About Reading and readers

Reading is habit that you develope over a time .Though many people say that I like reading ,definition of reading changes from person to person .For some of us , some news from daily newspaper appeals most or for some other only some thought provoking essay makes a good reading. People who read more or rather to say read what most others dont ,feel that they are intellectually superior men to others. This can be easily concluded from talking to versatile readers.They feeel that their opinions are perfect and rest dont have enough knowledge to decide . Why does this happen ?
Basically reading a lot means you have perspective from various people .Your opinion is influenced by many other peoples opinion. You have more data to analyse a given situation .
But this necessarily does not mean that youe assessment of situation is better. Life throws many surprises , situation you face in real life is somewhat different than what we have read or data we have .So reading will not necessarily help on all occasions.
The ego that ' I know everything' can come for reading, though people will argue that if you read enough then you know ego is not virtue to possess.You think yourself above the world and thatswhere i think what separates Voracious readers from writers.
As a reader you should avoid such thing happening , this can mar the reading habit .To like some book depends on your mind state and how much you can relate to the experinces in the book.
Some really great writers have this knack of influencing wide range of people form different cultures and over many generations . It makes for what is said as Classics.But there are some books which you like sicerely but many people dont know about it.These are books which relate to your but not to many . We have to enjoy these as well. As a connoisseur , we need to pick up what suits our taste.It adds more joy to reading .We need to understand that to like a particular book doesnt prove that we have a bad choice it is just that we match a wavelength with that book. We dont always have 'Pooran Poli' (Maharashtrian Sweet Dish) , sometimes we have 'Baingan ki Sabji' as well.In as same way to eating ,for reading is also we need to cultivate our taste .Read more , like what you read , and read what you like.
