Writing has little to do with whether someone buys books.
Reading is a source of information, a bridge to communicate with the outside world, and a need for oneself, just like eating every day. Reading has nothing to do with writing. Don't people who are not writers have to study? Writers who used to like literature, such as Su Tong and Tie Ning, recently began to pay attention to sociological works or economic reading materials. My favorite works are Homer's epic, Faust, Journey to the West and so on. I read them extensively. I have time to study, of course, I have less time recently. Between online reading and book reading, online reading takes more time. The relationship between reading and writing should be subtle, with the essence of others as the support or theoretical basis of the story. The decline in the reading rate of books does not affect my creation at all. My writing has little to do with whether anyone buys my book. No one will buy my book. I have a strong desire to express myself.

How boring it is for the whole people to read the books on the leaderboard.
Reading varies from person to person. Some talented authors don't need to read any books. Maybe reading too much is a kind of interference to him/her. I think reading is very important, because I need books to broaden my horizons and kill time. Because of curiosity and story-reading mentality, I want to immerse myself in the atmosphere created by a book. I like writers who give full play to their personalities, such as Hemingway, Duras and Sartre, and I like Lu Xun very much, but that doesn't mean I appreciate every one of their works. I prefer to watch works that I can't experience in real life, such as Bullet Marks. My reading types tend to be military, science fiction and martial arts. The reading time every day is uncertain, about two hours. Now I spend more time reading online, mainly because of convenience. Some books are not around, so I have to read them online. Reading will definitely affect my writing, so I basically don't read books written by Chinese mainland writers now. Now everyone is worried about the decline in reading rate. Now everyone is thinking about the market. Can the reading rate of books not drop? How boring it is for the whole people to read the books on the leaderboard. There are too many things that affect my creative enthusiasm, and this is just one of the small reasons.

The decline in the reading rate of books is a very worrying thing.
Reading can make writers experience a different life, make friends with other writers, see their own shortcomings in creation, and learn from each other's strengths. Reading is because you know the loneliness of creation and enjoy the dual identity of writer and reader, so you can experience loneliness incisively and vividly. My favorite writer is Duras, who cruelly drew thousands of ditches and valleys on her face with words. My favorite works are Lover, Ding Zhuang's Dream and The Little Prince. I tend to read works with historical depth and profound descriptions of morality and ethics. I spend about two hours reading every day. Between online reading and paper reading, I like paper reading, and I can't accept the fast-food reading mode that always faces the flashing computer screen. Reading is a spiritual feast that needs to calm down, find a carrier, taste ink and touch the texture of paper. I started writing because I read a lot when I was studying, and even because the reading materials around me couldn't satisfy my thirst for life taste, so I took a pen to record my feelings about life. Reading can let a writer see his narrow spiritual level in his creation. The decline in the reading rate of books is a very worrying thing. Under the impact of network reading and multimedia culture, paper reading has become a high and low issue. For thousands of years, China's fine reading tradition has gradually failed in the impetuous society, which makes people feel sad. We have accelerated the pace of life because of the progress of science and technology, but lost the true meaning of life in our daily rush. Persisting in creation means firmly believing that one day, everyone will pick up books again and understand life through reading.

There are fewer and fewer people studying, which is terrible.
Reading started from me, mainly to pass the time, because I have no career and no ideal. As a writer, reading is also a need to absorb information, a lot of knowledge and even common sense. I don't necessarily know that many stories can't be read by myself and many problems can't be understood, so I need assistance. I don't think reading is a sentiment, as long as it is true, kind and always grateful, not too noble. I have always liked Yu Hua before my brother and Su Tong. Yu Hua's calm, warm and amazing details. Su Tong, who knows a lot about women, has beautiful and sentimental novels. The most impressive works are Hungry Daughter, Miguel Street and Xu Sanguan Selling Blood. I don't read many books, but I always think foreign ones are better. I like short stories or short stories, but I'm afraid of big stories. The books I read are very single. I spend a lot of time reading books every day, or I read everything all day, mainly reading some gossip magazines or editing newspapers. I hardly read anything online, except news anecdotes, which are all swept away. I suspect that many people have the same habits as me. I think it is difficult to have excellent works worth reading online. The first is eye fatigue and skin allergy. Online fonts and typography are faked, which makes many things look good, but they look really bad, even bad. And paper reading is a matter of reading, good is good, bad is bad. How can we separate reading from writing? They are very close. Even if we don't write, we should read. Reading will make your writing more comfortable, bring you inspiration and adjust your mentality. It seems that fewer and fewer people are willing to read books now. I don't know what everyone is busy with. It's terrible. Sometimes when I look at what I have published, I worry whether I write these things for self-expression or other reasons, whether they are distributed to become garbage or to meet one or two sincere readers.
