修紅,我去年讀過“The Six Poeple You Meet In Haven”,但我更喜歡,“Tuesdays
with Morrie”。讀書是幸福的事,"We should be looking at our potential, stretching
ourselves into everything we can become...." 書給我們啟發,助我們外觀內視,
是心靈的養料。我隻讀過一本Amy Tan寫的書“The Joy Luck Club”,喜歡。
蔚虹別客氣,這樣交流,對大家都有好處啊:)
The Unbearable Lightness of Being
荊棘鳥是愛情故事,很好看,好象拍過電影,但是我沒看過。

Dogwood,
忘了說,“Tuesdays with Morrie” by Mitch Albom這本書我也看了。我很喜歡。也自然的很喜歡Mitch Albom這個人。我很少看體育節目,不過老公看時凡是有Mitch Albom評論,我都會駐足。這是一兩年前的事了吧。 後來我又買了他寫的《The Six Poeple You Meet In Haven》不過是audio book。一邊兒開車一邊聽。
你讀過Amy Tan寫的書了嗎?
我剛從Amazon.com買了一本書:One Billion Customers。下周應該會寄到。我看到的對此書的評論還不錯。你們有感興趣的嗎?願和你們一起讀。The World is Flat 和 Adventure Capitalist也都在我要讀的名單上。以上這幾本書都和在中國做生意有多多少少的關係。
我看書很雜,什麽都看,就是一本醫學手冊也可以津津有味地看上老半天。如今的日子書、報、雜誌均成了我的“進出口”文學(吃飯,出恭時的讀物),倒是花了不少時間看電影和電視連續。從那些電影和電視劇中總能學到那麽一兩句,上台麵的如《斷背山》中的:"If I know how to quit you";這句話對我們每個人都很適用,人的無可奈何在於常常管不住自己。中性的如《少年天子》中太監總管訓導太監們時說得:“別人不把咱當人,可咱一定要把自個兒當個東西。若連咱也不把自個兒當個東西,那活著還有什麽意思。”;每當我和家裏的那口子生氣時候我就會對自己說:“別人不把咱當人,可咱得把自己當個東西”,於是一定會找一個理由好好地犒賞犒賞自己一番。帶色的如剛看過的《亮劍》:“你他媽的狗娘養得,屁眼朝天有眼無珠!”;這話若是在擱在中國,我每天都會在心裏罵上它一百遍。
詩呢喜歡紀伯倫的還有席慕榮的抒情詩。
心靈探索: <> by James Redfield; <> by Mitch Albom, <<穿越生命之界>> by Carlos Castaneda.
這些書都激發我想一些日常生活以外的問題。
英文小說裏我覺得優美動人的是Jean M Auel寫的Earth's Children 係列: <>, <>, <>, <>.
我很喜歡science fictions: <> by Greg Bear,<> by Isaac Asimov; <> by David Brin, and <<3001>> by Arthur Clatke. 當年我讀到這書裏的第一段話就很感動,被深深吸引了:
Call them the firstborn. Though they were not remotely human, they were flesh and blood, and when they looked out across the deeps of space, they felt awe, and wonder--and loneliness. As soon as they possessed the power, they began to seek for the fellowship among the stars. In their explorations, they encountered life in many forms, and watched the workings of evolution on a thousand worlds. They saw how often the first faint sparks of intelligence flickered and died in the cosmic night.....
每當我在夜裏望向無邊星空的時候,心會悸動,腦開始漫遊。
最近看的<> by Stephen Baxer也很好,刺激我想了不少問題。今天去把他的其他de5本書(Manifold:Time; Manifold: Space; Manifold: Orgin; Coalescent; Exultant)買回來了。
