While reading your blog (I like this blog because of their originality in writing is from the author himself), I am thinking about how to encourage people to read books. One thing I have learnt is that reading is a project. In addition to motivation, reading requires skills of selecting which book should be read, why we should read this book (objective), how we can allocate time to read this book,...For a general book, of course, we don need a high level of skills. But I am still wondering whether khmer people who don like reading possess even a lower level of these skills. If not, we should start from how to give them with these skills in addition to the motivation. Availability of books is very important, and the state must encourage/subsidy to ensure that essential books are available for reading by them. I read a report of the Toyota Foundation titled "Publishing in Cambodia," a number of respondents said that they like reading history books, but when they were asked to list authors of these books, I found only a few names of authors where Troeung Ngea and George Coedes are only two remarkable authors. I am doubtful about this finding, especially on two points: Do they really like reading history books? Do these books sufficiently available for reading? Anyway, reading should be promoted to become a habit acceptable by all in the society. We must appreciate his energy and effort for making and bringing this work out to the public.
