Young people don't know what books to choose, so they can go directly to bookstores and libraries and browse more. No matter what subject you are interested in (even if you don't know it yourself), as long as you walk in the bookstore, you will come across books that make you feel interesting. When you think a book looks interesting, don't doubt it, just pick it up and read it. As you read book after book, you will find your reading preferences, and gradually you will know how to choose a good book that suits you.

In addition, you can choose books according to your occupation or work. For young people aged 25-29, you should read more practical books that will help improve your working ability, while for people aged 30-34, you might as well start reading more practical books that will help you lead and manage enterprises in the future. In addition, you might as well read more books on philosophy or history, that is, read more books that can help you understand the laws and components of the universe and judge the long-term laws of history.

Choosing a good book is just the beginning, and how to read it is the key. For practical books on non-literature and philosophy, I read them like this:

After choosing and getting a book, first look at the basic information such as preface and table of contents, then ask a few questions according to these basic information and the purpose of reading, and then "answer my questions with some of my existing knowledge"

Then read quickly. I usually read the whole book or some chapters at a speed of about 2000 words per minute (mastered by "elite fast reading and memory software"), thus establishing the context and knowledge structure of the book. During this period, I will find places that I am interested in, places that are important to me, or places that I don't understand, and then mark these contents simply and quickly. If necessary, these contents will be read twice and intensively.

After reading this book, answer the questions raised before reading it again "according to the content of the book". After the answer, compare the answers before reading and after reading to see how many of your answers are the same as what the author said, and what are the omissions and gaps, and then pay attention to these omissions, gaps and differences.

This way of reading is very troublesome at first glance. In fact, it saves a lot of time, and more importantly, it will improve our reading harvest, because it can exercise our reading comprehension, analysis and integration ability and thinking ability.
