A Pattern of Good Reading“Every good book leads, if you let it have itsway, to another book. The trails in booklandcross and recross. When you lay down Wells’Outline of History or Durant’s Story of Philos-ophy after reading the last page you are, likea graduating university scholar, at ‘commen-cement.’ These two books, typical of many,point the way to enough reading to keep a read-er busy for the rest of his life.“Another way to start is by selecting four de-partments of reading, such as history, poetry,philosophy and science. Get a book that appealsto you in each department, and read accordingto your mood. Change from one to another: weare told that Oliver Wendell Holmes laughedheartily at a musical comedy for half an hour,and then, tired of laughing, read the Thoughtsof Marcus Aurelius.”

Reading Aloud in the FamilyCharles Laughton, Whose name has become

synonymous with the art of reading aloud, hassaid, “The secret of reading aloud is to readsomething you love to somebody you love.” Fiverules Mr. Laughton thinks important are:

1. Pick a story or book that you want toread.

2. If you hit one you don’t like, try another.3. Don’t read too much at a time. Stop when

you’re tired.4. Stick to your own natural voice.5. After reading, talk. Children especially

love to talk over what they’ve been listen-ing to.

Your librarian will be glad to help you choosebooks Which Will be enjoyed by all age groupsand by the entire family for general reading.“Some of the books we choose will not becrammed full of information, but are valuablebecause they contain exquisite nosegays of wis-dom. Some will not deal with details, but withprinciples, and principles are the most hardy,convertible, portable and usable species of lit-erary property.”(Quotations used in this list are from The Royal Bankof Canada, Monthly Letter, Vol. 39, No. 11)
