A person who does not read books is a soul who has no work. Essay on the topic “Are you a reader? Books give you a deeper view of the world

1. They tend to be more sophisticated/sophisticated.

Reading allows people to delve into opinions and realities that differ from their own. This helps them refine their point of view. Reading also helps develop intelligence, wisdom, composure and patience. Also, do not forget that people who read with pleasure can, like no other, fully enjoy such little things as good lighting, comfortable furniture and delicious tea.

2. They are more intelligent

When you read a lot, you learn a lot. If a person reads fantasy where we are talking about elves and dragons, this does not mean that it is stupid reading. Books like these can be filled with life lessons. You can find a lot of people reading fantasy. And they lexicon better than those who read various magazines or do not read at all. They understand clues better and learn better new information. They are also more pleasant to communicate with. And this is very important in a relationship. I do not want to say that a reading person is a universal soldier, ready for anything. But from such people you will be much less likely to hear the phrase “I don’t know.”

3. They are creative

Creativity is important in relationships. After a couple of years of relationship, it is very difficult to surprise your soulmate. When a person reads a lot, he absorbs the creativity of authors like a sponge. All of these books present ideas that readers may not have known about. And if you want a truly long-term relationship, then reading people are more suitable for this. After all, they will find a way to maintain novelty in the relationship and make it interesting. They will simply use ideas they once read about.

4. They are still children at heart

And such people understand children better, and they know how to deal with them. After all, good relationships sooner or later lead to children. And let's be honest, these are the kind of people who can teach our children while they are growing up. Such people know many fairy tales and can even come up with them themselves. They will ensure that children are truly engrossed in the story.

5. He will be a more passionate lover.

Have you ever read a tastefully described sex scene in a novel? They are very visual, but not vulgar. In the worlds that are described in books, people are very passionate. And, as we said, people who read will learn a lot. This means that a book can teach you how to be passionate.

6. They are more patient

Reading books takes enough a large number of time. AND busy people it takes weeks to read a book to the end. Some people can devour a couple of hundred pages in just a few hours. In both cases, a lot of patience is required. And patience is a skill that takes years to hone. And the people reading are really honing it long time. These people will be patient enough to solve relationship problems.

7. They will teach you a lot

As we have repeatedly stated, people who read know a lot. They have read many pages, and these pages contain various lessons. After all, not all the books they read are fantasy, drama or romance. Such people love not only to read. They also love to study. They like it. This means they can teach you a lot too. Life, relationships, technology, etc. Are there really topics that are completely incomprehensible to a truly well-read person? If there is, he can read about it.

8. You are guaranteed personal time

Readers love to read. This sounds a little stupid, but read to the end. As we read, we imagine the landscapes, people, and scenes that are described in the book. And when we are taken away from reading, everything breaks down. And we have to start over. When a person reads, he does not like to be disturbed. This means that you have time for yourself. You can sleep, take a bath, go shopping or do what you like.

9. They really know what romance is.

They read books containing elements of romance. Even if it is a fantasy novel written specifically for young boys or men, there will be romance in it. The heroes and heroines of his books experience the worst moments in life. They experienced battles and betrayals, separation and despair. But, despite everything, they stay together, overcoming all difficulties. And if you meet a person reading, be sure that he knows everything about romance. This means that your life will soon be filled with this very romance.

10. They know what it means to care.

Books are made of paper. And paper is a very fragile thing. It can be destroyed by fire, water, and simply time. So rest assured that the people reading know how to take care of their things. After all, they will want to reread their books again and again. You can rest assured that such people will take care not only of their own things, but also of yours. And they will treat you with care. Of course you are not a thing! It’s just that these people take care of everything that is really dear to them.

In general, people who read are better than many others. But be careful! Not every person reading is like the one described in my article.

Reviews about the book:

Well... I bought this excellent collection from 1983, of fantastic quality, on excellent paper, with beautiful illustrations, the other day for 10 rubles at the Olympic Fair. In the same “heap” for the same 10 rubles there were quite a few good publications, incl. classical literature. The seller generally seemed to have no idea who she had laying around there and what the selection criteria were. But the deepest impression on me was that 50% of second-hand book sellers to whom I asked with the question “do you have Celine”, scratching their turnips, answered that “Celine is probably not there, but there is Selinger. Will you take it?” Indeed, what is the difference in essence... The surnames are almost the same root :)

In general, people who read are better than many others. But be careful! Not every person reading is like the one described in my article.

Of course, everyone knows the letters. And everyone reads the literature necessary for study and work, various instructions, TV programs or newspapers. Does the younger generation remember the classics? Recently, on Ordzhonikidze Square, young librarians from the Central City Hospital named after. V. G. Belinsky conducted an experiment - they conducted a survey of townspeople on the topic of plots of immortal works. Many, it must be said, got into trouble even on the easiest questions. Deputy Director of the V. G. Belinsky Library Galina Ivanova is sure: without classical literature, humanity is on the road to a loss of morality. This and not only our conversation.

CLASSICS - A WAY TO REMAIN HUMAN

– Unfortunately, young people today are not reading classical literature...

– This is so, this is evidenced by the results of our experiment. The survey demonstrated the blatant illiteracy and ignorance of modern youth and provided some food for thought. If a person graduates from school and enters a university, he must have certain knowledge in all areas, because not only the quality of work, but also the people subordinate to him will depend on his horizons. I remember the bravado of one of our officials who said: “I haven’t read anything, but I started successful person. I am a politician."

- Well, here... Many people think so. They say, why classical literature? to modern man?

– I can answer with the words of Dostoevsky: “Man is a mystery. I am engaged in this mystery because I want to be a man.” In order to remain human, to be moral, to be able to sympathize, it is necessary to read classical literature. After all, all the postulates of the Bible are laid down in the classics and unfold through artistic images. Today, many of those on whom something depends (including officials) say: “You can’t feed everyone,” “You can’t give everyone shelter,” “It’s your problem.” So if you were elected by the people or you were appointed specifically to solve problems, then the problems of the people are your problems, no one will solve them except you. Therefore, I believe the reasons for such immorality are that at one time these people did not bother their souls, their hearts with moral suffering, which are contained in many classical works. The poet Nikolai Zabolotsky wrote that “the soul must work.” But it is not history, social studies or philosophy that can make the soul work. Only classical literature can create moral work for the soul. For example, I consider The Brothers Karamazov a very relevant work. Namely, the idea expressed in it that if there is no God, then everything is allowed: a politician is allowed to destroy a people, an entrepreneur is allowed to drain some area to increase profits. Or another example. One guy was withdrawing money from an ATM. An elderly woman stood behind him. After taking the money, this guy turned around and punched this woman in the face. Can this guy be called a human? Classic literature a person needs in order for him to remain human.

“NOT A DAY WITHOUT A LINE”

– Morality is formed from childhood. How to teach a child to read?

– Of course, from an early age. But under no circumstances should you be forced to read. After all, when such a child grows up, he will be disgusted by everything that was associated with violence in his childhood. Every child is an imitator of his parents. If adults want their child to make reading a habit, they need to set an example for him - to read himself. Looking at how mom and dad read, the child will pick up the book himself.

– In our life, rich in various events, we need to form the habit of “Not a day without a line,” as Olesha said. But he said this about writers, and we will talk about readers. Whatever state you arrive in, whatever impression you are under, you need to make it a rule to read at least a few pages a day. In my vocabulary there is the concept of “bed book”. This is the book that lies in my bed next to my pillow. I read it every day before going to bed. It happens that a person comes home tired, has dinner and goes to bed. It would seem that there is no time for reading at all. That's why you need some kind of book to read before bed. A few lines every night will become a habit, and the person, albeit little by little, will begin to read regularly.

POETRY IS FOR THE SELECTED

– What do you think is the benefit of poetry?

– I believe that poetry is the destiny of the chosen few. If everyone can read literary prose, even if not everyone understands it, then poetry is for people of fine spiritual organization, literary gifted readers.

How do you understand that you are able to understand and feel poetry? You think in poetry, in lines from poetic works that you read without even remembering where they came from.

Poetry is a form of thinking, poeticized existence. All the world you impart poetry. Besides, if you love poetry, you don’t need to memorize it; some fragments that have sunk into your soul will remain in your memory, because this is the form of your thinking. Fragments of lines come on their own while washing dishes, when you walk down the street, look out the window...

People who don't understand poetry shouldn't be judged. It's the same as not having an ear for music. Such people are not made for poetry.

“BOOK SWALLOWERS” AND TRUE CONFIDENTS

- I think yes. For example, there are such people - “book swallowers”. They “swallow” many books, but then they cannot say anything. Can we call this a reading talent? I think the talent of reading is when you extract something from a book for yourself, while noticing the artistic features of the work: language, compositional structure, features of images. For example, I love the good, rich, folk language of Sholokhov, Shukshin, Rasputin.

In general, librarians, as a rule, notice talented, interesting readers. Sometimes we give a book that the reader read two years ago. Then he comes and says: “I started reading and I feel that this is something familiar. Only later did I remember that I had read this book.” This cannot happen with a talented reader. He clearly knows what he read and clearly remembers the state that possessed him while reading.

– What is your favorite book?

– I think that a true connoisseur of literature does not have one favorite author or favorite book throughout his life. It’s just that at a certain point in life, one writer or one work dominates.

I can tell you which books I would never read - Juliette Benzoni and her never-ending saga like Santa Barbara. I feel sorry for my life for such reading. It will not bring me any knowledge about the human soul. I don’t read fantasy, but not because it’s a bad genre (by the way, it’s very popular, especially among young people), but because it’s not my thing. In general, I believe that a talented reader is not omnivorous; he has his own taste preferences.

– What would you like to say as a conclusion to our reflection on reading?

– One person, two, a hundred, even a thousand could live without a book, but all of humanity cannot live without books. IN good books there is a colossal charge of morality, and without morality we will cease to be human. No wonder the ancients said that homo sapiens is homo legens (a reasonable person is a reading person).
