Title: The Way of Reading: The Book That Doesn't Fit Is the Most Expensive Waste
Recently, the editor saw a literary friend asking Lao Luo, saying that he couldn't stand reading the historical records, and the situation was a little embarrassing. You say this historical record, a serious history book, it is a bit big to read. But Lao Luo's answer is refreshing, what do you say? Put down the book that is not suitable, don't force yourself! Wow, this is a good thing! The editor immediately felt that his eyes lit up, and decided to sort out Lao Luo's experience and share it with you.
First of all, Lao Luo said that reading a book can't be like being beaten, you have to read a book that you are not interested in at all. In the final analysis, reading is not a kind of hard labor, but a wonderful encounter with knowledge and wisdom. So, if you can't get by with a book like Shiji, which makes you want to sleep after reading a paragraph, just put it down, don't force it! Maybe you can find the joy of reading by changing to a light-hearted and interesting read.
Furthermore, Lao Luo emphasized that reading should have feeling, thickness, depth, and angle. It's not enough to be interesting, it's a little bit more interesting, so don't keep staring at the so-called classics, sometimes those books may not be for you. In the 90s, "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" and "The Collapse of the Heavenly Empire" were in the limelight, and Lao Luo couldn't help but follow the trend and buy a copy. It turned out that Lao Luo had not even read a general history at that time, let alone explained it. No, can you blame him for not being able to read it? So, when you read, you have to take it step by step, don't rush for quick success, let alone compare. Likes are king, don't suffer yourself to show your reading level.
Finally, I would like to add that reading is a kind of enjoyment, a pleasure of immersion. There is no need to force yourself to read books that you are not interested in in order to pursue so-called literary tastes. It's like eating, if you don't like to eat the dishes, you can stuff them into your stomach, which is self-abuse! So, don't embarrass yourself, put down the books that don't fit you, find the thickness that suits you, and enjoy the fun of reading!
Oops, having said all that, the editor is a little enthusiastic! Well, that's it, let's talk next time!
