should be enjoyable.,Of course,there are many books that we all have to read,either to pass examinations or to acquire information,from which it is impossible to,extract,enjoyment,.We are reading them for instruction,and the best we can hope is that our need for it will,enable us to get through them without tedium,.,Such books we read with,resignation,rather than with,alacrityBut that is not the sort of reading I have in mind.,Detailed Reading,DR-p1b-text,The books I shall mention in due course will help you neither to get a degree nor to earn your living.They will not teach you to sail a boat or get a stalled motor to run,but they will help you to live more fully.,That,however,they cannot do unless you enjoy reading them,.,Detailed Reading,DR-p2a-text,2.The“you”I address is the adult whose avocations give him certain leisure and who would like to read the books which can without loss be left unread.I do not address the bookworm.He can find his own way.,I wish to deal only with the masterpieces which the,consensus,of opinion for a long time has accepted as,supreme,.We are all supposed to have read them;it is a pity that so few of us have.But there are masterpieces which are acknowledged to be such by all the best critics and,to which the historians of literature devote considerable space,yet which no ordinary person can now read with enjoyment.,Detailed Reading,DR-p2b-text,They are important to the students,but changing times and changing tastes have,robbed,them of their savour and it is hard to read them now without an effort of will,.Let me give one instance:I have read George Eliots,Adam Bede,but I cannot,put my hand on my heart,and say that was with pleasure.I read it from a sense of duty;I finished it with a sigh of relief.,Detailed Reading,DR-p3a-text,3.,Now of such books as this I mean to say nothing,.Every man is his own best critic.,Whatever the learned say about a book,however,unanimous,they are in their praise of it,unless it interests you,it is no business of yours,.,Dont forget that critics often make mistakes the history of criticism is full of the,blunders,the most eminent of them have made,and you who read are the final judge of the value to you of the book you are reading,.This,of course,applies to the books I am going to recommend to your attention.,Detailed Reading,DR-p3b-text,We are none of us exactly like everyone else,only rather like,and it would be unreasonable to suppose that the books that have meant a great deal to me should be precisely those that will mean a great deal to you.But they are books that I feel the richer for having read,and I think I should not be quite the man I am if I had not read them.And so I beg of you,if any of you who read these pages are tempted to read the books I suggest and cannot get on with them,just put them down;,they will be of no service to you,if you do not enjoy them.,Detailed Reading,DR-p3c-text,No one is under an obligation to read poetry or fiction or the,miscellaneous literature,which is classed as,belles-lettres,.(I wish I knew the English term for this,but I dont think there is one.)He must read them for pleasure,and who can claim that what pleases one man must necessarily please another?,Detailed Reading,DR-p4a-text,4.But let no one think that pleasure is immoral.Pleasure in itself is a great good,all pleasure,but its consequences may be such that the sensible person eschews certain varieties of it,.Nor need pleasure be gross and sensual.,They are wise in their generation who have discovered that intellectual pleasure is the most satisfying and the most enduring,.It is well to acquire the habit of reading.To acquire the habit of reading is to construct for yourself a refuge from almost all the miseries of life.,Detailed Reading,DR-p4b-text,Almost all,I say,for,I would not go so far as to pretend that to read a book will assuage the,pangs,of hunger or,still,the pain of,unrequited,love,;but half a dozen good detective stories and a hot-water bottle will enable anyone,to snap his fingers at the worst cold in the head,.But who is going to acquire the habit of reading for readings sake,if he is bidden to read books that bore him?,Detailed Reading,DR-p5a-text,5.,It is more convenient to take the books of which I am now going to speak in chronological order,but I can see no reason why,if you make up your mind to read them,you should do so in that order.I think you would be much better advised to read them according to your fancy;nor do I see even why you should read them one by one.For my own part,I find it more agreeable to read four or five books,together.After all,you arent in the same mood on one day as on another,nor have you the same eagerness to read a certain book at all,hours of the day.,Detailed Reading,DR-p5b-text,We must suit ourselves in these matters,and I have naturally,adopted the plan that best suits me.In the morning before I start work I read for a while a book,either of science or philosophy,that requires a fresh and attentive brain.,It sets me off for the day,.,Later on,when my work is done and I feel at ease,but not,inclined,for mental exercise of a strenuous character,I read history,essays,criticism or biography;and in the evening I read a novel,.,Detailed Reading,DR-p5c-text,Besides these,I keep on hand a volume of poetry in case I feel in the mood for that,and by my bedside I have,one of those books,too rarely to be found,alas,which you can dip into at any place,and stop reading with equanimity at the end of any paragraph.,Detailed Reading,DR-p6a-text,6.Upon looking back on what I have written,I notice that I have more than once suggested to you that you would be wise now and then to skip.I think all the books I have mentioned are important enough to be read thoroughly,but even they are more enjoyable if you,exercise your right to skip,.Change of taste has rendered certain parts of even great works tedious.We no longer want to,be bothered with the moral dissertations,of which the eighteenth century was so fond,nor with the lengthy descriptions of scenery which were favoured in the nineteenth.,Detailed Reading,DR-p6b-text,When the novel became realistic,authors fell in love with detail for its own sake,and it took them a long time to discover that detail is interesting only if it is relevant.To know how to skip is to know how to read with profit and pleasure,but how you are to learn it I cannot tell you,for it is a trick I have never acquired.I am a bad skipper;I am afraid of missing something that may be of value to me,and so will read pages that only weary me;,Detailed Reading,DR-p6c-text,when once I begin to skip,I cannot stop,and end the book dissatisfied with myself because I am aware I have not done it justice,and then I am apt to think that I might just as well never have read it at all.,Detailed Reading,DR:p1 Analysis,Paragraph 1 Analysis,In this paragraph,the author defines the scope of this passage:his discussion would exclude those books that bring tedium and boredom,since the main topic is clearly stated in the beginning:“.reading should be enjoyable.”,Detailed Reading,DR:p2 Analysis,Paragraphs 2 Analysis,After defining the scope of his discussion,the author goes on to specify the readers who are eligible to read the books in his mind.Then he moves on to the first topic the selection of books for reading.In this paragraph the author points out a problem with some masterpieces,that is,“.changing times and changing tastes have robbed them of their savour.”and it is no longer enjoyable for us to read them today.,Detailed Reading,DR:p3 Analysis,Paragraphs 3 Analysis,With his comments on masterpieces,the author naturally touches on the criterion of book selection in this paragraph.The author insists that the reader is the final judge of what books seem good to him/her,because the same books may have different meanings for different people.This view is strengthened by the rhetorical question at the end of this paragraph,“.who can claim that what pleases one man must necessarily please another?”,Detailed Reading,DR:p4 Analysis,Paragraphs 4 Analysis,In this paragraph,the author expounds on the relationship between intellectual pleasure and the habit of reading.He believes that“intellectual pleasure is the most satisfying and the most enduring”and the acquisition of the habit of reading must be based on pleasurable reading.,Detailed Reading,DR:p5 Analysis,Paragraphs 5 Analysis,In this paragraph the author continues his discussion on the habit of reading.According to him,this habit varies from person to person and should be tailored to the readers own fancy.,Detailed Reading,DR:p6 Analysis,Paragraphs 6 Analysis,This paragraph is devoted to the discussion of an important reading skill skipping.This is the trick which the author himself has never acquired.,Detailed Reading,DR-Question-p1,Paragraph 1:Question,What kind of books would be excluded from the authors discussion?,Detailed Reading,Excluded from the authors discussion are those books which offer instructions to fulfill utilitarian purposes such as getting a degree or earning a living.,DR-Question-p2-1,Paragraph 2:Questions,1.Who,are the eligible readers of the books in the authors mind?,Detailed Reading,According to the author,they are adults who have leisure time to read and would like to read the books.,DR-Question-p2-2,Paragraph 2:Questions,2.,What is the authors opinion about masterpieces,？,Detailed Reading,The author is very cautious on the matter.On the one hand,he believes that those acknowledged masterpieces are important to students.On the other hand,he realizes that all masterpieces do not necessarily provide enjoyable reading,because changing times and changing tastes have robbed them of their savour.Reading these masterpieces demands an effort of will,which has been proved by the authors own experience,.,DR-Question-p3,Paragraph 3:Question,What does the author say about the critics comments on a book and his own recommended books?,Detailed Reading,According to the author,the reader should not be affected by critics comments on books.In his opinion,the reader should not read a book unless the book itself interests him/her.As to his own recommended books,the author says that they will be of no service to the reader if he/she does not enjoy them.Both cases conform to the thematic statement at the beginning of the essay.,DR-Question-p4,Paragraph 4:Question,What,according to the author,is the benefit the habit of reading could bring about?,Detailed Reading,The habit of reading,according to the author,provides the reader with a refuge from most miseries in life.,DR-Question-p5,Paragraph 5:Question,What does the author mean when he says that“We must suit ourselves in these matters.”?,Detailed Reading,The author means that we should follow our mood in these matters since ones mood and eagerness may not be the same on one day as on another,or at all hours of the day.,DR-Question-p6-1,Paragraph 6:Questions,1.,Why,according to the author,is it important to skip while reading?,Detailed Reading,Although all the books the author recommends are very important,reading,will be more profitable and enjoyable when one learns how to skip,because changing tastes have rendered certain parts of even great works tedious.,DR-Question-p6-2,Paragraph 6:Question,2.,What is the authors experience of skipping in reading?,Detailed Reading,The author himself has not yet acquired the trick of skipping.Once he begins to skip,he cannot st
