Features: Someone asked a mountain climber why he wanted to climb Mount Everest, and the answer was, "Because it is there." Are other peaks not there? In his eyes, they indeed were not there; he only saw the tallest mountain. Lovers of books should also have such a belief; read only the best books. Let us read the best books, because they are there. Things done out of one's nature, that is, things done simply to satisfy the heart, always have pleasure as the fundamental standard. To read books solely for pleasure is a very high realm. This book includes several parts: "Pleasure as the Fundamental Standard," "Heartfelt Interpretations of Classics," "The Neighbor's Garden," "Comforting the Solitude of Academia," "Five Topics on Debate and Truth, Wisdom and Beauty, Sociability: On History, On Reputation, On Roles, On Education, On Morality," and "Reading and Culture" and more.
