Nowadays, people have the opportunity to read books in many genres, including science, classics, and the latest works. However, with so many options, some may find it hard to decide what to read.
Therefore, it’s necessary to create your own filter for choosing books. To do this, you should first read a variety of genres. Try reading popular works, old works, new works – read widely. Through these books, you’ll start to understand which works are truly valuable to you. Observe the changes in yourself after reading. This way, you can gradually develop your own filter. Once you have gone through such a reading period, you will be able to find something valuable in whatever you read, and you will understand what kind of books to choose.
Next, how to develop the habit of reading? The key is patience. The more you read, the more you’ll like it, and the more you like it, the more you’ll read.
Initially, even if you’re not in the habit of reading, you’ll find yourself able to read fantasy like Harry Potter. Later, you might want to try Chinese martial arts novels or detective novels like Sherlock Holmes. Eventually, you’ll move on to books about economics, psychology, and history. Nowadays, you’re not limited to paper books; e-books are also available. With a computer or smartphone, you can read anytime, anywhere.
At first, you may just read books you like, but gradually, you’ll start researching the authors, reading books on the same topic, and eventually expanding to the same field. You might even try genres you’ve never read before.
Finally, I’ll write about the benefits of reading. Unlike phones or computers, when you’re reading a book, you can focus without distractions. Additionally, for those with weak eyesight, reading is a suitable choice. Reading in large font is easier, and it doesn’t strain your eyes like looking at a screen for hours.
Moreover, reading allows you to analyze the author’s problems and apply them in life. Developing the foundation for problem-solving and analysis can turn difficult situations or unexpected events into new discoveries. Reading becomes a pleasure, reduces stress, boosts confidence, and improves social interactions. For children, books can significantly influence emotional education, literature, and life education.
