Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Reading is considered a good hobby because it leads to the all-round development of one\u2019s brain and personality, and is known to improve one\u2019s imagination skills. Book enthusiasts usually envisage, explore new ideas, and stimulate their minds with a good read, through someone else\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\nFree time is a good moment to catch up on a new book, expound knowledge, and enjoy the mind of a writer.<\/p>\n
Why do some people find pleasure reading, set targets and fulfil them, regardless of their busy schedules? What inspires them to read?<\/p>\n
Fred Kiiza, a fervent reader who has read over 2,000 books in the past 15 years, answers these questions and more.<\/p>\n
The executive director of ABC, a Christian organisation in Rwanda, and a resident of Kicukiro District, reads between 12 and 15 books each month.<\/p>\n
His reading spans a range of disciplines, including history, law, theology, theoretical science, philosophy, and biographies.<\/p>\n
Kiiza developed a passion for reading at the age of eight with a small book that told the story of a young boy and a giant. As he advanced to primary school, he became more invested in books. By the time he joined secondary level, he often preferred reading textbooks over taking notes, going as far as memorising some of them.<\/p>\n
In his early teenage years, he delved into novels like \u201cScarlet Song\u201d (1981) by African writer Mariama Ba\u0302, followed by \u201cPilgrim’s Progress\u201d.<\/p>\n
When he joined the seminary, his love for reading took a more serious turn.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, the bulk of my reading \u2013 those 2,000 books, and more, has been in the last 15 years. It was during this period that I began reading with a clear intent and had access to the quality of books I truly sought,\u201d he highlights.<\/p>\n
Curiosity is what drives him to read. He has a drive that he has failed to control\u2014to seek to comprehend the world and its myriad concepts.<\/p>\n
Each book he completes often leaves him with more questions, pushing him to seek out another volume on the same topic to gain diverse perspectives.<\/p>\n
This cycle impels him to read incessantly. He ventures into multiple disciplines not only because of his academic background, but also because he believes, contrary to some opinions, that knowledge is intricately interwoven, with each field representing just a fragment of the vast tapestry of understanding.<\/p>\n
Fred Kiiza, a fervent reader who has read over 2,000 books in the past 15 years<\/p>\n
A significant portion of Kiiza\u2019s income is allocated to purchasing books on Kindle, in digital libraries (like Logos), and in print. To him, reading is as vital as eating. As a result, he spends a minimum of $2,000 per year on books.<\/p>\n
\u201cThough I set reading targets, I should note that I generally don\u2019t count anything under 200 pages as a \u2018book read.\u2019 When time allows, I even surpass this monthly count. That said, I always feel there\u2019s room for improvement in my reading habits, especially knowing some avid readers who surpass my numbers. Every new year, I set a resolution to increase my reading volume.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kiiza\u2019s advice to people who aren\u2019t inclined to read is to start with Mortimer J. Adler\u2019s \u201cHow to Read a Book.\u201d<\/p>\n
For him, many individuals find reading tedious because they have never learned to engage with it effectively. He stresses that Adler\u2019s guide introduces readers to techniques that can make reading more enjoyable and rewarding.<\/p>\n
To underscore the importance of reading, Kiiza advises in both an invitation and a caution, drawing an example from the late humourist, and novelist Mark Twain, who aptly remarked, \u201cA person who won\u2019t read has no advantage over one who can\u2019t read.\u201d<\/p>\n
He notes that this quote sheds light on the true value of literacy. Ever since he fell in love with reading, Kiiza has discovered the immense essence of reading, for instance, it\u2019s a privilege of literacy.<\/p>\n
The passionate reader highlights that not everyone is privileged with the ability to read due to societal, financial, or cultural barriers\u201d, and \u201cneglecting to use a skill that many lack seems wasteful.\u201d<\/p>\n
The book enthusiast notes that reading opens doors to endless knowledge, varied cultures, historical insights, and diverse viewpoints. Not engaging in it means missing out on immense growth opportunities.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a minimal distinction between one who can\u2019t read because of unavoidable circumstances and one who simply chooses not to. Both miss out on the enrichment reading offers,\u201d he stresses.<\/p>\n
According to Kiiza, reading is empowerment. It cultivates critical thinking, enabling individuals to make informed choices and participate in impactful discussions.<\/p>\n
Additionally, he says beyond academic or career advancement, reading fosters continual personal and intellectual development.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen a significant portion of literate individuals opt out of reading, it hampers the collective critical thinking and growth of society.\u201d<\/p>\n
For him, books not only entertain but also challenge our views and biases, urging us to think critically. They stress the importance of knowledge as a tool for empowerment and navigating life\u2019s complexities.<\/p>\n
Kiiza says the lessons one extracts from a book are influenced by its genre, context, and the reader\u2019s personal perspective, making every reading experience unique.<\/p>\n
From his reading of history books as well as books on the history of ideas, he has come to appreciate how ideas from bygone eras subtly yet powerfully shape our daily lives, societal structures, cultural norms, and personal beliefs.<\/p>\n
These historical ideas influence not only those who actively engage with them but ripple through society, affecting even those unfamiliar with their origins. In essence, the past echoes in our present, often directed by those who have taken the time to understand and interpret it, he adds.<\/p>\n
While most of his writing to date has been academic papers, not books, the book lover has been contemplating venturing into more mainstream literature for over a decade. Many colleagues of his have heartened him to take this step.<\/p>\n
He aspires to pen a book intended for a broader audience in the near future.<\/p>\n
Although he establishes reading goals, there are days when he plans to immerse himself in a book with the aim of completing it within a day or two, only to be side-tracked by unexpected events.<\/p>\n
Just like anyone else, Kiiza encounters challenges. One significant advantage he has, which many avid readers might relate to, is his disciplined approach to phone usage. It greatly minimises distractions.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I am engrossed in a book, even the loud beating of drums would barely register. However, on the rare occasions when unforeseen events disrupt my reading plans, I always find a way to compensate and ensure I meet or even surpass my reading targets later on.\u201d<\/p>\n
When asked to reveal his favourite author, Kiiza explains that choosing a single \u2018best\u2019 author is a challenging task given the multitude of talented writers he has admired across various disciplines and genres.<\/p>\n
However, if he had to pick one whose work resonates broadly, transcending backgrounds, educations, and personal interests, it would be Clive Staples Lewis, commonly known as C.S. Lewis. His profound influence on readers is undeniable, and here is why he stands out for him.<\/p>\n
Lewis\u2019 writing prowess spanned multiple genres. He penned beloved children’s literature like \u201cThe Chronicles of Narnia\u201d, ventured into science fiction with \u201cThe Space Trilogy\u201d, explored Christian apologetics (a branch of Christian theology that defends Christianity) in works like \u201cMere Christianity\u201d and \u201cThe Problem of Pain,\u201d and even authored academic literature commentaries.<\/p>\n
Kiiza commends the author\u2019s writing, whether it\u2019s fiction or non-fiction, saying Lewis\u2019 writings are imbued with profound insights. He had a unique ability to distil complex concepts into engaging narratives, making them accessible and relatable.<\/p>\n
Lewis\u2019 transformation from atheism to Christianity adds a captivating layer to his literature. This profound shift is palpably reflected in the genuine conviction of his apologetic pieces. Beyond being an author, Lewis was a formidable intellectual of his era. He engaged in enlightening debates and discussions, showcasing his thoughts on leadership and the depth of his understanding.<\/p>\n
He adds that C.S. Lewis\u2019 multifaceted talents and his ability to weave deep, thought-provoking concepts into his writings make him a favourite.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy educational background benefits me in this regard. The books I wish to read often exceed my budget, so I access them through various premium databases associated with academic institutions. This grants me access to current research in any field of my choice, for example, Perlego, ProQuest, EBSCOhost, ATLA, JSTOR, SAGE, and others.\u201d<\/p>\n
His current reads are the \u201cNew Testament in Greek, 4th Edition\u201d, \u201cThe 2023 Constitution of the Republic of Rwanda\u201d, \u201cGod and the Transgender Debate: Biblical Perspectives on Gender Identity\u201d, and \u201cContemporary Perspectives on Religious Epistemology\u201d edited by Douglas Geivett & Brendan Sweetman.<\/p>\n
