近年来，北京的书市越开越多，越开越火。众读书人无不欣欣前往，无不满载而归。笔者亦爱看书。可也许是由于工作的繁忙，也许是由于自身的懒惰，读书的进度往往赶不上买书的速度。每每从书市归来，看着超负荷承载的书柜，新书不知该放于何处。此情此景不能不让人想到《黄生借书说》中那句着名的开篇语——“书非借不 In recent years, the book market in Beijing has become more and more popular. All the scholars are happy to go and return with full load. I also love reading. May be due to the busy work, may be due to their own laziness, the progress of reading is often behind the speed of buying books. When I come back from the book market, I don't know where to put the new books when I look at the overloaded bookcase. This situation cannot help but remind people of the famous opening sentence in Huang Sheng's book borrowing story: "books must be borrowed or not" 能读也”。文章通过谈论“借书”“买书”的不同，引出逆境能激发上进的深意。且不管其他，我们仅从读书角度来看，看借来的书是有理由的，因为“虑人逼取”；而买来的书不着急看也是有理由的，即可以留着以后再看。当可以看书的时候，累了、困了、没时间等等，却都成为响当当的不读书的理由。于是有人认为，读书已经成为一种奢侈的生活方式。细想一下，人们为什么总是给自己找出那么多不读书的借口呢？为什么不踏下心来给自己找一个读书的理由呢？曾经在网上看到过一篇文章，其中列举了读书的100个理由，当然有很多理由是牵强附会的。比如“我无聊，所以读书”、“我怕世界末日，所以读书”。理由虽然近乎调侃，但其想读书的初衷总是好的。其实，读书的理由身边就有。 |
