做一个终身读者
① 读者是一个美好的身份。每个人在一生中会有各种其他的身份，例如学生、教师、作家、工程师、企业家等，但是，如果不同时也是一个读者，这个人就肯定存在着某种缺陷。一个不是读者的学生，不管他考试成绩多么优秀，本质上不是一个优秀的人才。一个不是读者的作家，我们有理由怀疑他作为作家的资格。在很大程度上，人类精神文明的成果是以书籍的形式保存的，而读书就是享用这些成果并把它们据为己有的过程。换言之，做一个读者，就是加入到人类精神文明的传统中去，做一个文明人。相反，对于不是读者的人来说，凝聚在书籍中的人类精神财富等于不存在，他们不去享用和占有这笔宝贵的财富，一个人惟有在成了读者以后才会知道，这是多么巨大的损失。历史上有许多伟大的人物，在他们众所周知的声誉背后，往往有一个人所不知的身份，便是终身读者，即一辈子爱读书的人。在某种意义上，一个民族的精神素质也取决于人口中高趣味读者的比例。
②然而，一个人并不是随便读点什么就可以称作读者的。在我看来，一个真正的读者应该具备以下特征——
③ 第一，养成了读书的癖好。也就是说，读书成了生活的必需，真正感到不可缺少，几天不读书就寝食不安，自惭形秽。如果你必须强迫自己才能读几页书，你就还不能算是一个真正的读者。当然，这种情形绝非刻意为之，而是自然而然的，是品尝到了阅读的快乐之后的必然结果。事实上，每个人天性中都蕴含着好奇心和求知欲，因而都有可能依靠自己去发现和领略阅读的快乐。遗憾的是，当今功利至上的教育体制正在无情地扼杀人性中这种最宝贵的特质。在这种情形下，我只能向有见识的教师和家长反复呼吁，请你们尽最大可能保护孩子的好奇心，能保护多少是多少，能抢救一个是一个。我还要提醒那些聪明的孩子，在达到一定年龄之后，你们要善于向现行教育争自由，学会自我保护和自救。
④第二，形成了自己的读书趣味。世上书籍如汪洋大海，再热衷的书迷也不可能穷尽，只能尝其一瓢，区别在于尝哪一瓢。读书是一件非常私人的事情，喜欢读什么书，不论范围是宽是窄，都应该有自己的选择，体现了自己的个性和兴趣。其实，形成个人趣味与养成读书癖好是不可分的，正因为找到了和预感到了书中知己，才会锲而不舍，欲罢不能。没有自己的趣味，仅凭道听途说东瞧瞧，西翻翻，连兴趣也谈不上。针对当今图书市场的现状，我要特别强调，千万不要追随媒体的宣传只读一些畅销书和时尚书，倘若那样，你绝对成不了真正的读者，永远只是文化市场上的消费大众而已。须知时尚和文明完全是两回事，一个受时尚支配的人仅仅生活在事物的表面，貌似前卫，本质上却是一个野蛮人，惟有扎根于人类精神文明土壤中的人才是真正的文明人。
⑤第三，有较高的读书品位。一个真正的读者具备基本的判断力和鉴赏力，仿佛拥有一种内在的嗅觉，能够嗅出一本书的优劣，本能地拒斥劣书，倾心好书。这种能力部分地来自阅读的经验，但更多地源自一个人灵魂的品质。当然，灵魂的品质是可以不断提高的，读好书也是提高的途径，二者之间有一种良性循环的关系。重要的是一开始就给自己确立一个标准，每读一本书，一定要在精神上有收获，能够进一步开启你的心智。只要坚持这个标准，灵魂的品质和对书的判断力就自然会同步得到提高。一旦你的灵魂足够丰富和深刻，你就会发现，你已经上升到了一种高度，不再能容忍那些贫乏和浅薄的书了。
⑥能否成为一个真正的读者，青少年时期是关键。经验证明，一个人在这个时期倘若没有养成读好书的习惯，以后再要培养就比较难了，倘若养成了，则必定终身受用。青少年对未来有种种美好的理想，我对你们的祝愿是，在你们的人生蓝图中千万不要遗漏了这一种理想，就是立志做一个真正的读者，一个终身读者。
