They are neither old-school readers nor conformist writers, they are the more common "slash youth" in the post-90s, they can catch up with the fresh trend, but occasionally they can sit down and talk to you about the spiritual world.
The online world is moving too fast, and the post-90s generation that grew up in the wave of the Internet are better at looking at the culture adhered to by the older generation from a broad perspective. Just like Whale Book was asked, when she was reading what book she was reading recently, she turned it out one by one from Douban:
"Picture Book of Corpse Changes", "Jin Ping Mei", "175 Suicide Notes", "Carving the Earth", "Repeat 3: Jumping Out of Crazy Busy", and "Ben" word format "That Untold Story".
You see, this is the Whale Book, and this is also the way Si Si reads.
Our feelings for "books" seem to be really not as deep as before, and once upon a time there would be lonely people who said that "reading is useless", referring to "knowledge cannot change fate".
And now "reading is useless", more like expressing views on paper media, it is too slow and can not turn over, for people who want to obtain information, paper books are too bulky.
Meaning changes and changes, do we really have less interest in reading a book?
Living in the same neighborhood, just walk to another building, Si Si can successfully reach the whale book.
"At a friend's house, it makes me want to read more, and when you go to a friend's house and he's busy, you can flip through a book at home." What's so good about that? To me, everyone's bookcase is like a locked, very personal cabinet. What kind of person this person is, you don't look at him talking, you look at what books he reads. ”
Whale Shukou herself is a person who is not too picky about reading occasions, and at the same time, she does not reject various emerging "reading methods". Internet celebrity bookstores, listening software, and online novel platforms are all in the form of "reading" in her place, and there is no distinction between high and low.
Asked if reading would be replaced, Whale Book said:
"First of all I don't think it's going to be replaced, and secondly I think it's going to be presented in a new way, and as far as reading is concerned, maybe I feel it's just a medium, and more importantly, the content. In ancient times, people lit campfires and told stories in caves at night. Later, there were storytellers, and listening to books can actually be counted as an ancient form. ”
Along the way, we talked about the topic of "women's reading is useless".
The mothers in the cartoons are always similar, they are not without school, they have not worked, but once they become housewives, everyone seems to automatically forget her knowledge and her career achievements. From "Big Head Mom, Little Head Dad" to "Big Ear Tutu", it's all the same.
On this topic, as soon as the whale book opened its mouth, it talked about agricultural civilization.
Si Si said that her former interview subject, Dr. Deng, participated in forensic work in the 90s, because she did not have so developed scientific and technological equipment at that time, so she practiced a skill and solved many major and important cases.
Si Si used a long paragraph to prove how skilled Dr. Deng was, such as "When I was a child, she was the one who appeared on CCTV's "Face to Face". ”
Then Siss said: "She is the director of a DNA laboratory today and has two sons, and her two sons have no idea how good his mother is and doesn't know." ”
From her point of view, it is more difficult to do women's columns, and girls may refuse to appear on camera because of their stature and appearance, but she still firmly believes that women need to express.
Whale Book thinks the same way.
"I especially like to read Tang poems and Song ci since I was a child, and you will find that the author in it often writes about 'cardamom years', in fact, it is very erotic, in the male narrative this thing is a kind of beauty for him, just like a flower inserted in a vase, but he does not care whether the flower wants to be plucked or not." 」
Read on, write on. "Feathers are not for cherishing, they are for flying." This is the answer that Si Si got when chatting with Teacher Li Xinpin.
We mentioned the list of books in the Whale Book at the beginning, so let's talk about it again.

In the eyes of whale books, reading books is not the most important thing in itself, and the ability to maintain empathy and understand others may be more important than reading books.
But there is a very convincing reason for reading: we may not be able to meet the person who wrote the book, but if you read his book, it will resonate with his thoughts.

Let's go back to the topic #Reading Girls, what's different? #, at a time when the term "reading" is difficult to define the meaning, it is really difficult for us to get an answer, but what is certain is that you who can read these 4,000 words are a little skilled.
