In this article, there are 8 ways listed to help you hunt for great books to read.  Reading is an invaluable way to become a more efficient and effective student.  As you take these small steps, you will be surprised at how quickly you will start noticing an improvement in studying, and your knowledge in general.

• Be on the alert for references to important and interesting books as you are on the internet, watch TV, read magazines, or when reading books.

• Read book reviews in magazines and newspapers
• Peruse best seller lists.
• Wander the aisles of book stores (new and used) and used book sales.
