Is reading under threat? No, says Alan Jacobs--but people do need help iand encouragemnt to enjoy it to the full. Jacobs's experience as a lecturer and many-time author suggests that many readers lack confidence; they wonder whether they are reading well, with proper focus and attentiveness, with due discretion and discernment. Many have absorbed the puritanical message that reading is, first and foremost, good for you--the intellectual equivalent of eating your Brussels sprouts. For such people, indeed for all readers, Jacobs offers some simple, powerful, and much needed advice: read at whim, read what gives you delight, and do so without shame, whether it be Stephen King or the King James Version of the Bible. He offers an insightful, accessible, and playfully irreverent guide for aspiring readers. Each chapter focuses on one aspect of approaching literary fiction, poetry, or nonfiction, and the book explores everything from the invention of silent reading, reading responsively, rereading, and reading on electronic devices. Invitingly written, with equal measures of wit and erudition, The Pleasures of Reading in an Age of Distraction will appeal to all readers, whether they be novices looking for direction or old hands seeking to recapture the pleasures of reading they first experienced as children.
最近读了一本《阅读的乐趣》(the Pleasure of Reading in An Age of Distraction),不过,照书名直译,似乎《在一个心不在焉的时代里谈谈阅读的乐趣》更为准确恰当。后细细想来,英译汉,自然要考虑中文读者习惯简短标题这一文化背景,也就不计较了。看完了全部文章随笔,才...
評分美国小说家爱德华•霍克曾说,假如你是第一次阅读乔尔•汤斯利•罗杰斯的《红色右手》,那么我十分嫉妒你将得到的体验。其实对于那些不经意流露出类似于“教练,我想读书”这样想法的人,我也是心怀妒忌的。其实只要你想读,这世上是不缺好书的。如果非要说这世界美好...
評分书单池NO·308 书名:《消遣时代的阅读乐趣》 作者:[美]艾伦·雅各布斯 翻译:魏瑞莉 出版社:译林出版社 推荐:???????????????? 如果一件事对你来说没有乐趣可循,你会去做么?相信大多数人都会选择不会。更何况阅读,这种看起来吃力又不讨好的事情。 很多人问我,为何喜欢...
評分收获:收起焦虑,重新静心读书,不要抱太强的功利心,不要给自己过多的焦虑感和压力。既然这本书都能看,那么我该尽快开始下一本书了。 评价:我不能理解目前这本书的评分。本书 1.逻辑性差:通过举有倾向性的个例和名人名言来佐证观点的方式并不能让我信服;论点自相矛盾。比...
評分《再读一遍:消遣时代的阅读乐趣》,这本书脱离了我的荐书风格。作为2014年DIAO计划我推荐的第一本书,阅读一本如何阅读的书,我觉得是一个阅读年一个特别的开始。 尤其是,我们面临着如此一样的阅读困境: “最近几年,我一直有一种不舒服的感觉,觉得某些人或某些东西正在摆...
不一般的路子 肯定主體感受 影響瞭我博一下學期的生活 好想推薦去做中文版
评分還是某種程度解答瞭我訊息爆炸下的睏惑。問題在於,不能忽略的一件事是,不管hyper attention還是 deep attention,首先你得pay attention!(減一星)然後我從來不認為人有multitask的能力,多任務間切換實際是消耗精力和低效的。(減一星)
评分A book by an English professor, a change of pace from the more serious stuff I am reading. 讀後覺得比預期要好。有共鳴。很可愛的一本小書。一個愛書人寫給彆的愛書人看的。
