The common reader, as Dr. Johnson implies, differs from the critic and the scholar. He is worse educated, and nature has not gifted him so generously. He reads for his own pleasure rather than to impart knowledge or correct the opinions of others. Above all, he is guided by an instinct to create for himself, out of whatever odds and ends he can come by, some kind of whole — a portrait of a man, a sketch of an age, a theory of the art of writing (查看原文)

许久不读文学,已然失去了阅读理解的能力。阅读过程中想到最多的是高中语文课本和试卷上的阅读短文,全都摘选自名家名篇,传达关于人生关于生活关于思想的种种。现在回想起来,当初在课本和试卷答题时写下的理解不过是袖手旁观、浮于表面的第三视角,我知道在卷子中写下答案,作者要表达困苦中的坚强,赞美人性中的善良,惋惜人生中的困顿,但却从未真正理解从未真正发自内心,也难怪作文总是很难写出有想法的内容
