In this somewhat impetuous era, reading seems to be becoming more and more of a luxury, there are too many things that can be distracting, as if only after bathing and changing clothes and sitting precariously, is it worthy of a long book of poetry.
But in fact, the generalized reading activities are more than less, we use Weibo, WeChat, Zhihu and other platforms to obtain trivial information every day, fragmented reading, shallow thinking has become the norm for contemporary people.
At one time, there was a reading myth of "German people reading books on the subway" on the Internet
However, after popularizing 4G network signals...
Many people are distressed by this, thinking that it is the degeneration of the Internet age, but in fact, this kind of problem has a long history, the legitimacy of reading is not a matter of course, questions about the novel network text are endless, the culprit is also from tv to computer to mobile phone continuous iteration, reading problems must be solved through reading.
The key lies in the quality of the book itself, as well as the mentality of the reader, Lu Xun said, "turning it over, turning it over, there is a comparison, and comparison is a good way to heal the deceived", this kung fu can not be saved, but also depends on each person to practice. But Xiaobei can still recommend some well-received books to you, which may not be suitable for you, but at least in the average sense, better than other books.
Treat a good book as an island of treasures, and our reading is a treasure hunt. Some of the islands with a large number of treasures are passed down by word of mouth, so we also go to them; some islands have treasures buried deeply, which requires us to search for and dig them repeatedly.
Encountering a good book, like discovering a wonderful treasure, is an extremely fortunate and glorious thing. Because the "treasures" in the book are the precipitation of time, the condensation of the wisdom of the ancients and the present, and the spiritual wealth that many people cannot accumulate in their lifetimes. Sometimes, a good book is enough to change a person's destiny. What's more, a good book can change the fate of a people.
Reading a book is sometimes very accidental, or it is just the cover and the cover of the book to look at each other, or the topic and title are enough to be curious, or the word of mouth of friends and teachers, or the content is hardcore enough to stand the test of time... Hopefully, one or more of the books in this list will make you blue-eyed.
