2015 metų balandžio 16 diena. Aštunta knyga 2015 metų skaitymo iššūkyje pažymėta "read" ženkliuku. Kai kam atrodytų mažai, o man - labai daug. Senais laikais (kokiais "dudvyliktais" metais :) pasibaigus mokslams, negalėjau patikėt, kad galų gale galiu skaityti savo malonumui, o ne tik prieš egzaminus. Bet atsiradusį laisvą laiką skandinau darbe, internete ir šiaip mieste, o su grožine literatūra taip ir nesusidraugavau.
It's 16th of April 2015. I have already marked eight books as "read" in my 2015 reading challenge. It could look like nothing to somebody, but to me it is a lot. A few years ago, after I graduated from university I simply couldn't believe that I could read for my own pleasure instead of reading for an exam. After studies I had more free time, but I used it for work, internet or exploring the city. I did not manage to tame fiction books.

Bet tai, kad nieko neskaičiau, man visai nesutrukdė nusipirkti elektroninių knygų skaityklės.
Su ironija prisimenu, kad pirmą kartą paėmus į rankas skaityklę pabudo tikra literatūrinė jėga - gi dabar viena ranka galiu laikyti šimtus ar net tūkstančius knygų. Su tokia jėga ir skaityti lengviau - drąsinausi. Grožiniai kūriniai vis dar atrodė tikras baubas. Knygoje nėra aiškių pastraipų su antraštėmis, paryškintomis tezėmis, citatų, išvadų, rekomendacijų, gairių tolesniems tyrimams? Tai kaip tokius dalykus skaityt? - baisėjausi.
With an irony I can now remember the first time I took e-reader into my hands. I felt the power of literature. I could hold a hundred, or even a thousand books in one hand. It will be easy to read with such a power - I encouraged myself then. Fiction still looked like a horror to me. How can it be that there are no clear paragraphs, titles, citations, deductions, implications and guidelines for further research? How to read those books - I could not imagine.
Pirmas dublis.
My first e-book reader.
