Instructions
Step 1
Educate and educate. If you know the history of literature and this man well enough, the situation is simplified: make a list of books that are potentially interesting to him, starting with the easiest to read. Buy or borrow some shortlisted books from the library. Prepare the ground: It is best to start from afar, draw parallels from politics, for example, to the plot of this book.
Step 2
Choose literature that has a clear line, simple language. Perhaps one should start with fiction or bestsellers. They are designed for a wide range of readers. Read the most interesting or funny passages aloud. Try to introduce a man to literature, infect him, but for this you need to sincerely love what you are reading.
Step 3
Watch film adaptations and listen to soundtracks. The works of world literature, filmed today, are gaining more and more popularity. Movies, TV series, musicals, plays, even comics - all of this popularizes great novels, biographies, and even poetry. You can watch the series about the realities of Soviet life "Children of the Arbat" (based on the trilogy of Anatoly Rybakov), the biographical film "Amadeus" about the life of the genius Mozart (adaptation of the play by the English playwright Peter Schaeffer) or the French musical "Notre Dame Cathedral", which tells a story invented Victor Hugo.
Step 4
Use his love of gadgets. If your husband sits at the computer day and night, you can use this love of technology: give him an e-book. It's a trendy and modern way to read. Thousands of works can be placed in this book, it weighs almost nothing and does not spoil the eyesight.
Step 5
Sign up to the library together. The library is not an atavism. This is a place where you can chat with interesting people, find new books. Libraries often host lectures and exhibitions, so you find yourself at the center of intellectual life. Perhaps a trip to the library will remind you and your loved one of childhood, and the deadline for the book will not give you the opportunity to put it in a distant box.
