I'm surprised that the video discussing how to read a book yet doesn't mention one of the most highly regarded books on the topic: *How to Read a Book* by Mortimer J. Adler and Charles Van Doren. This is a classic guide that has been instrumental for many readers.
I don't think there's a necessity of mentioning a certain book or article in a video where everything is coming out of their own mouth. It would be quite the irony to shove that "To read book - read book."
Chill bro! The points she discussed are drawn from her personal experience, which makes it more organic. They may not hold true for everyone, as may a book on "how to read a book" not hold true for anyone and everyone. And I am not at all dismissing the value of a book like Adler and Doren's. In fact I have this book in my collection. There's also a great body of literature around this subject of "how to" in academia. Prof. Harold Bloom's "How to Read and Why" and Terry Eagleton's "How to Read Poetry" are some classics in this field.
I am surprised that this comment discussing which book is essential doesn't mention one of the highly regarded books on the topic: How to Not be a Book Snob by Late Sir J. Snobrich. This is a classic guide that has been instrumental for many commenters.
Absolutely, and it will be new as many times as you read it, provided it is a classic of a higher order. And that is what classics are, for they never tell you completely what they have to tell you actually. So, every reading is a new reader reading it, like a Herataclitus river.
You can search Sab se khatarnak by Avtar Singh Sandhu (Pash), the hindi one is pretty easy to understand and you will get the english translation as well. Never realised it was in my school hindi book back in the times. I know a bit but its broken, so probably someone can do a better translation of this verse from Main te mai by Shiv kumar batalvi- मेरा संकट सदा इह सी मेरा संकट सदा इह है उमर जद हान सी मेरे मैं उस दे हान दा नहीं सां मैं उस दे हान दा जद होया उह मेरे हान दी ना रही सो मैनूं कल्ल्ह दी उमरा हमेशा अज्ज हंढानी पई ते मेरी अज्ज दी उमरा मेरे लई रोज़ विरथा गई ना-जींदी जून मैं भोगी सदा इक लाश ज्यूंदी लई जो मैनूं ही उठानी पई जो मैनूं ही जलानी पई ।
Another Advice: Challenge The Author's Perspective (when you are reading a book on socio-economic issue). This is a wonderful exercise that makes you see both sides of the coin. I did this with "The Naxalite Movement in India" and now I am aware about how Naxalism orginated, why it got such a big support from local, how the government tackled it and even doing it now. And most important "Why Naxalism is not completely eradicated?" It's a very tiring thing to do but the way it opens your brain to various perspective is crazy.
How to read books or even have a passion for reading books and consuming culture at large as a second-third world citizen? Wage workers, peasants, marginalized communities, discriminated upon communities... Because they need it the most!
Begin with mystry books, not self-help or self-improvement. because reading nonfiction literature is more likely to boring you than reading fiction. My suggestion is: The Alchemist and The Silent Patient
What the fuck are you people up to? I don't grasp. People here are for learning "How to read a book effectively" and not because to feel climatic peace (according to you) from a random person.

I'm a video editor, so from video editing perspective, It's harder to type in hindi in the video editing softwares and takes more time. Maybe that's why their editor didn't put it in hindi.

About juxtaposition, yes yes can absolutely relate.
Also, please bring more of punjabi poets/writers here on the channel.
Chd represent hehe :')
The video is very helpful. Btw what happened to Vaani just curious.
When you read something for a second time, Does it feel like a new book to you?
I have the same question
No not for me bro. A few parts ofc feels alien, but mostly I remember things
No it does not but as you know it's summary you try to find deep meanings of lines you've already read

मेरा संकट सदा इह सी
मेरा संकट सदा इह है
उमर जद हान सी मेरे
मैं उस दे हान दा नहीं सां
मैं उस दे हान दा जद होया
उह मेरे हान दी ना रही
सो मैनूं कल्ल्ह दी उमरा
हमेशा अज्ज हंढानी पई
ते मेरी अज्ज दी उमरा
मेरे लई रोज़ विरथा गई
ना-जींदी जून मैं भोगी
सदा इक लाश ज्यूंदी लई
जो मैनूं ही उठानी पई
जो मैनूं ही जलानी पई ।
Charu ji....m in love wid u😊❤
Google translate se help se Ai mai copy paste karke short mai samaj na is better way to understand something
Here's a suggestion: to make a separate video on Thomas Hardy's novels, including all his prominent poems too.
But mujhe to English aati hee nhi ha me kya karu 🥲
Hiii,
Can you please suggest some ways how we can preserve/store books without getting them damaged…
(How to prevent the pages from getting pale)
I don't like annotating, I like to keep my book clean, so I keep a diary to write down all the necessary points and highlights.
Charu didi should only make videos on this channel from now on!! Lss go charu didi
Pls fix the audio
nah this is such a perfect video
I am a Charu Fan ...Period...

Stay away
@@sidkhuntia you'll tell that to how many people bro

Hello Charu Ma'am i know you have a book embosser can you please share the name of that particular one?
Her voice has a calming, rhythmic quality, like the sound of rain on a mountain cabin.
Make a video on how to improve English like you

i'm kinda nitpicking here but why were the 2 quoted hindi poems not presented on the screen in written format like doestevesky n nietzsche ??

Lovee this videoo♥️
💯💯🫡
the only person who can convince me to read and appreciate books!♥️
Please try to make video in hindi language
