Ndasamukira kudziko kawiri ndikugona kanayi kapena kasanu pazaka 15 zapitazi. Pa nthawi iliyonse, mutu ndi nthawi ya 'kuusa moyo kwakukulu' inali nthawi yosuntha 'mabuku'.
Nthaŵi ina ndinali kusungira laibulale yaing’ono m’nyumba ya banjalo pamene ndinali kudziko lina. Ndinafunsidwa ngati “ndinawerengadi” mazana a mabuku amenewa. Ndinali wotsimikiza mtima pamene ndinati, "define read"?
Izi sizinali zonyoza monga momwe zimamvekera. Kodi mwangowerenga bukhu ngati mwakhala pansi ndikuchoka pachikuto mpaka kumapeto? Ngati ndi choncho, palibe amene ndimamudziwa amawerenga kalikonse ku yunivesite. Anthu ambiri amamenya chala chachikulu, kugwedera, kutsitsa mizere ndi makutu agalu ndikuwonanso mitu.
Yunivesite idayamba chizolowezi chopeza mabuku omwe adagwiritsidwa ntchito kale pamtengo wotsikirapo mwamanyazi kotero kuti mumalipira ndalama zambiri zotumizira. Kuyang'ana mabuku ndi kununkhiza zomwe zikusoweka komanso kugulitsa malonda m'mashopu ogwiritsidwa ntchito ndi mabungwe achifundo m'dziko lonselo ndi masewera.
Nyengo yathu ndi yachidule kwambiri moti ndi ochepa amene ali ndi chipiriro chowerenga nkhani zamaphunziro kuyambira kuchikuto mpaka kuchikuto. Kungoyang'ana mozama, kugaya, ndi kupanga mfundo zongopeka ndizovuta kwambiri.
Ndinaphunzitsa ana asukulu amene amawachonderera mopanda chifundo kuti kubera mwangozi n’koopsa kwambiri m’mabuku ndi pa sayansi ya chikhalidwe cha anthu. Paintaneti komanso malo ochezera a pa Intaneti ndi odzaza ndi malingaliro okhudza malingaliro kotero kuti kubwereza kwina sikungapeweke - kukhudza lingaliro loyambirira ndikovuta kwambiri.
Kudziwa kuli paliponse, makamaka mukakhala ndi kusaka ndi Google pakona yanu. Nkosavuta kuŵerenga chidule cha mawu achidule onena za, mwachitsanzo, Moby Dick wa Herman Melville, kusiyana ndi kukhala pansi ndi kuŵerenga masamba 500 a nyimbo ya chinsomba.
Nthaŵi zambiri, nkhani zina zoipa za patebulo zimasanduka nkhani imene sindinkaidziwa, choncho ndinaiwerenga mwamsanga panthawi yopuma. Nthawi zambiri, ndi masewera, chemistry, kapena zinthu zinazake za anthu. Mulungu adalitse Wikipedia.
M'badwo uno uli wodzaza ndi akatswiri akatswiri - timadziwa pang'ono za chilichonse osati mwaukadaulo. Izo zikhoza kukhala chinthu chabwino, koma osati kuwononga kuwerenga monga ntchito ndi kuphunzira monga ndondomeko.
Makope a digito a mabuku ambiri atha kupezeka pamapulatifomu osiyanasiyana. Amapangitsa kuti kukhale kosavuta kusaka zambiri, kuwunikira, kukumbukira, komanso kukopera zolemba muzolemba ndi zolemba. Zingakutengereni moyo wonse kuti muwerenge zolemba zonse zakale, zasayansi, kapena zachikhalidwe cha pop - tsopano, mutha kuwerenga zomwe munthu wina watsimikiza ndikuzigulitsa monga momwe amaganizira.
Akatswiri azachilengedwe adzakuuzani kuti ma ebook ndi obiriwira. Okonda mabuku angakuuzeni kuti ndizothandiza kwambiri kuti muwerenge pafupi ndi dziwe - palibe masamba osokonekera pamasiku achilimwe amenewo. Oyenda adzapangitsa kuti mapiritsi awo aziwunikira pa ndege zapakati pausiku, masitima apamtunda ndi magalimoto.
Ndinagwira ntchito ku Waterstones ngati ntchito ya ophunzira pakati pa 2007 ndi 2012. Nthawi yaying'onoyo inali yodzaza ndi mavuto, mavuto azachuma komanso kugwa kwachuma. Kampaniyo inali ndi nkhawa kwambiri ndi imfa ya mabuku a mapepala. Ma e-readers a Waterstones adapatsidwa patsogolo m'masitolo; tinauzidwa kuwakankhira iwo kulikonse kumene kuli kotheka monga tsogolo la kuŵerenga ndi kumasuka kwaumwini.
Kungoti, sizinali choncho. Palibe amene anasiya kukonda mabuku. Palibe amene anasiya kuweruza mabuku ndi chikuto chawo, ndipo palibe amene anali ndi maganizo abwino amene anagulitsa makope a moyo wawo wonse kuti apeze laibulale yeniyeni. Zingakhale ngati kufunsa wina kuti asiye zolemba zawo za LP chifukwa ali ndi akaunti ya Spotify.
Kaya zopeka kapena zongopeka, prose kapena ndakatulo, bukuli silinafe, ndipo silidzatero. Intaneti ndi chida chabwino kwambiri, chanzeru, koma ndi mtundu umodzi waukulu wa SparkNotes. Ma algorithms ndi zolemba zolimbikitsidwa pa Wikipedia sizingachotse chisangalalo chowerenga ngati chochitika, osati mapeto.
Liwu lodabwitsa la Chijapani ndi 'tsundoku', kutanthauza kupeza zowerengera koma kuzilola kuwunjikana m'nyumba mwathu osawerenga - zonse hail bibliomania.
Agogo anga aakazi, Eleanor, anandipatsa chikondi choŵerenga kuyambira ndili wamng’ono. Palibe buku limene linapita patsogolo kwambiri, losavuta kapena lowononga nthawi ndi ndalama. Anachita zimene Winston Churchill ananena ponena za mabuku: “Aloleni akhale mabwenzi anu; + Ngakhale zili choncho, akhale akukudziwani. Ngati sangalowe m'moyo wanu, musawakane ngakhale kugwedezeka kwa kuzindikira."
Kudzizungulira nokha ndi mabuku, kuwerenga, osawerengeka, kugundidwa ndi chala chachikulu kapena kusweka, kumalemeretsa miyoyo yanu. Zophimba zimatha kukhala zowala kapena zonyowa, koma fungo lake nthawi zonse limakhala umboni wokhudza chidziwitso chakale kapena malingaliro atsopano. Amakukumbutsani zomwe mukudziwa ndipo ndi pempho lofatsa kuti mudziwe zambiri.
Kuwona mabuku kumakulitsa luso la kuzindikira mwa kupanga kuwerenga kukhala gawo la moyo wonse. Kafukufuku wina anasonyeza kuti ana amene anakulira m’nyumba zokhala ndi mabuku pakati pa 80 ndi 350 anasonyeza luso lotha kulemba ndi kuwerenga, kuwerenga, ndiponso luso lolankhulana ndi mauthenga akakula. Amatha kupanga malingaliro ofunsa ndikuyatsa kufunikira kofuna kupeza komwe kumachokera chidziwitso.
Nyumba za Old National Trust nthawi zonse zimakhala ndi mabuku angapo m'malaibulale omwe amawoneka ozizira komanso osakondedwa. Ndi anthu ochepa okha amene anadzizungulira ndi mabuku odzaza matebulo, akutuluka m’mabowo kapena kupsinjidwa pakati pa mashelefu anganene kuti ndi zachabechabe.
Mabuku amafotokoza za kudzichepetsa kwanzeru, chisangalalo chopeza chinthu chomwe simuchidziwa mwa kufufuza, kuwerenga, ndi kuphunzira. Pano pali milu yambiri ya mabuku ndi nyanja yosatha ya zodabwitsa.
