Not everyone has the
ability to write, but they do have the ability to read. The story is built by
the people who master the pen, the others become spectators. If we read, it is
because we have an enormous desire to discover sublime landscapes that are not
ridiculous, as they exist outside of books. That is why the desire to leaf
through a few pages from time to time is due.
Slowly or like a
whirlwind; continuously or by time, reading is present throughout existence and
it is better to satisfy it than from there the dreams that motivate the acts
are born.
Already speaking of
the readers, this is the attempt to describe the different types of reader that there are. We
all read, but we do it in different ways, as dictated by our personality and
character. If we figure out why we read like this, we could use this
description as a way of knowing ourselves. Perhaps reading like a book-eating
maniac shows just who we are; perhaps the people who procrastinate their
reading into oblivion are just as insipid in their daily lives.
Here is an attempt at classification:
Mandatory reader
He is generally a
student or office worker who only reads a couple of books a year. He does it
because work or school demands it of him, although in reality he has no genuine
interest in knowing. He reads the texts in his spare time, which are very short
but constant. She's at the bottom of the reading scale because once an authority
figure stops asking for readings, she never picks up a book again.
Recommended reader
It can also be called
the "disoriented reader." These people release their instinct for
reading, they need to leaf through a book continuously, however, they still do
not open their eyes and choose texts that should be in a trash can. His
bookshelf is full of empty recommendations from his friends on the lower
scales. Its genre is the best-seller.
Compulsive reader
Love reading. Every
time he visits the bookstores he buys a copy despite having five books pending.
He takes pleasure in looking for new books, dreaming that one day he will read
them all. His library is getting bigger and more complex, being a reflection of
his mind, because if there is someone who can reflect on life, it is him.
Critical reader
He is a picky reader,
no argument completely satisfies him. He looks for specific books, the little
jewels in the bookstore, fleeing from the common materials that he despises so
much. His critique is deconstructive, that is, he is not satisfied with making
generic observations, but analyzes the argument from a cold and calculating
perspective. He is a constant, responsible and devoted reader
Backward reader
He wants to read a lot of the stories. He buys the books and when he gets home he places them on the furniture. Days go by and he finally decides to grab the first copy. His reading is slow because he has a lot of obligations in daily life. In the end he ends up falling behind in his readings and he only has to dream that one day he will complete them.
