About reading

The reason I read Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin is that I did a translation of an article about him,who I know little about that time,then I want to know his all honorable lifetime.In my opinion,purposes shouldn't be brought into reading,because it's just pure and enjoyable,but at the opposite side, it's also a kind of treasure that we can possess through our life,we shouldn't miss any chance to get new knowledge.So keeping reading is what the best I can do at any time.

I heard that was really good, but I never got around to reading it.

There was a time I was very thirsty to reading,then I read books when I was on a subway,a bus,a taxi and any other places I can read,what makes me to know that reading has no time and location limits,maybe now is the time!

Hi Mindy, I think purposes can be brought into reading. in general, activity of human being are always accompanied with purpose or destination. People would ask why you do things without them.

Thank you for your comment,I'm afraid what you said is the one point but not all.Many activities what we do is just because we like doing them or they are interesting regardless of purposes or destination.if we are always focus on "why",which will be a little utilitarian.Of course,it's just my opinion for your reference.
