- Reading for Pleasure/Entertainment
Many people today are under great pressure of time. They find it difficult to associate with friends for past time activities like partying. In spite of their busy schedules, people can get very lonely. Reading for pleasure can provide an outlet to this loneliness. The materials that are read for pleasure are: novels, storybooks, cartoons, magazines, sections of newspapers that are on entertainment, and many others.
- Reading for general information
If you read widely on all subjects, you will be more and better informed. It has been rightly said that knowledge is power. It you have good knowledge about issues or on how to do things you will certainly be successful in your endeavors. Good general knowledge will also help you to socialize with people from all walks of life. This can help you to lead a more successful and happier life. Try to read widely on all emerging issues be they social, cultural, economic, political, or technical. A lot of information on a wide variety of issues is currently being circulated via the Internet. You need to learn how to use the Internet so that you can access the information, retrieve and read it.
- Reading to get instructions or directions
We are living in the ‘do it yourself’ age. Manufacturers of goods of all sorts carefully prepare operational manuals and package them with the goods. It is necessary that the users who will buy those goods are able to read and follow instructions for maximum benefit. At one time or another, you will be one such user. You therefore need to be a keen and effective reader. These are also days of wide travel and if you cannot use ‘travel guides’ well, you could find yourself lost in some part of the world one of these days.
- Reading for academic purposes
The University is the place where the highest level of learning takes place. University students, their professors, and other people who have attained university degrees and are avid readers are often referred to as academicians. You have not joined ranks with academicians; and therefore you are expected to master knowledge in your subject area of specialization. For you to attain mastery of the knowledge you need to read very widely on the subjects, conduct library research, analyse information and report on it in form of term papers. This way you create further reading materials and hence knowledge. Materials that can be read for academic information are: text books, reference books, general and specialist journals, magazines and special sections of newspapers.
