How to read a book
It’s more than a year that I have put a big pause to my reading habits. For no specific reason, I just haven’t spared any time for quality reading. Probably, work and travel has done all the damage. The phase of this dip in my reading interests seems to be getting over. What could have been better a book to reboot, than this. A classic of 1940s. Picked it up from Borders Book store in Nashua.
Page 25 has few lines, I quote here.
How is it that a French child would find the same meaning in Symbols “Le Chat s’asseyait sur le chapeau?” as an english child with “The cat sat on the hat” . Indeed, this discovery of meaning in symbols may be the most astounding intellectual feat that any human being ever performs – and most humans perform it before they are seven years old.
Discovery of meaning in symbols. Isn’t that amazing when you think about it ?
