Is reading under threat? No, says Alan Jacobs--but people do need help iand encouragemnt to enjoy it to the full. Jacobs's experience as a lecturer and many-time author suggests that many readers lack confidence; they wonder whether they are reading well, with proper focus and attentiveness, with due discretion and discernment. Many have absorbed the puritanical message that reading is, first and foremost, good for you--the intellectual equivalent of eating your Brussels sprouts. For such people, indeed for all readers, Jacobs offers some simple, powerful, and much needed advice: read at whim, read what gives you delight, and do so without shame, whether it be Stephen King or the King James Version of the Bible. He offers an insightful, accessible, and playfully irreverent guide for aspiring readers. Each chapter focuses on one aspect of approaching literary fiction, poetry, or nonfiction, and the book explores everything from the invention of silent reading, reading responsively, rereading, and reading on electronic devices. Invitingly written, with equal measures of wit and erudition, The Pleasures of Reading in an Age of Distraction will appeal to all readers, whether they be novices looking for direction or old hands seeking to recapture the pleasures of reading they first experienced as children.

评分1 “找回读书的乐趣” 我经常会看一些关于读书的书,读这一类书有一个好处,就是让你知道这世上原来还是有那么一些人在读书。如果你是一个有读书习惯的人,这还挺让人安慰的。毕竟读书在今天是一个有点反社会的事。 读这类书还有一个好处,就是拓展关于书的知识。你可以学到一...
评分有句歌词是这样唱的:“地球上,两个人,能相遇不容易。”说的是在几十亿人口中,有一个人,能和我们在生命中有所交集,是非常珍贵的缘分。 想一想,其实读书也是如此,全世界出版了无以计数的书籍,而能与我们相遇,捧在手中阅读的,顶多也就几百本或几千本书,所以,我们和书...
批评布鲁姆有精英主义很对,慢速与重读也不错。不过对艾德勒和范多伦两人的批评,我只能说是瞎操心。不把阅读当做愉悦身心的人恐怕只有学术界的职业读者了,不读书的人从来都不读书。
评分A book by an English professor, a change of pace from the more serious stuff I am reading. 读后觉得比预期要好。有共鸣。很可爱的一本小书。一个爱书人写给别的爱书人看的。
