Reading is like love

The book “Reading is like loving” (Ho Chi Minh City General Publishing House) by author Trung Nghia was born with the desire to share the love of books and newspapers, to preserve the habit of reading, so that readers can see that “each of us needs to “read and do” to clearly feel the benefits of books and the fun of life”.

According to author Trung Nghia, reading is like love, it needs to be nurtured and cared for every day. He wrote: "Someone once said that if "behind the success of a man there is always the shadow of a woman", then behind the success of many people is the fact that they have read many books in their life". Although the development of modern audio-visual technology today helps readers receive information and knowledge through many different channels, no matter how modern and convenient the technology is, it is difficult to replace the experience and emotions of holding a book in hand. Why? The author believes that holding a paper book, you practice patience with the thickness of the book; you are neat when arranging the bookshelf at home by easy-to-find, easy-to-look-up topics; you feel more comfortable when carrying a book with you and reading them anywhere, whenever you have free time.

224 pages thick, “Reading books is like loving” brings diverse articles. These are book introductions on many topics from history, culture, literature, art to books/poetry for children, life skills books... such as the articles “Dai Viet su ky toan thu, Vietnam cultural history outline for those who love the country's history”, “Vietnamese language is rich and affectionate”, “Journey of Ca Nong traveling to Truong Sa: Truong Sa forever in the heart”, “Starting with leaving: Warm essays about life, about people”, “Life throws us lemons, quickly deals with sugar”... Or articles spreading love for books, building reading habits and reading culture such as “Reading culture in the digital age”, “Finding happiness and health from books”, “Miss and the Library Dreaming of going to the high mountains”, “Parents help children love reading”...

In Trung Nghia’s articles, you can always find hidden reading advice somewhere. For example, when it comes to audiobooks, he writes about how people should set a goal for the number of books they read in a year. And audiobooks can help readers achieve this goal more easily, because the speed of listening to books is faster than reading books.

Or when answering the question of many young people wondering how to love books and read books in their busy daily life, not to mention receiving too much information from many sources, he said: "Young people should first build a reading habit starting from their own core needs". We need to read books as a natural, basic need that is indispensable in life.

“Sometimes, what we need to do is simply reduce the time we spend surfing our smartphones to return to the joy of turning the pages of a book, reading a few special passages, absorbing the message and applying it to our own lives,” author Trung Nghia shared.
