Niech ktoś to sprawdzi pod kątem błędówReading - to be shame of it, or be proud - that is the question These days people are becoming more, and more reluctant to wisdom. The saying "ignorance is bliss" is starting to become people's way of thinking. An ubiquitous phenomenon, as it were. Then what is attitude towards reading in such ignorant times ? Is it on the verge of obsolescence or still alive and kicking ? My little interviewingIn order to answer this question I went to several places and interviewed multitude of people of manifold age. I started with going to our college, which, to my dismay, was off the chart.Our lovely collegeI tried not to ask people I know well, because they might deprive this article of objectivity. Being hundreds of people here, it was quite a piece of cake to find them.Our 'well-read' studentsMy first impression, after asking first five people was like "how did they got as far as up to here, college ?" They all claimed to have have read any books since their primary school. Three of them even claimed to have skipped the mandatory reading. The sixth one was a bit better - he has read one book of his own will. I interviewed yet ten people - for which the effect was the same - and set off for another place.It’s still aliveThis time my target was our high school just the opposite to us. My impression was wholly different. I wondered how much people could differ just by a distance of a street difference – younger ones, to say. After interviewing twenty people, they all but one claimed to have read at an average ten books since the beginning of the year. The ‘but one’ person was like our students. Then I went for the market.“Idiocracy”I can’t come up with another word than that. I interview like a hundred of people and yet, only five of them knew the contents of the most common books which ‘must have been read’ during their course of studying. The rest of them, was just playing dumb, and even was proud of not having read nearly NONE book in their lives.As summary, I will just get all these things together – reading is dying. People think it is a shame to read a book. Dumbness is a desired trait - what times are we destined to live …
