BOOKS.. WHAT ARE THEY LIKE?


It's the modern dictionary:

No go, the young learner 10+ looked into the words, understood the meaning of each, tried by-hearting the spellings, listened to the correct pronunciations thru' the related audio repeating all along to learn the same to perfection..

It's the text book of certain subject:

Equally, the student of 20+ opened the book and sitting erect in the chair and keeping the book on the table, started reading it slowly understanding the subject occasionally scribbling and noting down small info in a separate note book and thus had gone thru' the book partly for the day so that that read was well gone into the brain and the subject matter understood to a certain level to be ready for the next day's study..

It's the book of latest film/folk songs:

Of course once in a way, the youngster of 25+ opened the book simultaneously switching on the related audio and the songs there in are sung in sequence rhythmically all along adjusting the tune to that heard on the audio sung by the famous singer thus enjoying the melody and rhythm of the same..

It's the famous novel:

Invariably, the bookworm of 30+ was very much inclined to read it leisurely relaxing all along, soon got deep into the mystery of the novel and how the same was resolved totally losing self to the sequential events that came up therein forgetting the time and surroundings for a while..

It's the book of Devotional Songs:

No doubt, the middle aged of 40+ was very happy to listen to those songs sung by the famous devotee equally joining that singing in chorus..

It's the Sacred Book of Philosophical Verses:

As it happens often, the elderly of 50+ took bath, got readied, took the Sacred Book, sat erect in front of his deity and started going thru' the book chanting the Verses in the book equally reading the meaning of the same with total attention and silence thus feeling within highly devotional and finally closed the Book with a Prayer to the Deity in front..

It's the book of short moral stories:

With lessened energies and sight, the elderly of 65+, found it very convenient to listen to the stories nicely narrated thru' the audio which could well be remembered and told to the grand children laying right emphasis on the turn of events of the story without losing grip on the moral of each story..

Finally sure it's not the Book meant in normal sense as the Contemporary Philosopher proclaimed to the ardent disciples:

"Our minds are like open books. You can read only your book and I can read my book. We both together read our books, understand the Truth at our own levels and thus exist at our own Peace. There is nothing more I can teach to you here except advising you to read your book yourself end to end all along myself too reading my book from end to end!"

  2. Interesting sequencing of books vs age. However, I must add that I will be 62 in May this year and still love to read every type of book mentioned in your post.
    Loved the post though. :)

    1. They are just the average ages, Arvind.. No doubt, you brought out the right point here and I changed that age to 65 which looks more appropriate in the context.. Thanks for the appreciation.. Wishes!
