Unread: A Memoir of Learning (and Loving) to Read on TikTok

內容簡介

內容簡介 由於童年時期的學習障礙與教育疏忽，奧利佛·詹姆斯（Oliver James）在高中畢業時，成了全美約 4,500 萬名「功能性文盲」(閱讀能力不足以應付日常生活所需)之一。然而，在 32 歲那年，懷抱著遠大夢想卻缺乏實踐工具的他，決定全身心投入學習那項令他受挫一輩子的關鍵技能：閱讀。奧利佛因在 TikTok（及 BookTok 社群）上坦率記錄自己身為成年人學習認字的過程，以及箇中的掙扎與勝利，而成為網路焦點。在本書中，他首度透過形塑並啟發他生命經驗的 21 本關鍵書籍，完整講述這段旅程背後的故事。他的故事揭示了閱讀如何教會我們每一個人，成為更好、更具同理心的人。在短短 365 天內，奧利佛從勉強能看懂餐廳菜單，進步到即將達成「一年讀完 100 本書」的目標。《未讀之書》動人地提醒了我們：文字與故事擁有力量；無論過去如何，成長永遠不嫌晚。As a result of childhood learning disabilities and educational neglect, Oliver James graduated from high school and became one of approximately 45 million functionally illiterate Americans. However, at age 32, with big dreams and few tools to actualize them, he dedicated himself to learning the key skill that had evaded him his entire life: reading.Oliver has become a TikTok BookTok sensation for the way he’s candidly documented his decision to learn to read as an adult, and his struggles and triumphs along the way. Here, he tells the full story behind his journey for the first time through the 21 key books that shaped and informed his experience. His story reveals the ways in which reading can teach each of us how to be better, more empathetic people.In just 365 days, Oliver went from barely being able to read a restaurant menu to closing in on his goal of finishing 100 books in a year. Unread is a moving reminder to all of us that words and stories have power, and that, no matter our past, it's never too late to grow.

各界推薦

各界推薦 “Unread feels like both story and concordance, a good read and a great resource for others who are on their way up the mountain of literacy. But mostly, this book is a testament to human will. It’s a reminder that in order to enunciate resilience, one must learn the phonetics of desire, survival, and freedom. Oliver James is a marvel.”―Jason Reynolds, New York Times bestselling author of the Track series“Oliver James is a big dreamer whose life was transformed through books—and he made the brave, bold choice to dive headfirst into wherever this would take him. . . . He’s the living, breathing, thriving example of what reading can do for a person. Though Oliver found the light at the end of the tunnel, there are quite likely millions of children who are headed down the dark road he went through—but if their parents, educators, and leaders would read this memoir . . . there is still a chance to turn it all around for them, too. This raw, unfiltered deep-dive into the mind's eye of a man who has been through it all should be a must-read for educators of our at-risk youth.”―I. C. Robledo, author of 365 Quotes to Live Your Life By
