Making reading a habit

I wanted to write this log for a long time, but I still don't think there is time. Today I read the first 100 pages of the book "good mom is better than good teacher", and found many valuable things, the author also emphasizes the importance of reading in the book, and directly owes her daughter's success to her reading a lot when she was a child.
 
I think everyone knows the importance of reading. In small ways, reading can make people think, give people happiness, and discover a new world in the book. A martial arts novel is a world, when you are studying, you will be able to see the fun you have never experienced in your life. In the big aspect, reading can help people learn how to behave and guide themselves forward to success. I have no doubt that a person who does not read or rarely read can have an extremely rich spiritual world, and is even less likely to have a smooth life and achieve enviable achievements. Reading, as the most important aspect of reading, is tens of millions of times more important than reading magazines and reading webpages. It is naturally the core of reading.
 
In the book "A good mother is better than a good teacher", the author mentioned that her daughter has finished studying the fourteen martial arts novels of Jin Yong after graduating from primary school, and she has read 15 million-20 million words in high school, this large amount of reading has brought her daughter a different childhood from other children, and naturally has different gains from others. The achievements made are taken for granted. The author believes that a person who does not read is ignorant, a family who does not read is boring, and a people who does not read is superficial. It sounds similar to saying that "if you don't study for three days, you will be ugly. Obviously, I envy my daughter for being able to read so many books at a young age, and even read many Chinese and foreign famous books during primary school, at that time, I had no idea what I was doing. Although there are still a lot of books in the house, but I have not read much, and the result is that the Chinese scores are gradually getting worse, which is exactly what the author said in the book, from elementary school to high school, the Chinese examination is more and more out of the book knowledge, more focused on the study of a person's reading accumulation. Everything seems to have a reason. I tried to change my mind during my college years. I read many famous books and post-writing articles, but I still feel that I am not doing much to improve myself, mainly because I am reading less books and reading less famous books, I have read many books while I was in college. I had read many books in the experimental class. When I was still immersed in John clisdorf, other students were already reading the poems of HOMA. oracle is a classic in my opinion. Of course, I hope that it is not too late for me. Although it is a step behind others, my life has only passed for more than 20 years.
 
The above is a bunch of useless words. Below I will list my thoughts on reading in a few small points.
 
How to choose books?

The first thing to read is to choose books. There are so many books on the market, from which you can find books that are helpful to you or books that are not completely entertaining. The famous books published by Yilin Publishing House are certainly worth reading, and well-known and influential writers can also read the books. Books do not care about miscellaneous, and cannot be framed as read-only books. As long as they are good books and what type of books they are, reading them will never suffer. For example, I regret that I have not read any martial arts novels of Jin Yong. You don't need to remember everything you talk about in every book anyway. This book can bring happiness and let you learn something.
There are several methods to choose books, which can be used for reference. One is to look at the book sales lists of major e-commerce companies, and the books listed above are basically not bad books. Another way is to view others' ratings on Douban, which should be good at not lower than 8.0. Douban, Douban, and friend recommendations can help you find good books. I also sent a reading flowchart, Where I used the score of Douban as the standard. I was scolded on Douban and said that my score of 8.0 was unreliable. Afterwards, I think this is indeed a bit absolute, but in the case of a short time, I believe that the eyes of the masses are still a little secure.

How can I get my desired book?

To get the expected books, buying them must be the most important means. The prices of major e-commerce companies are much cheaper than that of bookstores. We all know that the real bookstore is closed. In addition to purchasing books, borrowing books is naturally the main method. For students, borrowing books from the library should be as important as taking classes. Koalas once said: People who waste time are the most idiotic dummies in the world! People who waste library resources are the second big dumb in the world! In this case, the Library is the place in which the students and other students in the school can be distinguished. Only the students in the school can enter the library, not to mention reading so many books in it. But not everyone cherishes the unique resource of the library. Many people simply use the library as a study room and ignore the books in it. It is really sad. Half a year after I left school, I had to buy my own books so that I felt better about having a library. In addition to the two main methods, the exchange is also possible, which is often done on Douban.
When should I study?

Having a book, but having no time to read it, and having a heavy subject, busy work is definitely not an excuse. In fact, it takes less than seven or eight hours to read a book. Even if it takes seven or eight hours, it is not difficult to take one hour a day to read a book. Every time I go to Xie Wen alone and take the subway line 10 from Suzhou Street to Jinsong, it takes about an hour. I don't have access to the Internet on my mobile phone. Naturally, I need to find a way to pass the time and stare at what the passengers are doing. Obviously, it's a nonsense idea. So I chose to study, reading a book on the subway is not as Bumpy as it is on the bus, and not many people around them are affected by loud speeches like on the bus. Many people are quietly watching their mobile phones and posting on Weibo. Among them, I read a book well. Of course, there are still people watching e-books with the Kindle and iPad around, and they are unaware of each other, so that those who call one side do not consciously reduce their tone.
The time on the subway is just one area that is easy to ignore. The more important thing is the more comfortable reading time. I think it should be before going to bed at night. Go to bed more than half an hour in advance, and then pick up a book from the bed and read it quietly. No one will disturb you, so you can fully immerse yourself in it. Make sure you want to know when to go to bed in advance. Even if you suddenly find this book interesting, you will be happy to read it in one breath and try to leave it for tomorrow. However, it is better to read some books in one breath. I remember when I was in my first day, a relative told me that he had read "Three musketers" for more than 1000 pages. I read the book from AM and read it three days in the early morning. I thought it was incredible at the time that I had never been so crazy about my own reading, but I envy this crazy reading. This is definitely a proof that it has fully attracted readers, so that I can never forget to eat, I think it's almost the same as reading. So don't read books very thick. It's not that difficult to read more than 1000 pages a week. Isn't it good to take some time on Saturday or Sunday to read them? For those who are reading fast, it is a small case.
What do I do after reading a book?

Now I will write a book review after reading a book, but this is not necessary. Writing a book review only allows me to make a rough look at the ideas of the book, or abstract some wonderful paragraphs or sentences, which is not much different from reading notes in the general sense. No matter whether you write or not, the difference is not big. The key to reading a book is reading. You don't have to repeat the story of a book. It depends on the individual. As a matter of fact, many of the content in the book has already entered a person's mind, and will pop up from his mind in occasional occasions, such as what happened, I suddenly thought of a sentence in a previous book and thought it would be appropriate to put it here. "Smart is a beautiful sugar paper", the sentence in a book I have read makes me remember deeply.
Of course, if you have Douban, you can mark the books you have read. With the increase in the number above, it seems very fulfilling and you can see your progress at a glance, it is also an incentive. I hope that I can reach the level of 2000 books as soon as possible. This may take decades.
Other miscellaneous

I set myself to read at least one book a week so that I can read at least fifty books a year. I know it is still a little difficult to achieve this. If there are many things in a certain period of time, the goal may not be achieved. The only thing I can do is to improve my reading speed as much as possible.

Liu Yu mentioned in "give you a bullet" that some of her American friends have special cultures. They share a common characteristic that there is no TV or a lot of books at home. Yin Jianli also mentioned the difference between TV and books in "good mom is better than good teacher. I think I should not go to an extreme home without even a TV, but at least I should let myself watch less TV, especially when I have children, and I should set an example to accompany my children to study together. I sincerely hope that my children can read more books in their childhood. I will certainly buy many books and enjoy them in all sorts of ways, so that they can learn the fun and benefits of reading from an early age. Even in the future household expenses, the cost of buying books in a month should be at least 5%-8% of a person's monthly salary. This is too far away, but it is my real idea.
 
 
In this age, are there really few readers? I think it's hard to say that QQ's big data told me that I really admire those who insist on reading books. In fact, I am only reading books that someone else has read long ago. When talking about persistence, it is best to make reading a habit and become an indispensable part of life. If there are fewer people doing so, such persistence will become more precious. I have never heard of nerd for a long time.
 
Reading is something you should do all your life.
