READING HABIT
To
acquire the habit of reading is to construct for yourself a refuge
from almost all the miseries of life.. A good book is considered
panacea for mental agony one suffers during day-to-day life.
With
the technological advancements in the satellite era, reading habit is
said to have taken a beating, or it seems. But that is not the case
as reading had never been a habit of common people. What seems to
have changed over the years is the taste of youngsters who are more
inclined to light readings with the plot they identify themselves
with than the one loaded with philosophical anecdotes. Again, it
depends on their taste. Some
researchers
reached to a few youngsters to feel their pulse on the issue and
found that they read every kind of authors, from Charles
Dickens to Paulo Coelho.
Kids
and young adults seem to be getting inclined to books once again in
search of best friends. While a whole generation considers itself to
be of 'Harry Potter' (HP) generation and would feel offended if you
did not know who 'The Dark Lord' is (for those who actually don't
know, he's the baddie in HP series and Harry's biggest adversary),
popularity-wise it has a close contest with 'The Twilight Saga', as
girls swoon over vampires (Edward Cullen) and werewolves (Jacob
Black).
Do
you like reading ? Why or why not ?
What
you were reading when you were younger, and what do you read as a
students ?

Well, yes I like reading. As it is said in the presentation it's a good way to escape from the routine. But it is also a good way to widen horizons and bring knowledge about people and world. I find reading pretty inspiring and enriching. When I was young I loved reading adventure books with some mysterious characters and plots. Now I'm more into realistic literature, telling the stories about how it realy is in some other parts of the world. Still, I love the element of fantasy and imagination to be involved.
ReplyDeleteI love reading so much. I can not imagine my life without it. I helps me for my bad mood and move into a different world. I think that reading can makes us more creative and clever. Of course there are a lot of worse books , but it does not matter, because I know a lot of good books.
ReplyDeleteI used to read "Harry Potter" books, and "The Chronicles of Narnia". Now I prefer "Lord of the ring" and over J.R.R.Tolkien's books. I am reading books about mithology, criminals, psychological, fantasy , historical and more.
I like reading too :) For me is the best relax! I love when I can move to another world and live heros life. I can imagine people, places, emotions, feeling. It's incredible that you can go through with amazing feelings. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI read various books but I don't like fantasy. I don't know why but I like real characters in books, real people. I don't like dragons, creatures and others.
Reading takes a lot of time but if I have time, I will read non stop :) Now I'm going to learn to exam session, but I have few books which I want to read after exams :) I can't wait!
Oh yeah, I like reading!:-) I think that reading is probably one of the most beneficial and feasible activities that a man can do. Firstly book furnishes relaxation to our mind and soul. What is more reading is relaxing, and it is also a way for children to reach out to the world. It is no secret that reading increases children’s vocabulary and spelling more than talking or direct teaching. Reading books require readers to think and imagine about different details in the book such as characters and plot.Everyone knows that a person who reads will be successful and a person who doesn’t will either not do so well than others or eventually fail in life.
ReplyDeleteI like reading romance novel and criminals. But to be honest I like every kind of books.
I’m a reader and I always have a book in my hand. When I was younger, I used to enjoy more comics and video games than novels. I like a lot of american psychological crime (Richard Stark and Jim Thompson), everything by Michel Houellebecq, B.E. Ellis, Kurt Vonnegutt, most of Stanislaw Lem, H. P. Lovecraft, PKD, JG Ballard. Right now I'm reading mostly books about philosophy of mind and cognitive science, but there's allway a room for contemporary fiction.
ReplyDeleteYes, I like reading, but not so much. Once I read a lot of books especially during holidays. They were various books- for teenager, adventure books, reading. I didn't read Harry Poter like everybody my colleagues. Than I don't know what happenend, but after matura exams and examination sessions I have aversed to books. Maybe I read all time and I must rest. Now I prefere to watch movies. I read books on my studies, but I don't do it with big pleasure. I would like to read more. Really, but I can't.
ReplyDeleteI like reading, because it let me follow my hobbies and deepen my knowledge about the world or about topics, which are interesting for me. It also let me be up to date. I find it as wat of relax time. When I was a child and before 15, I read simply books for girls, set books and fantasy books. Later and now - e-books for classes and sometimes something connected with my interests.
ReplyDeleteI love reading books. Every book shows you her own story, take you to her own world, and make you able to forget about sadness and boredom. When I was younger (about 10-12 years old) I love Niziurski’s books, after I discover fantasy. It was love at first sight and last up to present. At middle school I was reading Harry Potter and Sapkowski. Since high school my favorite writer has been Terry Pratchett.
ReplyDeleteI love reading, but now I don't read as many as I used to. When I was younger my mom praised me to others that I am reading so fast, and so many. I used to read "the six bullerby children", later I felt in love with " A Series of Unfortunate Events" it's such a great story, I think that I have to read it again. and now I usually read books which are linked with my field of studies but I love psychological books and every book written by polish writer Manuela Gretkowska.
ReplyDeleteYes, I like reading. It gives me a lot of pleasure. But not reading everything I must read many books for my studies and I have not much time to read books I like. I love reading because it is the mind developing activity.
ReplyDeleteWhen I were a child I was reading "Narnia" and "Kajtuś czarodziej". Now I prefer a fact literature and some contemporary literature.
I love reading. I think I like reading because it exercises my imagination. And maybe that's also the reason why I don't read realistic novels very much. I like reading about things that don't really exist, of stories that can't possibly happen. When I was a child I read "The Children from Bullerbyn village". I read it many times and now I also think it is really good book for every person.

ReplyDeleteDo you like reading ? Why or why not ?
I like very much reading, because it passionate me when I can imagine lots of different places, times, people. Of course when I read fabular books, but I like reading things connected with my field of study and interests, because I feel that thanks to them my knowledge is higher and higher. yeah this is nice feelig. I usually read magiznes connected with my field of study, scientific work etc., but when I was younger, now I try too, read a lot of thrillers or sensational books written by ,for example, Ken Follett, John Grisham, Stephen King, etc.
Yes, I like reading, actulally it's one of my favorites ways of spending free time. I read everything I can everywhere I can. I think that russian literature is one of the best of the world so it is something that I'm reading now and I have never read it as a child. When I was younger I enjoyed a lot fantasy books like Harry Potter or the Witcher. I like the influence the books have on your imagination and your ability to speak properly and I think it is really important to read at least 100 pages every day.
ReplyDeleteI'm totally crazy about magazines, so I mainly read a lot of newspapers. But I also love books. When I was younger, I used to read fantasy books, such as Harry Potter. I was staying in the room for the whole day and parents just brought me food. Unfortunately, I don't have much free time to do the same things now, but I really can't wait the end of exams. I have a long list of books to read during the holidays. It start with Polsh books from the Interwar. That's one of my favourite momentss in history.
ReplyDeleteI love reading books. It makes me forget about all the problems after exhausting week. Unfortunately, sometimes I am too tired to even open a book and when I have time I just go to sleep. My studies make it very difficult for me to do things I like. Reading in public transport is a way to reconcile reading and my tight schedule.
ReplyDeleteLast week I was on Warsaw Book Fair on the National Stadium. It was a great opportunity to buy some books in discount prices, meet some authors and see what's new in the books world. There were many exhibitors and there was no time to lose. It's a great event for bookworms, I want to go there next year again.
When I was youger I liked Six Bullerby Children, Winnie the Pooh and Little Nicholas series. Now I sentimentalise the Nicholas series and I still love that sense of humour. I do not have one particular favourite kind of books but majority of the books I read is related to East Asia in some ways. Often I read things that my friend recommend me - they have really good taste and I was never disappointed with their choices. Recently, I am reading Phillip K. Dick's 'The Counter-Clock World' and 'The Cambridge History of Japan'. Both of them are really good and if it weren't for the exams, I would finish them as soon as possible.
Some say that books are part of our life, thanks to worlds contained in them. For me a book reading is very good way to relax. Before go to sleep I try to read a few pages, because thanks to it I feel relaxed. What is more, for me books is a good travel companion too, because when I read during the travel, the way can be easier and more pleasure.
ReplyDeleteI love to read. Unfortunately, not always have the time. I frequently read newspapers and books related to my studies. Books that I choose to have a very diverse topics. From the historical to romances. It's very bad that people are reading less and less. In my youth I read a book for young people. nothing special
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid I read the most popular series of that time - Harry Potter, but adventure books have never been my favourite. Than my mom gave me The Princess Diaries and I fell in love with girly books often written by american authors. Next step at age 13 was Gossip Girl which remains my favourite saga of all time. No matter what I read, I always put myself as a main character and when I finish a book I don't know what to do with myself, I must find another book.
