Pane imwe nguva ndakanga ndichichengeta raibhurari yakanaka pamusha wemhuri pandakanga ndiri kune imwe nyika. Ndakabvunzwa kana "chaizvoizvo" ndaverenga mazana emabhuku aya. I was half serious pandakati, “define read”?
Uku kwaisava kunyomba sezvazvainzwika. Wakangoverenga bhuku chete kana wakagara uye wabva kubva kubutiro kuenda kubutiro? Kana zviri izvo, hapana wandinoziva akaverenga chinhu kuyunivhesiti. Vanhu vazhinji vanogunzva zvigunwe, flick, underline uye imbwa-nzeve mapeji uye shanyirazve zvitsauko.
Yunivhesiti yakatanga tsika yekutsvaga mabhuku ekare nemutengo wakaderedzwa zvinonyadzisa zvekuti unopedzisira wabhadhara mari yakawanda yekutumira. Kutsvaga mabhuku uye kuhwihwidza zvisingawanike uye zvibvumirano zvekutengesa muzvitoro zvemabhuku zvakashandiswa nemasangano anobatsira munyika yose mutambo.
Zera redu riri kukurumidza kwazvo zvokuti vashoma vanoshivirira kuverenga chinyorwa chedzidzo kubva kubutiro kusvika kubutiro. Hunenge hwakarasika hunyanzvi kupuruzira, kugaya, uye kutora mhedziso dzemusoro.
Ndakadzidzisa vadzidzi vaiita zvichemo zvekuti kubiridzira netsaona kune njodzi mumabhuku nesainzi yemagariro. Iyo internet nesocial media yakazara nemafungiro pamusoro pemafungiro zvekuti kumwe kudzokorora hakudzivisike - kurova pane yekutanga pfungwa kwakaoma zvakanyanya.
Ruzivo ruri kwese kwese, kunyanya kana uine Google yekutsvaga mukona yako. Zviri nyore kuverenga zvipfupiso zvakadzokororwa nezve, toti, Herman Melville's Moby Dick, pane kugara pasi uye kuverenga mapeji mazana mashanu parwiyo rwewhale.
Nguva zhinji, dzimwe hurukuro dzepatafura dzinotyisa dzakachinja kuva nyaya yandakanga ndisingazivi nezvayo, saka ndinoiverenga nokukurumidza panguva yokumbozorora. Kazhinji, imitambo, chemistry, kana chimwe chinhu chakasarudzika cheruzhinji. Mwari ropafadzai Wikipedia.
Chizvarwa chino chakazara nenyanzvi - isu tinoziva zvishoma nezve zvese uye kwete zvakanyanya hunyanzvi. Icho chinogona kungova chinhu chakanaka, asi kwete pamutengo wekuverenga sechiitwa uye kudzidza senzira.
Digital makopi emabhuku mazhinji anogona kuwanikwa pamapuratifomu akasiyana. Ivo vanoita kuti zvive nyore kutsvaga ruzivo, kuratidza, kurangarira, uye kunyange kukopa zvinyorwa muzvinyorwa uye zvinyorwa.

Vezvemamiriro ekunze vanokuudza ebooks akasvibira. Vanoda mabhuku vanokuudza kuti vanonyanya kushanda kuverenga pedyo nepoolside - hapasisina mapeji ane soggy pamazuva iwayo ezhizha. Vatambi ichaita kuti mahwendefa avo avheneke pane idzo ndege dzepakati pehusiku, zvitima nemotokari.
Ndakashanda kuWaterstones sebasa remudzidzi pakati pa2007 na2012. Kanguva kadiki ikako kaive kakazara nenhamo nekusuwa, matambudziko emari uye kudzikira. Kambani iyi yainetsekana zvakanyanya nekufa kwemabhuku emapepa. Waterstones 'e-readers vakapiwa pekutanga muzvitoro; takaudzwa kuti tivasundire pose pazvinobvira senguva yemberi yokurava uye kuzvinakira kwomunhu oga.
Chete, yakanga isiri. Hapana akambomira kuda mabhuku. Hapana akamira kutonga mabhuku nebutiro rawo, uye hapana aive nepfungwa dzakanaka akatengesa kweupenyu hwese makopi akaoma kuraibhurari. Zvingaite sekukumbira mumwe munhu kuti abvise marekodhi avo eLP nekuti vane Spotify account.
Ingave ngano kana isiri ngano, prose kana nhetembo, bhuku harina kufa, uye harizombofi. Indaneti chinhu chinoshamisa, chine hungwaru, asi imwe hombe vhezheni yeSparkNotes. Algorithms uye zvinyorwa zvinokurudzirwa paWikipedia hazvigone kubvisa kubva mukunakidzwa kwekuverenga sechiitwa, kwete magumo.

Ambuya vangu, Eleanor, vakandipa rudo rwokuverenga kubvira ndichiri muduku. Hapana bhuku rakambonyanya kufambira mberi, rakapfava kana kutambisa nguva nemari. Aiita zvakataurwa naWinston Churchill nezvemabhuku kuti: “Varege vave shamwari dzako; chero zvakadaro ngavave vaunozivana newe. Kana vasingakwanise kupinda mudenderedzwa rehupenyu hwako, usavanyime kana nod yekuzivikanwa. "
Kuzvitenderedza nemabhuku, kuverenga, kusaverengwa, kubatwa nemaoko kana kuputswa, kunopfumisa hupenyu hwako. Zvivharo zvinogona kupenya kana kusvibiswa, asi kunhuhwirira kunogara kuri chirevo chinobata kune ruzivo rwekare kana mazano matsva.
