How to track books you have read

The trick to tracking your reading is not discipline – it is having one place where every book gets a status, a date and a line about what you thought. Here is how to set that up in an evening.

How to import your Goodreads library

Years of reading history should not keep you anywhere. Goodreads lets you export everything as one CSV file, and Must Read imports it in minutes – dates, ratings and reviews included.

How to time your reading sessions

Timing your reading sounds obsessive until you try it once. A timer turns "I read a bit last night" into pages per hour, real session lengths and a finish date you can predict.

How to read classic books on your iPhone

Everything published before roughly 1930 – Austen, Dickens, Dostoevsky, Woolf – is in the public domain, and most of it is beautifully digitised. You just need a proper reader and a way to keep it organised.
