You've probably come across top lists - of books that need reading. For me personally, these lists are useful to know, and not forgetting there something important. But books published so much that one can hardly have time to read at least with a small part of them. And preferably with the best part. Correctly say, in life you need to read ten books, but to know what, you just need to read thousands.
And really, how many books can be read by a human being? A bit of history. In the cuneiform library, founded by King Assurbanipalom (VII century BC, Assyria) storing more than 20,000 clay books. Clay was the first material for the books. In the age of the papyrus book's richest book collections of antiquity was Bibliotheca Alexandrina kings Ptolemy (about 700 000 papyrus scrolls). The first printing experiments Gutenberg began in 1440 created the first Gutenberg printing equipment, has invented a new method of making a font. And second half of XV century was a time of triumph of printing in Europe. The first printed book of the Moscow State is printed by Ivan Fedorov and Petr Mstislavets "The Apostle" in 1564 and already in the 18th century Russia produced 9.5 thousand editions.
In the USSR during 1918 -1982 years - published 34 million books and pamphlets sold over 57 billion only Tolstoy published in number - 323 200 000, Pushkin - 301.4 million, Chekhov - 142.1 million, Lenin - 600 million copies . We turn to the present day. In 2008 alone g - 123 000 titles were released 760 million copies of copies. Let us look to the West - Library of Congress, the largest library in the world, contains more than 130 million items, including more than 30 million books and other printed materials in 470 languages, over a million issues of newspapers from around the world, 58 million manuscripts. Thanks to information technology, the Internet, we have access to any information. In this digital information to 3 million times than printing (all ever published). According to the company Webscan Technologies in the first half of 2008 was published in RuNet 13.1 million news. Half of them, of course, is duplicated on different sites, but nevertheless the numbers are impressive. Rhythm Life speeds up. Other competitors newspapers (in the form of TV, radio) and taken away without that little time left to read. And you want to read so much. What's left to do in this furious stream of information? Only one way out - improve the efficiency of its information. And not just in terms of reading books, but also when used with other types of information. Ability to work effectively with information in the 21st century - will be one of the main competences of man. And yet - how many books can be read by the average person in your life? If you read an average of 3 books per month for 60 years, we get about 2000. Is this the limit? What do you do with those 123,000 books published only in 2008, not to mention the published earlier.
