In Game of Thrones, there is a famous dwarf "little demon" Tyrion Lannister. Although he is deformed and short, he is good at thinking, intelligent and capable.
When the "little devil" explains why he loves reading so much in the play, he says the classic line:
Reading can experience a thousand lives, while those who do not read can only live once.
People who read and those who don't read accumulate day by day, and eventually become a world of difference.

Someone once asked: "I read a lot of books, but then most of them forgot, what do you mean by reading like this?" ”
A: "When I was a kid, I ate a lot of food and now I can't remember what I ate. But what is certain is that some of them have grown into my bones and flesh. ”
In fact, the books you have read have long been integrated into your bones and blood, and it only takes a touch point to spew out.
As a reader, book writer, and founder, Luo Zhenyu (Luo Fat) has always played the role of reading "guide", and paved 24 reading paths in "The Method of Reading", wrote down 24 kinds of happy experiences you may get in reading, and told the methods and pleasures of reading in more than 160 interesting details and fragments of books.
1, Luo Zhenyu: a fat man who can read, read out of the tens of billions of net worth
Luo Zhenyu was born in 1973 in Wuhu, Anhui.
At the June 1st Children's Day event in the first grade of primary school, Luo Zhenyu was assigned the "most unpopular project for children": going to the city library.
At that time, although the teacher was only to assign the project, Luo Zhenyu has since carried the character setting of "love reading".
In order to maintain the human setting and live up to everyone's expectations, Luo Zhenyu began to read a lot, constantly input and output, and maintained this habit until now.
Therefore, in college, Luo Zhenyu was called "a fat man who can read"; but after graduation, he was the producer of CCTV's "Economy and Law" and "Dialogue" column, the chief planner of the First Financial Channel, the founder of the "Friend of Time" New Year's Eve speech, and the main speaker of the "Logical Thinking" program.
There are too many honors and too many labels in his body, and almost every key moment can be anchored by a specific book.
At the age of 15, he met Jin Shengsi and knew that he "felt the wonderfulness of the world with his heart".
At the age of 20, he met Dostoevsky and understood "the brilliance and shadow of human nature".
At the age of 30, he met the "Complete Biography of Cixi" and knew how to "put himself in the shoes of the people" and understand it.
At the age of 40, he met Wan Weigang, He Fan, Wu Jun, Xiong Yi and other book writers, and gradually summoned up the courage to start an APP.
At the age of 49, he published "Methods of Reading". All his subsequent works are extensions and extensions of this book.
Luo Zhenyu used his life to prove to us that reading is a weapon of self-improvement.
He is both a "curator" who designs the lines and themes for us in "The Method of Reading"; he is also a "director", standing at the door of the "treasure house of the great spirit of mankind" and using a book to guide our reading taste.

2, the way to read: if you don't love books, then love books
Luo Fat said in the preface to "The Method of Reading": This book has only one goal, so that you are willing to read.
As Maugham put it:
To develop the habit of reading is to build a refuge for yourself, so that you can escape from almost all the pain and misfortune of the world.
People who love to read are happy. One should read for pleasure.
We all understand the truth, and we know the benefits of reading, but there are still many people who can't read and don't know the way to read.
Some people think that you should bathe in incense and make sufficient preparations before reading; others think that reading word by word and careful reading is the true meaning of reading...

Many people are too concerned about the posture of reading, and they have not been able to enjoy the joy of reading. But Luo Zhenyu, in "The Method of Reading", gave us a new reading direction:
What I care about is not whether you can eat and squeeze a book dry, but whether you can continue to maintain the pleasure of reading, and you are willing to continue to return to the book for a lifetime to gain strength.
There is no forbidden area for reading, but there is a path for reading. There is indeed a way to read, and I am convinced of this.
But reading really does not have to have so many "pure rules and precepts", just meet with a great soul, and fully experience the joy of "good reading, not seeking much understanding; every time you have a will, you will gladly forget to eat".
This book" written from the perspective of a reader is a reading journey guided by interest, telling you that "if you don't love books, then love books" seems unreasonable.
In this book, you will meet more books, find 24 paths for you to jump in in 24 chapters, and jump in or out of books anytime and anywhere to witness the scenery of different paths.

3. The best way to open "The Method of Reading"

Similarly, there is no way to read The Method of Reading, and action itself is the method. You can read it at any time, simply and casually choose the chapters you like and need, and you will eventually gain something.
The book will not give you any big truths and boring reading skills, only Luo Zhenyu uses personal experience to help you dissolve dyslexia, discover the joy of reading, show the way to love reading, and make you willing to pick up the book and start reading.
In fact, this is also the biggest secret that this book wants to show everyone about reading: any book can be opened and closed at any time. Looking up at books, not looking up at books; being responsible for yourself, not for books; and thus falling in love with reading, easy reading, and massive reading.
So, how exactly is this "Method of Reading" read and can get the best experience?
The co-founder and CEO of APP and Luo Ji Thinking did not spend it, giving us three reading directions:
First, please don't read it verbatim from beginning to end. Change your reading mindset, see reading as a relaxing and enjoyable thing, and don't cling to having to read a book from beginning to end.
Second, please don't "finish" this book. Stay "readable" and enjoy the pleasure of meeting the souls in the book.
Third, please not only use this book, but also "use" Luo Fat. Use Luo Zhenyu as a guide on this "reading journey" to understand how to make books a source of fun and a resource for self-improvement.
