I sent a list of books the other day, and suddenly remembered that those books were good, but they were not very interesting and difficult to read. You may encounter the following problems in the process of reading. Now let's talk about them. 1. What should I do if I forget after reading a paragraph? It is very important to re-recognize that we read extracurricular books not for study, but for entertainment and relaxation, and learning something is only a side benefit. What should I do if I forget after reading a paragraph? When watching TV series, did you ask yourself to write down the plot of each paragraph? It's not necessary. I hope you know what just happened. When you need it, you will naturally think of it. If you really forget, go back and have a look. Similarly, when reading, just read on and you will know what is going on. Since childhood, many unqualified teachers and parents who have no reading habits have instilled too many wrong ideas into us, forcibly linking reading with memory and testing you on everything. It's so boring. Reading seems as difficult and troublesome as watching TV series. Relax and read, something will always come to mind. So what if I forget to read? Forget it, forget it! 2. What should I do if I think the book is boring? There is a threshold for reading. In the last paragraph, friends should still have some questions. For example, I didn't understand the last sentence when I was reading, and the next sentence came again. I can't establish continuous thinking at all. I am tired of reading it. What should I do? So now I want to talk about a problem, that is, there is a threshold for reading. 1. The threshold of our own talent: Not everyone is good at reading, some are good at listening to sounds, and some are good at watching videos. We are easily distracted by things that we are not good at. When I was a child, I lacked this ability, and I was bored when I saw a lot of words, but it can be cultivated in the later stage. How to cultivate? First, don't hate it, don't force yourself to study, and don't destroy your hazy affection for reading. Second, start with simple books that interest you (I'll give you a primary reading list below), and don't start with particularly classic and difficult books, such as A Dream of Red Mansions. 2. the threshold of one's own state: reading is what I think needs the most energy. It's different to read the same book when you are good and poor. So don't read when you are hungry, when you are tired, when you are distracted, when you don't want to read, and so on. On the whole, I still want not to spoil my interest in reading. 3. The threshold of self-knowledge: This is the biggest threshold. Some books are impossible for you to understand without relevant knowledge accumulation. It's not the fault of the book, and it's not your fault. When I am reading psychiatry, I am often distracted. If I still don't want to touch it, I don't have to force it. 3. Do I have to read it from beginning to end? No need. Because the above three thresholds are difficult to cross at the moment, you should put down a book you don't like and hold a book that you feel uncomfortable. If you let go, it won't affect your curiosity and freshness. Maybe you can pick it up and read it again later, but if you don't understand it, you will have a bad impression on it after reading it, and it will be difficult for you to touch it again in the future. Isn't it a pity to read a good book if you read it wrong? 4. What should I pay attention to when reading translated foreign works? Translators are very important! Sometimes a classic works, you find it difficult to read, others find it interesting, maybe because the translators are different. Here, Walden Lake serves as a model. In the same sentence, let's look at the differences between the two: Xu Chi's version of Where I Live, Why I Born, and Nakazawa Tomohide's version of Where I Live, Why I Born; As an old book said, due to a seemingly inevitable fate, they were hired to store wealth, which would be corroded by insects and rust and broken into houses by thieves. (P 109) "Xu Yi:" A specious fate, commonly known as' necessity', dominates people, and their accumulated wealth is corroded by moths and rust molds, attracting thieves to get rid of it. " (P3). Zhong Ze: "People are enslaved by a seemingly predestined fate, which is usually called" necessity ",so they gather wealth, let ants bite, let dust erode, and let thieves break in, just like an ancient book." (P4) I don't think much of anything except that it is not beautiful enough. They often don't know what they are talking about for a long time and look tired. I prefer Nakazawa's version. At the same time, I looked at the reading score of Douban. This version is 9. 1, which is really the highest evaluation. So how to choose a translator for foreign books? The best way is to go to the library, read every version, and then choose what you like. If it is not convenient to go to the library, you must search online first and choose the version with the most favorable comments. Buy a book at random and don't choose it. You may want to die after reading it. The characteristics of a primer are: short length, easy to read, individual and distinctive, which is different from those articles in Chinese textbooks that we don't know what we are talking about for a long time, and is conducive to improving our views on books.

Advanced book list: professional books in their respective fields, psychiatry, economics and psychology. Textbooks are really difficult to read. I heard that foreign textbooks are all better. I went to the library to have a look, and found that it was true. China's textbooks don't talk about people, while foreign textbooks are as simple as chatting, which can easily arouse people's interest. These are some of my experiences.
