The books below are personal favorites. They’re full of passion, needless to say, and overflowing with positive energy. They inspire young readers to go wild and stand out in a sea of books. I’m not really qualified to talk about reading, because it’s an intensely personal thing. There can’t be one universal rule that works for everyone. When it comes to reading, there are no sages or great thinkers, only different personal experiences. We’re all equal. So why talk about reading at all? Because reading brings me joy, a kind of joy many people long for but have never found. I hope my experience can offer a little inspiration. Reading has no end. The words on paper outnumber the stars in the sky, and no one can reach the end of this road. That’s why the more you read, the more you feel you haven’t read enough, and the more you doubt yourself. To answer those doubts, readers simply keep working hard and reading. That’s what lies behind Qian Zhongshu’s bold declaration upon entering Tsinghua, “I’ll sweep through the Tsinghua library,” and the story of Marx, the Red Mentor, reading himself into a frenzy at the British Museum. A serious reader will understand them completely. I know many people like that, but I also know many whose attitude is the exact opposite. Reading should never be about gaining something or working desperately toward a particular goal or result. In my view, that doesn’t make you a true reader. True readers become one with books. Reading is an extraordinary experience that’s impossible to give up, and when they’re reading, nothing else matters. Those who shut themselves indoors on snowy nights to read banned books, or read the classics naked, must be just like that.
