Book

Hot 3720 views. 2015-5-25 20:11 |Individual Classification:Life| electronic, generation, internet, correct, instead


It’s an old saying “Naturally there is golden house and pretty young lady in the books.”(书中自有黄金屋,书中自有颜如玉) I am not sure whether the translation is correct. It’s no doubt that the book is a good thing. But nowadays, the electronic book becomes more and more popular in a large range of young generation. So many people prefer to read on the internet, instead of going to bookstores or libraries. E-time is very hot. I live nearby a bookstore, every time I pass by, there is less and less people go inside for reading or purchasing.  For some weekends, I spend 2 or 3 hours in the bookstore in the afternoon, I enjoy the reading. For me, it’s more comfortable staring at the books than staring at the computer screen for extra long time after work on the computer for a long time.


I like some kinds of books, such as about education at baby’s early age, how to be good parents, cooking, English learning books and so on. I bought a book < A good mother is better than a good teacher> by the end of last month, I have finished reading now and I have benefited a lot from it, it talked about something on how to build a good relationship with your kids, that's interesting.

Hmm... seems you have bought the right book and benefited from it. Sometimes you can find information in books which you can't find from other sources. Oh, they allow you to read 2 to 3 hours in the bookstore? That's nice. In my city, once I read for only one & half hours, the owner would come and tell me in a sarcastic way that this is not exactly a library.

Like it or not, the internet has really replaced books. All the information and reading is from the internet.

I talked to the newspaper vendor at the street corner near my home, he told me that he used to make 20,000 Yuan a month by selling newspapers and magazines, but now he could only make about 5,000 and is thinking of closing down. This means another trade is destroyed by computers and phones.

Yeah, it's a big bookstore, like Xinhua bookstore, the staffs in the bookstore don't care about you or how long have you been there. But there is only a few chairs, maybe 4 or 5, except that, we can sit on the stairs to read.

I still prefer read traditional books than E-books. What I read most are
philosophy, novel, poem, prose.
Books make me thinking more, knowing more, and most of all a good way for rest.

Yeah, maybe, but when you take sometime to think,  you may find that it is not harder than you think.
