Classic books need to be carefully read and investigated in order to understand its underpinning. I can spend a day without eating and sleeping, but not without reading.

Shakespeare said that book is the summary of human’s knowledge and the nurture of the whole world. Life without book is like world without sunshine; wisdom without book is just like birds without wing. Gorky said that book is the ladder for man to climb.

阅读启智 比尔盖茨从退学建立微软公司到成为世界首富，只用了短短20年，被人誉为坐在世界巅峰的人。

“比尔盖茨大学没毕业照样成为世界首富！？” 比尔盖茨早在9岁的时候就已经读完了所有的百科全书，精通天文，历史地理等各学科。丰富的阅读经历铸造了他智慧的基础。 对于自己的成秘诀，比尔盖茨是这么说“是我家乡的公立图书馆成就了我”。

He even said that public library in his hometown contributed to his success.

把阅读当成信仰的犹太人 犹太民族流行这样一个传统，经典著作《塔木德》里也有这样的描述：犹太子女出刚生后的几个月内，父母会在犹太经典作《塔木德》里的每一页边角都沾上一些糖水，子女在玩耍翻书过程中就会产生兴趣，对书会恋恋不忘，其用意就是不断的培养子女的读书意识。

。 也许就是因为犹太人从小就喜欢翻书、读书，才会出现一些像爱因斯坦等震惊世界、影响历史进程的大人物，从而让世界人民铭记住了犹太民族。

The Jew regards reading as the belief.

唐朝读书风盛 井栏砂宿遇夜客 （唐）李涉 暮雨潇潇江上村， 绿林豪客夜知闻。 他时不用逃名姓， 世上如今半是君。 一天傍晚时分，船遇大风、舟停岸边。唐朝诗人李涉和书童正走在荒村绵绵的细雨中，准备找家客栈投宿。突然，眼前冲出来个人拦住了他们的去路。此人一声断喝，“来者何人？留下买路财才能过！”书童马上回答说，“这是李涉先生。”李涉是中唐时期非常著名的诗人，强盗一听，非常兴奋，“久仰大名，如雷贯耳。我不抢你的钱了，你写首诗送给我吧。”李涉一听，当即写了一首诗送给他： 井栏砂宿遇夜客 （唐）李涉 暮雨潇潇江上村， 绿林豪客夜知闻。 他时不用逃名姓， 世上如今半是君。

李涉的这次奇遇，从侧面印证了唐代社会的一个风气，那就是崇尚读书。连山贼草寇都推崇作家诗人，喜欢他们的作品了，甚至能够为了一首诗而放弃“职业操守”，可见全社会对作家和读书重视程度已经相当之高。这恐怕也是唐朝能够开创中华民族之盛世的重要原因吧。

It seems that reading was popular in Tang Dynasty for a robber even knew the name of a poet, which may contribute to the prosperity of Tang Dynasty.
