10 comment on why you study.

Reflections on Why to Read (1): Books are flowers and readers are bees.

This is a book for literary lovers, or an old handwritten book that loves reading. He wrote down his reading experience, but it is the common feeling of many people who love reading as much as he does. People who don't study, people who don't have reading habits, won't feel that kind of joy. Because there is no resonance, it may be difficult for them to continue reading.

I feel empathy for some of the conclusions, such as reading will not change us. I have had such an experience. When I read the book again, it was "a reassuring and disappointing experience". When I open these books, our attention tends to focus on the sentences I drew or the words I wrote in the blank when I first read them, but the most important thing is that after a period of time, it may be months or years. Some people will probably sigh, have we never changed? The author said, "Only literary talent can bring freshness, which makes us feel elated and amazed every time we revisit the old works." "Oh, this is very worrying.

And what he said about reading, if you are in a daze, you may be touched by an idea or description for a while. Once the valve of memory is opened, the flood will never stop and the pleasure of reading will rise from that moment.

I also like an article in the book, "Reading for Love", which says: We start by liking characters; Then I like authors, and finally I like literature. I think it's true. I've had this experience myself. There is another passage in his article, which I think is simply vivid. It should be memorized: "When the explorer first walks into the primeval jungle, he will be amazed at the first millipede he meets. However, he trudged in the forest for several months and arrived at the clearing in the forest. When he saw the fairy gate dancing with the chirping of the piano birds, he would not lose his feeling and be indifferent. " This is what I feel when the reading world is getting bigger and bigger. I think just like when I first started reading, I have praised everything from Yu Dafu's prose to Shi Tiesheng's sentiment to Acheng's novels, and I feel that they control the words better than Fang Fang. But when I slowly walked out of the world of literature, I saw more and more diverse worlds, gained more and more beauty, and became more and more aware of the shallowness and narrowness at the beginning. Now I am reading Hesse and Calvino, and in their works, I feel more hearty words and unparalleled pleasure brought by literature.

The article "Where to Read" is the author's personal reading experience. It says that when I pick up a book again, I can't see the time marked on it, and my thoughts will be taken back to the past, as well as the freshness of reading. I remember hearing a teacher say that he envies those who have never read Jin Yong, because the pleasure of reading is always the most touching in the first place.

Finally, the author of the appendix is full of anxiety about reading. He said that in the information age, people are placed in smaller and smaller spaces, all information is provided by iPad, and people no longer need libraries. One day, when people are not reading, human beings will return to the natural state, just like animals, and the omnipotent tyrant will smile on the color screen of the earth.

However, reading is an eternal moment that several hermits perceive together in a slightly eccentric intangible space that can be called spiritual realm.

This is the book I borrowed from the first picture. Some readers have seen it before. He also underlined and wrote some notes. Every word is powerful. He said: a good book is a flower and a reader is a bee. I think it's good. I'll use this as the title.

Reflections on Why to Read (2): Excerpts from a Book

Reading is not the opposite of life, reading is life. This kind of life is more serious, but not so intense. Less frivolous, more stable and lasting, more self-sustaining pride, less empty conceit, accompanied by various weaknesses, pride, shyness, depression and retreat. In the utilitarian world, reading maintains a detachment that is conducive to our thinking.

Read to understand the world, read to understand yourself. If the reader is generous, then reading may also be to understand the author. I think this will only happen to the greatest readers, once they meet the first two needs of understanding the world and understanding themselves ... we read not for books, but for ourselves. Readers are the most selfish people.

Reading keeps us away from the real world for a while. I think it may be against the essence of reading to let myself remember the time and place of reading a book accurately. Reading is an eternal moment that several hermits perceive together in a slightly eccentric intangible space that can be called spiritual realm.

Reading a book successfully is as rare and beneficial as a perfect sexual act, leaving a happy memory. Readers share the same bed with reading materials. So reading is actually involved in writing, even if this participation is out of people's shameless, because writing is similar to sexual desire ... the reader is the author's accomplice. Andersen stood naked in front of the king.

People protest against life by reading. Life is a product with poor workmanship. We constantly meet some useless people in our lives. Life is full of repetition. The scenery of life is endless. If it submits to the publishing house, it will be rejected. Every time I think of the conversation I heard in real life, it is so dull and clumsy, and it is the same old story. I think this is one of the reasons why drama exists.

Proverbs are literary works that are closest to the writer himself, and are almost the direct expression of the writer's thoughts and feelings. Proverbs are not extracts, but the essence. The perfect finished product after carving. A bullet. The author aimed at what he called "people". Proverbs writers willingly become cynics. Proverbs are often binomial reasoning composed of topics and counter-propositions, just like a walnut pliers that can crush people.

Informatization will better serve the dignitaries, who can put human beings in small apartments, because human beings no longer need libraries, and everything is stored in the iPad. One day, when everything condenses into a small red dot, it will flash impatiently, then the light will be intermittent, less and less, and finally go out. Because no longer reading, human beings will return to the natural state, just like animals.

Reflections on Why to Read (Ⅲ) —— Excerpts from Why to Read

Sabah Daour: "When my friends are cyclops, I look at them from the side." Laziness, cowardice and even more dangerous modesty are waiting to repel readers. Trying to read is like trying on shoes. We shouldn't think that this and that don't suit us, because we don't. Some books really don't deserve us. I said to myself, just to get the essence Aggressive articles belong to the kind of food that is easy to be full after eating, and soon satisfy readers. Even if I take a partial view of the exaggerated things in the book, I find that only this exaggeration and its unfairness can capture some thoughts, which are never touched by trivial differences. I can't live without its burning anger. Reading: light yourself up and put out the light bulbs around you. We realize that we will die eventually, and we can only do our best on the road of life, not the best. Alas, we have become tolerant. We used to be Sanjust, but now we are the chairman of a bloated and balanced congressional Committee. We should be beheaded at the age of thirty. Youth and twilight are two completely different states of thinking and cognition. We are no longer naive young people. We are tolerant because of various compromises made in order to survive and not be overwhelmed by power, but we know something different from tolerance but as real as tolerance. We know this is an uncompromising moment. If we want to turn crowded earthworms into slender flowers like fairy tales, we must walk firmly and straight among them. Life is a story composed of facts. Life is prose, not romantic poetry.

Reflections on why you should study (4): Some ideas.

After reading it intermittently for a long time, I finally finished reading the book.

This book talks about several reasons for reading and things related to reading. It can be seen that the author is a well-read person. He has read many classic works, and likes Stendhal and Proust's Memories of Time Past. This book is also like a list of books, which mentions many books and some sentences in them. I don't know most of the books mentioned by the author. I still read too little and don't know much about foreign literature. I wrote down the book in which the author showed great enthusiasm. Others are destined to be read again, but I still want to read books that interest me first.

Some places are interesting to read, and the author is a humorous person. Lack of knowledge of foreign literature and history, so many places can only stop. Think more when you read: you read too little.

Why study? There should be no standard answer to this question, because everyone wants different things from books, but we should have an attitude towards classic works and beautiful and great works.

Reflections on why you should read it (5): It is by no means a simple book.

This is by no means a simple book. Due to the lack of literature, especially French classical literature, reading this book every night before going to bed is like completing the task of putting a tick on the annual reading list.

Some book reviews say that the translation of this book is not brilliant, which is a moderate view. In my opinion, this seems to be a common problem in French translation. The translations of these books are rough enough for fear that readers will not find out that this is a translation of French literature.

Generally speaking, it is not difficult to see from the content and style of this book that the author is an elite French writer. Ignore all American fast food pop culture, and mercilessly criticize purposeful pornography and superficial ready-to-eat news reports. Even a literary giant like Duras, the author would rather objectively point out the affectation of some of her works.

Extracted some good sentences. After finishing, I found the author's answer to the question: Why do you study? In order to fight with myself, I want to go beyond my shallow and narrow understanding of the world. In order to understand the author, I concentrate on reading and draw while reading to understand the author's writing intention and personal edges and corners.

Reflections on Why to Read (ⅵ): Read useless books and do useful things.

I saw it a long time ago. I suspect that I may not be reading this version. Because the book binding I read at this stage is particularly beautiful.

Being able to understand this book shows that I am really a Yan controller. Even pick books.

The cover design of the book is simple and generous, which is my favorite style. A packaged (cover design, hardcover cover is more eye-catching), beautifully printed (paper, font size), slightly interesting topic, not too bloody chicken soup, will make me have the urge to read it. Take this book as an example, and One Year in Provence. The exquisiteness of the latter is the level that can be used as a birthday present! This is the most beautiful book I have ever seen. I like the cover design and paper cover (hardcover+book cover) of that book very much.

After talking about my own Yan control, let's talk about books.

Some words in the book really suit me, just like what I wrote. Maybe it's because it's so suitable that it's boring. Everything I think, everything I think.

After reading it, I feel nothing. In other words, this is the biggest gain in itself. Read useless books and do useful things. This is not always my pursuit. When did it start to change? I'm not sure.

I'm glad I didn't choose literature at that time, but I will regret it one day? Not sure.

Reflections on why to study (7): Why to study literature (◎ _ ◎); )

A qualified and standard reading uselessness will appear in front of you anytime and anywhere to promote his reading art. I believe that the author will not agree with the author of How to Read a Book, and will not take reading uselessness as a follow-up book with researchers who dismember books. Because, an ordinary reader really faces such a basic question: there are so many things in this world, why should we study?

But don't say what reading can bring us in the end. Maybe value is a ridiculous game. Therefore, reading is of course useless. There are many lifestyles in this world, such as travel, games, painting and music practice. When modern technology turns art into something within reach. Is art still the owner of the temple? Or the flying muse? This is basically a paradox. Fundamentally speaking, people who can read must be idle people who need to spend their lives slowly. Ironically, the author of every book we read is a person struggling on the edge of life, at least at the beginning of early novels. Life seems to be thousands of millions, but you choose the most pretentious one. Isn't this ridiculous? Just like that great truth, the College of Liberal Arts has never cultivated a master of literature. How ironic this is.

But this is the impermanence of life. For a time, when there was nothing to do, reading became the only comfort for anxious teenagers. As readers, they have no money to buy, so they have to exchange books among their classmates. By that time, I could read and cry. I think it's really happy to have books. My family doesn't like reading, so I become a standard alien. When my uncle asked why you took the PhD in Semiotics, I was actually laughing, because it was nothing. After all, the purest hobby is games that are meaningful to you. As far as the essence of life is concerned, everything we do is ridiculous. Sometimes I think, well, life is still so long, and I want to do something to enrich the time of waiting for death. It seems that the most interesting thing is reading. If you think of waiting for death as waiting for the bus. I can also indulge in fantasy, chat with people and do many things. Why do you want to study again?

My favorite thing to do is to stroll slowly in the street. Especially at dusk, from day to night, it is the most beautiful picture in the world. The glory of the day was gradually replaced by the black world, so people began to open their other side. All kinds of people in the street began to wander around. Those people were like birds wandering in the sky, twittering and making noise. Therefore, I am willing to walk slowly past them and see what they are doing. Sometimes, I go to the bookstore to observe human behavior. The moment that fascinates me most is the moment when I observe human reading. People are immersed in the world of books, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing, sometimes shaking their heads and sighing. Or curl up in the corner of the bookstore and watch something quietly. The most interesting thing I remember is that I went to Qingyuan Bookstore several times and met my modern literature teacher. He always squatted on the ground indifferently, just like a farmer who had just harvested rice, looking at the world lightly. What I observed in his face was indifference and calm. In fact, he will be more radical in class. And his smoking always reminds me of lonely writers in cafes along the Seine. Joyce and Proust. Those souls who have stood in the world for a long time have left their loneliness to the world forever and are paying attention to every equally lonely soul in the world.

Every night, I don't want to fall asleep, because this moment is the quietest moment of the day, and it is the moment when everything and people sink deeply into rest. I often feel that life is always shining in the long night. Only Germany, a region with high latitude, can breed solemnity, complexity and abstraction. In romantic Italy, lovely Italian nerds are always wandering in the romantic world. I think this is the culture created by a region. Reading is such a useless thing that it can only exist in decadent and romantic places. Where time is dim and life is depressing, imagination can fly around like a winged bird. After all, he is definitely not an old pedant who is willing to study even if he is blind, but a romantic soul full of imagination. In the final analysis, people who love reading are still not satisfied with reality, so they will cast a possible world in their own souls.

No matter where you live, as long as you have books and imagination, life can still be colorful.

Thinking about why you should read (8): Be a quiet reader

I have always been a person who likes reading. I don't remember how my parents cultivated my reading hobby when I was a child. Probably told a lot of stories before going to bed. When I was a child, the most classic picture should be a dull little girl sitting in the yard reading with a small bench. When I was in middle school, I liked to read some books before going to bed. At that time, I felt that other students had no time to do homework every day, but I could still read extracurricular books every day. When I was in high school, I was taken by my classmates to read some popular books at that time, such as Anne Baby, An Yiru, Jing M. Guo. The painting style of the university suddenly changed. I didn't like reading youth literature, so I changed to reading books on the Internet and science and technology, but now I am reading some books that belong to the type of snake disease. ...

For such a long time, I have kept a quiet reading posture, but I have never thought about it-why study?

Until I saw this postscript that I had to memorize, Book: The Big Tree Growing in the Grave.

I completely forgot why I planted this book at that time. Anyway, it appeared on my wanted list, and then I borrowed this book from the library. However, looking at the first half of this book, to be exact, the first half of this book is quite boring. It feels like listening to a boring nerd. Except for a few words that make you smile occasionally, most of the reading time is a bit boring, a bit like the subtitle says-it is a useless universal literature manual.

Until I read the last postscript, I felt like crying for an instant. He sublimated my simple reading behavior into a charming and emotional sense of mission or destiny, just like giving a good man a medal of urban legend, just like telling an unlucky person that it is your destiny.

In my understanding, the author's point of view is expressed in vernacular Chinese, that is, reading by a single person may be useless, but for human civilization, reading and writing are cultural inheritance, handed down by the author and borne by the readers. Every inheritance will end with the death of the author or reader, but for the whole human civilization, it will last forever and overcome time and death. Therefore, books are big trees drilled from graves, and libraries are the only competitors of cemeteries.

In my opinion, the combination of reading and writing is a word-of-mouth version 2.0, which challenges the boundaries of time and space. After Yan Hui's death, Confucius began to write books, hoping that someone would inherit his theory. Now, in addition to words, there are a series of communication channels such as film and television, photography and painting. Thousands of years ago, writing books seemed to be the only way to preserve and disseminate information on a large scale. Therefore, the invention of printing and papermaking has played a great role in promoting human civilization, so that there will be a tragedy that has been loyal to life but has been notorious by several legendary novels, and there will be a worship of paper books since ancient times.

Seeing that hard-working writers are creating reading content at an alarming rate, the problem now becomes-there are too many people publishing books, and nerds are obviously not enough. The threshold for publishing books is getting lower and lower, and beauty writers, best-selling writers and cutting-edge writers grab a lot. If this box of new books is a hero by sales volume, the content is one thing, and the art of packaging and marketing means are more important. If you just read the title, cover and recommendation, the probability of stepping on the thunder is surprisingly high, and the role of reading in deleting and selecting will become more and more obvious. The recommendation book has become a more challenging thing.

No matter whether you read it or not, books are there, but those inconspicuous works, even if published, will never be appreciated and recognized, and will never be far from the mainstream value. It's like going back to the Confucius era. Writing has become a search for a bosom friend who exists outside time and space. If this century does not appear, it will have to wait until the next century. Anyway, as long as it is converted into bytes, it will be immortal with the Internet.

Compared with the immortality of writing itself, it is lucky to be able to soak in decades of life that can be said to be fast-growing and fast-dying, watching the ups and downs of a leopard and a leaf. Reading is a kind of entertainment I like and am used to. To quote a sentence I read in Weibo, a writer has written a condensed essence with years of skill (except a crash bestseller), and you can send it to you if you don't please. The author would also like to thank you for your preferential treatment in 20 yuan. If you want to be different from others and have interesting words, reading is the cheapest way, and books are very good. Indeed, I can't find anything more cost-effective than reading. Although the gains from reading are difficult to realize immediately, I may not be proud of myself if I have a poem in my stomach. Reading, as a personal choice, has diverted its energy to other more extensive, blind, impetuous and noisy activities from the very beginning. Then, not doing evil is a positive thing.

So, be a quiet reader. As for what books to read and how to read them, it only makes sense after forming reading habits.

Reasons for recommending this book:

1. Ordinary readers: Actually, I don't particularly recommend this book, but the postscript is excellent and worth reading.

2. Literature and sociology researchers: If you want to study reading culture, it should be of great reference value.

Why do you study?

Reflections on why to study (10): Why to study? You know it yourself!

Why study? This question seems to be rarely thought through. I often like to pick up a book and start reading through it. After reading it, I left the next one behind, leaving only a few stories in my mind. This is a zombie school for reading, not even a porter of knowledge. However, I believe that everyone has had such a reading stage, that time without enlightenment.

Why Read is the work of French writer Charles Dancziger. There are many reasons for reading in the book, such as self-discovery, love, making friends, self-comfort, etc. These are the subjective feelings of the author in the process of reading. In my opinion, this kind of book is of little guiding significance to other readers. At most, we can learn from the author's sensitivity to record his reading feelings.

Back to the question of why I study, although I didn't find the ideal answer from the book, I also have some ideas in my heart. First of all, reading should be pragmatic, that is, utilitarianism must exist, although not all. Reading is to be useful to yourself and others. You should learn from the books you have read what you have never known or felt, whether intellectually or spiritually. Refuse to be a zombie pie with no brains to input words. Secondly, the purpose of reading is to prove some original ideas in the book, or to find a friend for my lonely self. Many people will find that some characters or every bridge in a work are very similar to themselves. If the ending of the story can be more heroic or end in a perfect way, the reader's heart will resonate more, and the reader will feel satisfied with finding a confidant. They will think that this work is well written, will be praised by five stars, and will be recommended by vomiting blood. This model is a bit like a youth idol drama produced in South Korea. Sister paper thinks she is Cinderella in the story, waiting to meet the bloody story of Prince Charming, so she knows that it is meaningless to read it, but she is still stuck in it.

Finally, the process of reading is also the process of the growth and evolution of one's own thinking. Some people say that a rational person's reading is a confrontation with the author's thoughts. Feel the author's thoughts and opinions between the lines, and readers are also sorting out their own ideas. The author thinks so about a question, so what does he think? This process itself is a process of reverse thinking, which will not be remembered at ordinary times, but the author's introduction has opened the reader's mind. Therefore, reading more books is like talking to many people, and the three views on nature will be richer and more mature, and the thinking will be more comprehensive and profound.

There are as many as 2 million simplified Chinese books every year, and the reading speed can never keep up with the printing speed of the printing press. Of course, we should think about the purpose of learning, but if we can meet a certain work in the sea of books, isn't it a fate? If you like it, you might as well hold it in your hand, study it carefully, rotate with the wind and the moon, and let time pass.

Here are some excerpts:

For me, the printed matter I need is a book, which can be underlined and annotated in the blank space of the page. I was told that this is the best way to read.

A good reader writes while reading. He circled the words and drew sentences, and wrote his own comments in all the blanks of the printed matter.

We study not for books, but for ourselves. Readers are the most selfish people.

Readers don't want to be characters and ideas in the book, but want to be a genius.

By reading, we awaken the sleeping thoughts.

Our evaluation of a writer depends not only on the time when we read his works, but also on the age when we came into contact with his works, the age of the writer and our age.

Every reader is a person when reading, but he knows the existence of others and passes by them in a measured way.

Reading keeps us away from the real world for a while. Reading is an eternal moment that several hermits perceive together in a slightly eccentric intangible space that can be called spiritual realm.

Proverbs are the closest written works to the author himself, and are almost the direct expression of the author's thoughts and feelings.

Some readers read books to find reasons for their prejudice.

When we read, we are erasing time, not letting it pass. Erasing time means studying hard and concentrating on books.

Face is the only realistic book.

Reading in a state of passion is sometimes a harbinger of writing. Read, read, read, and then almost automatically develop to write, write, write.

When we insist on reading, we understand that we must read several books by the same author in succession. If the author was good at writing, that is, transforming materials, then he would not have revealed his various characteristics to us when he first met us.

In dance, not everything is a dance action. Therefore, reading can not only look at stories, but also look at what is behind literary techniques, thoughts and rhetoric.

A good interview record must have a talented interviewer, who must be knowledgeable but not ostentatious, respectful but not servile, curious but not worldly.

It's not me I like.
