比尔盖茨的四个读书小习惯

I don’t let myself start a book that I’m not going to finish.When you’re reading, you have to be careful that you really are concentrating, particulary if it’s a non-fiction book. Are you taking the new knowledge and attaching it to knowledge you have.For me, taking notes helps make sure that I’m really thinking hard about what’s in there.If I disagree with the book, sometimes it takes a long time to read the book because I’m writing so much in the margins. It’s actually kind of frustating.”please say something I agree with so I can get through to the end of this book. “

There’s this one, it’s a fiction book, called Infinite Jest. I’m trying to decide if I start it or not because I watched the movie The End of the Tour.I love it, David Foster Wallace comes across as a super interesting, broad-thinking person. If the book was a two or three hundred- page book, there’s no doubt as soon as I watched that movie I’d dive in. But it’s quite long and complicated and I don’t want to make an exception. It’s my rule to get to the end.

Over time I will make the switch, but when I’m just sitting there at night reading, often a paper magazine or the book, I’m used to that. It’s ridiculous because I have a whole book bag that goes on my trips with me and it’s voluminous and antiquated.

If you’re reading books like these, you’d want to be sitting down for an hour at a time.Otherwise, just getting your mind around,”Okay, what was I reading?”This is not the kind of thing you can do five minutes here, ten minutes there. Magazine articles fit, or short YouTube videos fit into those little slots. And so every night I’m reading a little over an hour, so I can take my current book and make some progress.

如果我不准备读完一本书，我不会让自己开始读它。当你阅读的时候，你必须仔细你真的专注在里面，特别当这是一本非小说类书籍。确认你是否正在吸收新的知识并把它们加到你已经有的知识上。

对我来说，做笔记帮助我确认自己确实在思考书籍里的内容。如果我不同意这本书，有时会花相当长的时间来读完这本书，因为我在书本边缘记录太多想法。实际上这么做有点让人泄气——拜托说一些让我同意的东西让我快点读完吧。

有一本书，是一本小说，叫《无尽的玩笑》。我犹豫要不要开始读它因为我看了电影《旅行终点》，我爱这部电影，大卫·福斯特·华莱士作为一个超级有趣，思想广泛的人出镜。这本书有两三百页，毫无疑问，一旦开始阅读我就会沉溺其中。即使这本书太长太复杂，我也不想为此破例，我必须读完它。

随着时间的过多流逝，我会停止当下的阅读，但是当我夜读时，我会选择坐着好好阅读一本杂志或一本书，我已经习惯这样了。可笑的是我有一书包厚厚的陈旧的书籍陪伴我的旅程。如果你也是这样，你会想要坐下来起码一个小时。否则，你的脑袋里会想，“好吧，我在读什么？”这不是你可以干五分钟这个，干十分钟那个可以完成的事情。杂志文章可以，短视频可以。所以每天晚上我会阅读超过一小时以上，这样我能够专注于我当下的书籍，并有所进益。
