When it comes to reading, I feel like there
is a great distance from the world of reading. I used to spend most of time
playing instruments like cello, piano or guitar, etc. For me, reading the
worlds through listening to sounds and feeling what the composers try to tell
from music scores and lyrics is the most familiar way to understand human’s various
feeling and strike chords between me and composers. As a result, I consider
myself a reader, a reader with ears.
However, I still have read some great
books. A Thousand Splendid Suns is
the most inspiring and touching book that I still remember clearly today. The
book describes the struggles of two women, Mariam and Laila, to conquer a
series of tragic events and their friendship built in the 20th
century. I was deeply influenced by this book because the main characters teach
me how to fight for our own life and happiness with strong faith under
extremely tough situation.
I read
it because I find the cover of this book is so attractive for me, so there is
no one has forced me to read it. I will only read books whose covers are
interesting. As a consequence, I think it is I that made me a reader.
Sometimes I do judge a book by its cover literally just like you did because I also tend to have desire to read books with attractive covers. I can understand your feeling.
回覆刪除I think I'm similar to you when I'm a reader with ears. I like to listen to music with music video. At that time, I use my ears to be a best audience or reader.
