Good books recommended for college students to read

"How to Read a Book" [American] Mortimer J. Adler, Charles Van Doren.

This book mainly discusses and guides how to improve understanding through reading. There are methods and techniques for reading, and reading requires training. Before modern times, scholars in our country attached great importance to reading methods. Zhu Xi's Reading Method and Zhang Zhidong's "Bibliographic Questions and Answers" are both summaries of reading methods, showing the wisdom of Chinese scholars. Unfortunately, there are very few books on "how to read" written by contemporary Chinese scholars. There are not many domestic studies on reading methods, and there are even fewer scientific and popular works. Although "How to Read a Book" was written decades ago, it provides a set of practical and persuasive reading concepts and methods for us to think about and learn from.

The brilliant thing is that he writes down all the unbearable things we know deeply in the book. We dare not face the cowardice and ignorance that we cannot bear, and all of them are written down. I think it is this courage to write a book that few people have written that makes this book a classic.

The editor once heard a saying that when you choose the same path as most people, you have failed. College life is no different than middle school. Groups of friends have already gone their separate ways. In four years, you should get to know yourself, shape yourself, be confident, independent, and self-improvement.
