71. If you have learnt to love books as a child, the reading habit will never desert you. But if this has not been your good fortune, you tend to think of reading as a bore. A few, but very few, come to the habit late in life. The circumstances which help to set a child on the path to the literary adventure are: a life even barely above real poverty, so that there is cope in the family for thoughts and activities not wholly devoted to the struggle for making a living; the availability of free books either at home or in a public library; and the possession of a character both curious and independent.

In order to desire to read one must be curious. A few children are able to keep this curiosity and their mental independence alive despite the educational system of their country. But many fail to do so either because of an overstrict system where what is most important is memory work; or because of a careless and lazy one where even the basic disciplines of literacy are ignored in the sacred name of free expression. 如果你从小就学会爱读书，阅读的习惯将会陪伴你一生。但是如果你没有这么幸运，你会觉得阅读枯燥乏味。有些人，但是很少，会在日后爱上阅读。有助于帮助孩子走上文学之旅的环境包括：不算特别贫困的生活，这样一来家里就有思考和活动的余地，无需全力以赴为生计而奋斗；家里或公共图书馆里可以获得免费阅读的书籍；拥有好奇而独立的性格。
