Declaration of Rights of the Reader
I enjoy reading. Even the not so - to read books for me as vital as eating, drinking or breathing. Before the birth of the child the perfect holiday for me to fall into a chair or on the couch with a stack of books and read for hours.
It is clear that the fall in the chair after the birth of a child and read the clock did not work, so I had to learn to cut out this urgent need minutes.
However, all the time is still not enough, so I had to learn more and to optimize the process. The book by French writer Daniel Pennac "like a novel" wonderfully formulated the principles of the effective approach to reading, called "Declaration of the Rights of the reader."
1. The right not to read.
You can read. And you can not read if you do not want and do not worry about the thoughts that you need to read. Many of my friends in school just hated to read it because reading something on the program was mandatory. But after finishing school many of its own motion re-read the entire curriculum - not in obyazalovke, but for themselves, while receiving enormous pleasure.
2. The right to pass.
Remember how in school we were taught to read the book and out, not missing a single episode? Of course, remember. And just try and read. But we are no longer in school - so why would not we flip through descriptions of nature, a very long monologue of the hero, or something else that you do not like and continue to read, swipe a couple of pages of the book to still bring pleasure
3. The right not to finish
I remember at one time I was terribly proud that finish everything I start to read, even that seemed boring, uninteresting or boring. Unlearning this habit was hard, but now I do not spend time on uninteresting book - why should finish what I do not like if the world is so much interesting unread books or loved ones who just wanted to reread again and again?
4. The right to re-read
"Again," The Lord of the Rings "? How can you have it for the fourth time you read! " You often hear it? Of course, you hear. And the hits you, why ask anyone not surprise people who listen to many times the same song or revise favorite film? Yes, I read your favorite books - worse, they do not get from this, only better.

5. The right to read what you want
It's not only about the school program - around and then say: "as you did not read the new book by writer Byakin? Drop everything and read it immediately, urgently, "And you do not like a writer Byakin, you like writer Vasechkin - well and read Vasechkina. Reading should be fun to you, not your friends or writer Byakin.
6. The right to dive into the world of books.
You see that your other half (or mother, or child) sitting buried in a book and read ecstatically? Do not distract them, do not pull, even a little let man stay completely in a world about which he reads - it is that it is the only method available to us to go to a different reality.
7. Right to read wherever you want.
Thank to modern technology - now it's really possible! It is enough to upload to your phone or tablet e-books, and you can actually read it, where it is convenient: in line at the clinic or shop while walking with a stroller, while feeding a child on a bus, at the bus stop ... even for food - yes, we all we remember from childhood that it is harmful and is not recommended by doctors, but when reading the other no, this option is often the only one. There are, of course, the option to read in the toilet, but we keep silent about it.
8. The right to read scraps.
Favorite book - one hundred percent way to cheer yourself up. Read a few pages of it over a cup of coffee - what could be better? Or read a piece from a new book and wait until better times - why not?

9. The right to read aloud.
10. The right to remain silent about the read
Olympe de Gouges and the Rights of Woman (Women and the French Revolution: Part 3)
Sometimes you want to share as read, and sometimes to be silent about what he had read, so as not to spill any impressions.
Thus, the reader has ten right - and one the ban, which is: "Never laugh at those who do not read - but they did not start."
