“If you read 100 pages a day, you are not reading at
all”
“Using a pencil while reading a book to underline the
important passages, is essential for the good assimilation/understanding of the
story.”
“The discussion with other fans after reading a book
is as important as the skill to read.”
These and some other interesting thoughts I’ve heard
over the years spring up in my mind, when the matter at hand is the better ways
to read. I guess there are so many of them as there are readers in the world. Some
of these suggestions are preferred by many much more than others, though
according to my opinion there’s something good and worthy of trying in any of
the various ways to read. For example, nothing else could compare with the
thoughts and discussions that could appear after reading a book in a company of
like-minded (or not so like-minded) people or friends. Or when we are listening
to music that’s not loud but is suitable for the book we are reading, or when
we read in good surroundings like in the middle of a forest glade surrounded by
beautiful flowers, nice animals, quiet whisper of a small stream, etc. I guess
many readers would agree that reading at the beach of a calm sea/ocean could be
even better?
Probably not all the readers would consider modern
technologies as an essential part of the better ways to read (many people
cannot handle laptops, e-readers very well, or their eyes tire too much after
staring at the LCD screens for a long time), but the reading devices of today
could really bring “fresh air” in the wonderful experience called reading. E-readers
and laptops are the easiest solution for the problem to carry many books (or
even a whole library) anywhere we’d like. And the weight of these amazing
devices is from 200-300 g to a couple of kilograms! Using them, we could read a
few books at the same time with very little efforts (I mean we could re-read some
important parts of other books, while reading a similar story, or start reading
another different book, if we are not in a mood to finish the one we are
reading at the particular moment, etc). Besides, it’s not a problem at all to
make some suitable playlists with the appropriate music for the book we are
reading, with some of these devices we could use Internet to search for some important
and interesting info that’s connected with the story we read and at no time at
that, making our reading even more amazing and “educational”, etc.
As in some other posts/notes of mine, I must underline
that I’m not the ultimate expert (in anything ;), so I guess many others could
share much better reading experience and ways to read?
