Before going to bed, I like to read books and dream, this habit has been insisted on for decades, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the books that accompany me to sleep have exceeded 10,000 volumes.
From the beginning of falling in love with reading, probably shortly after elementary school, I liked to go to bed with books, turn books to sleep, and embrace books to sleep.
Reading books during the day always seems to be unable to concentrate, while reading books at night can really enter the book, and no one and anything can disturb them.
If it's a rainy evening, sitting in front of the window, listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the window, drinking a cup of thick hot coffee, and reading a favorite book, it is very pleasant.
Or the snowy dusk, let the snowflakes fly outside the window, and lie alone in the warm quilt to read a book, it is even more wonderful.
After many years, I realized that reading books also requires artistic conception, and reading favorite books in a specific environment is a special enjoyment.
Although I have been reading books since the third grade of elementary school, I really read books when I was in junior high school.
At that time, I was nervous about studying on weekdays, and basically had no time to read, and only in the winter and summer vacations could I enjoy myself in the world of books.
When I was in elementary school, I read a variety of books, and after junior high school, I chose my favorite books to read, and the difference between the two can be imagined.
In the hot summer, the ink fragrance of the book is rubbed into the various fragrances of the painting, and it is immersed in the heart and lungs one after another, making people indulge in it.
In the cold winter, the cold moist of snowflakes stirred the ink fragrance of books, wave after wave into the mind, making people instantly become extremely awake.
When I am tired of reading, I will lie on the book for a nap, and sometimes I will sleep in the book, talk with the characters in the book, and wake up to find that it is a yellow sorghum dream.
For every book I have read, in addition to engraving my favorite content in my head, I also like to carefully collect the book, just like making a specimen.
At every stage of my life, I like different books, but there is one type of book that I have always liked to this day, and that is Song Ci.
Whether it is Su Dongpo's words or Li Qingzhao's words, I can't get tired of reading them, and every time I can read them with different feelings and new gains.
Of course, I also like Naran Rongruo's words very much, especially the phrase "if life is only like the first sight", which can always make people feel excited every time they read it.
Some books are gorgeous, like beautiful people with heavy makeup, and readers can't help but be a little dizzy and pleasing to the eye.
Some books are rich in content and simple in writing, just like a scholar with a full belly, always allowing people to read different connotations and meanings, and have a different taste in their hearts.
From the ancient poems, I can read not only the beautiful and wonderful mood, but also the dissatisfaction and resentment, frustration and helplessness.
When I am depressed and sad, reading Su Dongpo's words can make me quickly come out, forget unhappy things, and become relaxed and happy.
I like Song Ci, I like every poet in the book, their noble souls change me and influence me, and their spirit of not giving up and not compromising inspires me.
The reason why a good writer can write works that have been passed down through the ages is because they have a spirit, a kind of pointing light that can illuminate the reader's path of life.
That's why I love to read, those masterpieces can sublimate my soul and make my life full of hope.
In this unprecedented and rapidly developing society, reading can always give me a sense of tranquility and sobriety, and make me feel that life is worth it, life is worth it.
