When it comes to choosing a book to read, there are different criteria to be highlighted. You should know what kind of purpose this book is serving. Is it just for the sake of entertainment or is it going to give us some information? We may also wonder how to choose a book in order not to get bored and be willing to turn the pages, but are we also supposed to read classics? Why do people read classics which are written over 100 years ago? What is the point behind it? Delaram is quite interested in reading and English literature in general. In this talk, she would like to talk about the difference between different types of books to read, and also the way we should look at literature in the modern world, and the choices we can make for our reading list.
