我们也许可以把天下的书分为三大类。一是完全不可读的书。这种书只是外表像书罢了,实际上是毫无价值的印刷垃圾,不能提供任何精神的启示、艺术的欣赏或有用的知识。二是可读可不读的书。这种书读了也许不无益处,但不读却肯定不会造成重大损失和遗憾。世上的书,大多属于此类。三是必读的书,即每一个关心人类精神历程和自身生命意义的人都应该读,不读便会是一种欠缺和遗憾。 We may be able to divide the world’s books into three categories. One is a completely unreadable book. This kind of book is nothing more than a book like a book. It is actually worthless printing waste and cannot provide any spiritual revelation, appreciation of art, or useful knowledge. The second is a readable or unreadable book. It may be good for such a book to be read, but not reading it will certainly not cause major losses and regrets. Most of the books in the world fall into this category. The third is a must-read book, that is, every person who cares about the human spiritual process and the meaning of his own life should read it. Without reading, it will be a lack and regret.
