(4.1.1) Purpose of reading a book

First I divide the purpose of reading into three: entertainment, finding information, and assembling information to build your understanding.

• (4.1.1.1) Entertainment is out of scope
• (4.1.1.2) Is the purpose to obtain information?
• (4.1.1.3) History of information transmission
• (4.1.1.4) Assemble one-dimensional information in the brain
• (4.1.1.5) Only the content of the book is not a box to build understanding
• (4.1.1.6) Gradation between “Finding” and “Assembling”
