Way to the Qur'an is a really inspiring and practical book. It divulges the benefits and etiquette of reciting and studying the Qur'an. I learned from this book that I must (a) isolate myself from the world and (b) devoute myself to the Qur'an.
Isolation or separation is necessary so that we can focus. Every letter of hte Qur'an is meaning, and incurs the reward of 10 good deeds if recited correctly. So it is important to give each letter of the Qur'an its right of pronunciation and reflection which is only possible when we have put all the distractions and chores of the world aside. I find it really helpful to recite the Qur'an in the morning, that's when my house is the quietest and my mind is the most awake and fresh to really pay attention to the Qur'an and let its message sink in my soul.
Devotion or loyalty to the Qur'an is also crucial in sense that we should be regular companions of the Qur'an. Read and study it consistently and make a point to follow its teachings always. Our lives should be dedicated to the Qur'an. I remember when I used to play video games, I was very faithful to my game CDs and I would adhere to all the rules of the game. But now inshaAllah Qur'an will have my full loyalty. Only the Qur'an will control my life and dictate what I do and how I spend my time.

Quran should be recited in a place where one can be on just reciting Quran and worldly thoughts do not interfere during recitation
