I have also tried hard, the book just can't read, what to do?

Suppose, you already have a book.

After reading a few sentences, I found that I couldn't read it, I couldn't read it, what should I do?

My recommended method is:

Don't force it, forget it, throw it aside.

- Does it sound a little simple and rude?

Well, in fact, no problem.

All along, it seems that we have always been encouraged: to read books, we must also face the difficulties and overcome the thorns. There are so many must-read books in life, and it is only when you finish reading them that you are complete.

If you can't read it, you have to nibble on it with your heart, read it desperately, and read it out to be enjoyable...

Margaret Duras, however, said bluntly that she could not read Roland Barthes's book. She had no prejudice against Bart and even had a friendship, but, "I can't read it." ”

Similarly, Hemingway's book was considered succinct and iceberg theory, but Raymond Chandler thought he was rambling.

There are also true love readers who have changed their hearts, such as Flaubert, when he was young, reading Hugo's novels like crazy; later, when he was older, reading Hugo's novels, he had great doubts and felt that Hugo was not scientific enough. What he despised was not the general novel, but the legendary masterpiece "Les Misérables".

Flaubert shouted:

"I have admired Hugo all my life, and now I feel indignant! I'm going to burst out, how! This novel is neither true nor great. The author deliberately writes in an unsophisticated and elegant manner to please the mediocre... All kinds of people are rigid and rigid, like characters in tragedy! Where in life are there prostitutes like Fantine, slaves like Jean Valjean? ...... It's all dummies, sugar men... Large expositions of reasoning, all off-topic matters, not a single sentence to the point... Posterity will not forgive, he actually wants to be a thinker, and it is not in line with his nature! ”

If you say this in class, it is probably enough to surprise the teacher.

However, out of the mouth of The Blessed Loup, it seems that it is also... Understandable?

In fact, not many works in the world are perfect, not many works must be read, and not many works must be read.

There are already too many books in the world that are "too famous for you to say you don't like them when you're done reading them, but they don't have to.

Many people can't read it, and they will blame their own problems and feel that they are impatient.

But a book and a person have to talk about fate.

A person's existing knowledge structure and interest in the subject will affect the progress and fun of reading.

At the same time, there aren't so many books that are perfectly evenly written everywhere and are fun to read from start to finish.

It's nothing to read. Zhuge Liang's so-called reading "just look at its general outline" is a good habit.

García Márquez once said that as a writer of novels, such as himself, it is inevitable that he will read novels with a different mentality. Not to read a story to refresh yourself, but to "dissect the novel and see how he wrote it."

It is probably similar to a cook who eats Miyoshi chicken not for a full stomach, but thinks about how Miyaho chicken does; a fan watches football not to think about winning or losing, but to see how the techniques and tactics of both sides are arranged.

This kind of insider doorway dissection already belongs to the category of case analysis and technical learning, and it is already a learning.

A very appreciated mindset, but not necessarily.

After all, most non-professionals do not necessarily need to have a learning mentality and tolerate what to learn.

Modern people's lives are already too trivial, and they are really born with an end and know that there is no end. Chasing all the way against your mind, you actually can't get anything.

So, unless you have to read textbook preparation exams, or you want to engage in this business, there are not many books in the world that you have to read and have to bite your teeth if you can't read them.

Reading a book that may not be so elegant, and can not be put on social platforms to brag about it, but it is good to like it.

It's happier than gritting your teeth and forgetting a book you don't like, and it's easier to develop the habit of reading.

Who said: Must read?

Well, OK.

My favorite methods are:

When you first read it, read it attentively and quickly.

When rereading, multiple books are mixed up and read back and forth.

Because of a difficult book, if you try to figure out all the details at first reading, it is easy to make yourself disgusted.

When reading it for the first time, look at its outline, look at the context, familiarize yourself with the paragraphs, and choose and write down the paragraphs you like.

At this time, if you mix and read other books, the situation, sense of language, rhythm, and logic are easy to be deviated.

So concentrate on reading:

Even if it's a quick read, I'll talk about it after reading it.

When I reread it, I tasted it, read the passages, and enjoyed it. At this time, it can be mixed with back and forth reading.

Reading academic books, reading boring, reading novels; reading novels, reading streams, reading comics; comics look slippery, want to come to some compact, and come back.

And so on.

A small trick is that even if you change books back and forth, you can also consider looking at relatively close subjects - this way the switch is particularly smooth.

For example:

You're reading Napoleon's at the end of the second volume of The Military History of the Western World, and you're bored, well, go back and read the novel passage from War and Peace or Les Misérables, and then you're bored, look at The manga written by Tetsuya Hasegawa that Napoleon wrote; look at it, and you can cycle back.

For example, you are reading "History of Latin America" and you are a little dizzy; then look at Márquez's "The General in the Labyrinth", suddenly look into it, and after reading it for a while, look at Borges's short story "Guayaquil", the gossip rises, and then looks back at "Latin American History".

For example, you are reading Mr. Rushan's "North China People's Food Examination", looking at it, "Oh, isn't this what Mr. Lao She wrote about?" "By the way, take Mr. Lao She's novel to read, read and read," In fact, Mr. Wang Dunhuang also wrote about eating in old Beijing", after reading Wang Dunhuang for a while, "Then I will look at the artifacts written by Mr. Wang Shixiang by the way, anyway, they are next to each other..."

Similar subject matter, easy to have a friendly reading atmosphere.

After getting used to this atmosphere, over time, every time you re-read it, you will return to this atmosphere - probably similar to Yu Dafu saying that when you eat smoked ribs, you think of the autumn of Peking.

Finally, when you are tired, don't force reading.

People's self-control and understanding are linked to physical strength, so if you want to nibble on most of the tomes that require excellent comprehension ability, the sooner the better every day, and the best physical strength is especially good.

The more you go to bed, the more people can't move the big book, and it will be better to read a book that is relatively simple and smooth at a glance.

Combined with the routines mentioned above, namely:

It is relatively suitable for the first reading of hard nibbles during the day, and it is relatively suitable for re-reading and revisiting at night.

Trying to nibble on a book that's too hard at night will make you feel like reading is a chore.

Relax, adjust the adjustment re-reading is very good, do not feel guilty.

For example, reading academic books during the day, reading novels at night, reading cooked books before going to bed, or even flipping through comics - this is also very good.

It makes more sense to keep making yourself feel that reading is a pleasure than nibbling on a book for a while.

And most importantly:

If you really can't read it, don't read it.

As an author who has barely managed to make a point of books, it is probably a bit of a self-defeating way to say so...

But:

There are not so many books in the world that are worth reading hard.

This truth is not only applicable to reading.
