今年到目前為止，讀了40幾本書。很多書撂爪就忘，書合上轉天就可以打開當新書看。但還是有一些留下了比較深刻的印象，大多數是因為喜歡，有個別是緣於痛恨，都一並記錄如下。ImagineArgentina,byLawrenceThornton
很多年以前買的二手書。故事發生在70年代末阿根廷內亂時期。不是什麽積極向上的故事，但是書的敘事以及氛圍描寫極好，並且是現實魔幻派的寫法。值得一讀。The[閱讀全文]

希望幾個月後生活可以恢複到二月份之前到情形，而目前的狀態隻是暫時的，雖然這個暫時還在一直延續。這些電影都是在AMAZONVIDEO或者NETFLIX上看的。MidnightinParis是我喜歡的在歐洲取景的浪漫文藝電影。WOODYALLEN近年作品。看過兩三遍。喜歡鏡頭裏的巴黎和電影配樂。Tourist還是歐洲取景。電影裏的威尼斯看起來美得不得了，實際的威尼斯-至少我曾親臨的那個-隻是個照騙。劇情[閱讀全文]

2018中文書讀了14本。都是從淘寶上買完集運的。書的質量參差不齊，有很多雞肋。不過以下4本是很滿意的：黃永玉：沿著塞納河到翡冷翠（每次讀黃永玉都豔羨地不得了。羨慕他的才情，更敬仰他的豁達心胸。這本書讀文並茂，讀來賞心悅目。）舒國治：窮中談吃（舒國治的文字一如既往地清雅，即使在描寫紅燒肉的時候，仍是如此。哈哈）焦桐：暴食江湖（這本書知道很久[閱讀全文]
