Features: Most avid readers develop personal reading preferences. For me, large hardcover books always evoke a sense of reverence—these are written for seasoned sages, and reading them feels like one must dress appropriately and behave with decorum, so I always sit quietly in the library; while trendy bestsellers, youthful fashion, are clearly aimed at young, stylish girls. If I encounter them in a bookstore, I do hold them dear, but I would never take them home. I prefer books that I can carry with me—preferably those with a mature, middle-aged vibe, with a warm and kind heart that has weathered the world yet remains uncooled, offering life wisdom without being hasty or condescending. As someone with discerning taste, I am currently at risk of going hungry this season. But the good news is just ahead.
