<Comments>
June 9th was the final presentation day for the Biblio Battle that began in October! This time, the theme was “Books You Would Recommend to Professor Harada”, and everyone introduced their own chosen books. The line-up of these books is displayed in the table above. If I were to make a recommendation, I’d want to start with a book I enjoy. So, I introduced Haruki Murakami’s new work, “The Town and Its Uncertain Walls.” Others suggested books because they wanted to “provide healing to Professor Harada,” “introduce a book that’s trending on Tik Tok,” or “share a book that they found really interesting and hope others would read,” amongst other reasons. There were many books that piqued my interest, and I plan on reading them.
Also, as this was the final month, we’ve completed all six Biblio Battle sessions. I think there are two major reasons why I’m glad I participated in it. The first is that it rid me of my biased tastes. I used to have no interest in philosophy or art, and when I visited bookstores, I would only pick up novels. However, by reading these books for this occasion, I realized they were unexpectedly interesting. In our diverse modern society, having a broad range of knowledge should lead to many encounters and discoveries. Participating in the Biblio Battle gave me the opportunity to overcome my initial resistance, which I’m very glad for.
Secondly, it created opportunities for me to read. As a matter of fact, since I became a university student, I have hardly read any books. Thus, my skills in interpreting meanings from texts and summarizing arguments had weakened noticeably. I also noticed that my ability to focus for extended periods had diminished. However, through the Biblio Battle, I feel like I’ve gained “reading power” and “inferential skills” by being given meaningful reading opportunities. More importantly, I was able to rediscover the joy of reading.
Lastly, while this was the final Biblio Battle, it was a great opportunity to re-realize how reading books can enrich my thoughts and me. Therefore, I want to continue reading various books and embark on a journey to enrich myself even more!
