What is for you to read?

According to RAE, read (from Latin 'legĕre ') is

1. Pass the sight by what is written or printed, understanding the meaning of the characters used.
2. Understand the meaning of any other type of graphic representation. Read the time, a score, a map.
3. Understand or interpret a text in a certain way.
4. In public examinations and other literary exercises, say the speech called a lesson.
5. Discover by clues the feelings or thoughts of someone, or something hidden that has done or has happened. You can read the sadness on his face. You've read my mind. I read in your eyes that you lie.
6. Guess something hidden through esoteric practices. Read the future in the cards, in the lines of the hand, in a crystal ball.
7. Crack a code of superstitious signs to guess something hidden. Read the lines of the hand, the cards, the tarot.
8.  Said of a teacher: Teach or explain to their listeners some matter about a text.

But what is it for you? For me it is traveling to inexplicable and fantastic worlds when it comes to a fantasy book, it is seeing the face and the cross of love when I get lost between the verses of a book of poems, it is understanding and reflecting when I find myself in front of an essay objective, critical and well written ...

Reading means many more things than those 8 definitions that the RAE explains to us, and only those of us who are regular readers know it.

Proverbs and phrases about the act of reading

Gustave Flaubert, French writer for those of you who do not know him, said the following sentence: "There are so many ways to read, and it takes so much talent to read well!". How right he was! With this sentence I wanted to begin a summary of several proverbs about the act of reading.

• Leather It is the only sovereign act that we have left (Antonio Munoz Molina).
• When you get old, you like to reread more than read (Pio Baroja).
• Writing is the deepest way to read life (Fco. Threshold).
• When you learn to read you will be free forever (Frederick Douglass).
• Leather is to find something that will exist (Italo Calvino).
• Leather A book teaches more than talking to its author, because the author, in the book, has only put his best thoughts (Rene Descartes).
• The pleasure comes from read it is double when you live with another person with whom you share the books (Katherine Mansfeld).
• Learn to read it's the most important thing that has happened to me in life (Mario Vargas Llosa).
• The verb read, like the verb to love and the verb to dream, it does not support the imperative mood (Jorge Luis Borges).
