Mkuu hiki kitabu nilikuwa nikipata hamu ndo nakisoma.

Ila nadhani kwa mimi japokuwa nilikuwa naacha acha nimetumia kama wiki mbili hivi.

Nadhani ningetulia ningekimaliza kwa siku kama 7 tu.

Kuna hiki kingine cha the magic nimeanza kusoma juzi na jana kina kurrasaa kama mia tano hivi,siku mbili nimekula kurasa kama 90 hivi.

Kwa maana ya kuwa ndani ya siku kama 7 tu nakimaliza.

Mimi nikishika kitabu basi nakuwa nashika hasa,na nikiacha naacha hasa..

Mkuu unakumbuka unayosoma? Maana kusoma kurasa 90 kwa siku mbili kwangu ni nyingi mno, kukumbuka ni shida. Au unatumia mbinu gani ili usisahau usomayo?

War and Peace: The 10 things you need to know if you haven't actually read it. (C&P)

Who is the hero? Can you skip the boring bits? How long will it take to read? A guide to a book that is not just great, it is the best novel ever writte

1 People change. The characters in War and Peace endure extreme experiences, and emerge at the end as quite different people. The miracle of the book is that the Natasha who falls in love with anyone and everyone in the ballrooms of the opening is recognisably the same woman who withdraws from society at the end.

2 There is no hero and no heroine. This is the story of a group of people living within a society. Andrei Bolkonsky is not Tolstoy’s hero, and Natasha is not a romantic heroine. It forgives ideas of heroism, most beautifully in the last words any character speaks in the book, as Andrei’s son thinks of his father at the end of the First Epilogue. It understands and sympathises with those ideas but it excuses itself from repeating them. The book will try to understand why people behave as they do, and it may make the best case possible for some strange actions, but it won’t make apologies for anyone and won’t pass a final judgment. Don’t expect to be able to predict what happens. Even the characters won’t be able to explain why they do what they do, perhaps until weeks or months later. The subject of the book is the wildness of possibility, and how the world can be changed by one woman saying, for no particular reason that she can explain, “I have had so little happiness in my life.”


3 The novel has a particular technical feature; it passes from mind to mind, showing us the world as a consciousness moves through it. It doesn’t mean that the consciousness of the moment has any particular importance; it is just how these events were seen by one particular observer, and another observer will take up the baton in a page or two. (After 300 pages, you will agree that this is the best way to write a novel.)


4 This is not a historical novel, but a novel that discusses events of the recent past within the memory of many of Tolstoy’s first readers. Its details are not exquisite recreations of lost practice, but ways in which an individual psychology can engage with the real world. It is about history, and both the tsar and Napoleon make awesome appearances. But it is not about “the historical”, and it has no costume department.

5 You will like some characters more than others, and there will be long stretches where a character you used to like irritates or frustrates you. Other characters will engage your sympathy over time; you may be deeply surprised, by the end, by who you want to spend most time with. The book has the rhythm of life, and likability is not a steady, constant factor; sometimes Natasha is entrancing, sometimes a great bore. (If you read it more than once, as almost everyone who reads it at all does, these responses may occur at quite different times.)

6 Love comes into it. It understands, as James Buchan once wrote, that love is the circus hoop through which history is made to leap again and again. But romantic love is only one of the things that may interest the mind, and sometimes it does not interest the mind at all. There are other subjects in the novel, too.



7. Anyone who tells you that you can skip the “War” parts and only read the “Peace” parts is an idiot. The bits that interest you personally and the bits that you find of only abstract curiosity are going to change when you read the book at 20, and again at 50. The book is the product of a very big mind, who lost interest in almost everything War and Peace was about before he died. It is a living organism that is never quite the same as you remembered when you go back to it.

8 It’s quite a long novel, but not absurdly long. Proust is twice the length. Nor is it at all difficult. You think it’s a challenge? Ha, ha – The Man Without Qualities is a challenge, and it took me 17 years to get to the end of Joseph and his Brothers. You’ll read War and Peace in 10 days, maximum. Many people find the first 100 pages dauntingly full of characters, and only then does it seem to smooth out .

Yawezekana ila pia namna ya usomaji, mimi huwa nikisoma kitabu huwa nakarori mpaka namnari ya ukurasa, kwa ufupi huwa najitahidi kuhifadhi na kuelewa, ili kufanya marejeo pia, ndio maana kuna vitabu vya sampuli fulani huwa siwezi kusoma kama hicho cha "Rich Dad.... " na mfano wake vya story za kusadikika huwa siwezi kusoma kabisa.

Kukariri hadi kurasa, dah unatisha mkuu. Ila naona mbinu zako ni nzuri na kwa mbinu hizo sijui kama huwa kuna namna ya kuongeza speed ya usomaji.

Na huo ndio usomaji ufaao. Mimi nimesoma kitabu cha istihali za uhalifu nimekimaliza. Ila nimejikuta sijakielewa vizuri maana nilikisoma kwa pupa, Sasa nakirudia taratibu ili nielewa kila andiko la kitabu hiki

Hahaha sawa sawa, so haifai kusoma 50 books kwa mwaka halafu umesoma kama gazeti.

Hamna neno mkuu.

Huwezi kuongeza speed kwa mbinu hizi, ndiyo maana naona ajabu kukuta mtu ana maliza kitabu cha kurasa 200 kwa siku 14 au pungufu.

Ila mimi naona usomaji wa hivi ndio mzuri, kwa kuwa kuna uwezekano mkubwa wa mtu kubadilika kimtazamo na kuwa yale anayoiilisha akili yake. Na hivyo anaanza kuendeshwa au kusukumwa kuyawaza na kuyafanyia kazi ipasavyo kwa sababu yanakuwa ndani. Tofauti na anayesoma kwa rasharasha, asilimia kubwa ya anayosoma yanapeperuka haraka hivyo uwezekano wa yeye kubadilika kitabia na kimtazamo ni mdogo mno.

Oh kama unasoma ili kufanyia kazi ni mbinu nzuri pia, maana itaifanya aikili yako kuwaza yale uliyosoma na kuyaweka katika utendaji.

Inategemea na kitabu unachosoma.
Vitabu vingine ni virahisi na vimetumia lugha nyepesi kabisa.

Vitabu vingine ni vya kama "hadithi" ya kufurahisha tuu ambayo haina haja ya wewe ku record vitu muhimu.

Na pia ukiwa umesoma vitabu sana utagundua hamna jipya ni kama vile mambo ni yale yale lakini kila mtu ana namna yake ya kufafanua jambo hilo hilo. Kwahiyo hauwezi kuchukua muda hapo.

Thank You Khan!
I agree with you however it completely depends on the content, free time, length of book, someone's interest and how complex it is.

It took me 2-5 hours to read Harry Potter and Dan Brown while, Other books took me months to get through because of all the more complex ideas and concepts. I had to stop and really think on the ideas, sometimes I pause to make short notes for my review.
Something easy would take a couple hours or days, whereas something dense might take weeks or mouths. So it depends on the book, style of writing, author and how interested I am.
