The pleasure of reading

The pleasure of leather (Articles, essays and interviews) Antonio Acevedo Linares antonioacevedolinares@msn.com Leather pleasure is a wonderful adventure through the imagination of language and is the best exercise of creative leisure. Harold Bloon and his book How to Leather and Why (Norma, 2000) says that reading well is one of the greatest pleasures that loneliness can provide because in his experience he has found it the most healing pleasure, reading brings one back to otherness and so much that imaginative reading is the encounter with the other and therefore relieves loneliness, and only constant and deep reading increases and fully strengthens the personality, and that to teach human feelings you need to be able to do humanly. And effect, the lonely practice of reading is a wonderful experience like love. The pleasure of the text is as wonderful as the pleasure of the body, leather is like making a long journey around the world without having to buy air tickets and get to hotels. A man who does not read is an innocent man, lost, unarmed and in that state of helplessness can be the object of any false step in life. In the trade market want to sell us the wrong idea of “quick reading” methods, but reading should be quite the opposite, such as food, an experience that is lived, despair and enjoyed as the pleasure of the body. Nietzsche recommends for an authentic reading a “ruminant attitude, glass polisher eyes and blind touch, doctrine slowly, with depth and delicate fingers, rigorous, stealth; silent and leisurely”. Reading should be an aesthetic experience motivated by the pleasure of the text and not an academic experience motivated by compulsory reading. The lyrics with blood does not enter, that ancient educational paradigm did not form imaginative readers but resentful and bureaucrats. In his already famous lectures at the University of Belgrade in 1978, in which he lectures on the book, immortality, Emanuel Swedenborg, the police story and time, which would later form the book Borges oral (Emece Editores, 1979) Borges points out how the book is an extension of memory and imagination, although paradoxically says that when we read something with difficulty, the author has failed and therefore considers that a writer like Joyce has failed well, therefore his obuerzo and a requires adding that a book should not require effort, because as happiness, it should not require an effort; but it turns out that a serious and true reading is an effort to interpret the author and his imagery; easy reading is what is done on planes while traveling and that reading does not produce happiness but relaxation. Reading is not a relaxation nor should it be taught to “kill time”, it is effort because it requires concentration and discipline to be an imaginative reader. The success of video games among young people has the particularity of having many images and in that they gain ground to books where the intellect has to make an effort to capture the images that create words and it seems that no one wants to strive reading the images in the video can more easily tell a story without make too much effort; there is the low reading rate among young people. Reading has mind-blowing powers, as in Don Quixote that under his influence raves a lost world that wants to come true and can also be dangerous, as Borges says, quoting St Anselm; putting a book in the hands of an ignorant is as dangerous as putting a sword in the hands of a child, although it deplores that was thought of books. There is another principle that has circulated in the media and it is one that says that a man who wields a musical instrument can hardly get to wield a weapon, but also a man who reads, is hardly a man who can get to kill. as Borges says, quoting Saint Anselm; putting a book in the hands of an ignorant is as dangerous as putting a sword in the hands of a child, although it deplores that thought of books.
