In an essay entitled "Of Studies," Francis Bacon gives not only his opinion of the different reasons of studies but also his own classification of books. This essay lead us to find out the different ideas of studying books.
According to Francis Bacon, "Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested."
Today we have all sorts of reading materials (books, articles, magazines, news papers). We have all the freedom to read them as we pleased, we can read them only in parts or if we want, we can read the book entirely. We read books not only for its quality, but we also read books which caught our interests.
Books in our everyday life, has become a usual source and useful tool in gathering data, for reaserches and other concerns. We find pleasures in reading books which are consider as the books of all time.
I have several books at home and i continously reading them, for me they are worth reading and keeping. It helps me to lengthen the horizon of my ideas and forming concepts.
We must keep in our mind that not all books are to be swallowed or to be digested, we must have a better discernment on how we'll value and appreciate a particular book.
Keep on reading!
