I remember Yu Dahua said about reading: "Whether you believe it or not, there are only a few books that a person can read in a down-to-earth manner throughout his life, so he should read it several times. The same book, every time you read it, you will feel the same. They are all different. When reading, you need to thoroughly understand the author’s thoughts and understand the profound things, so that you will benefit greatly.”

This issue’s book list recommends good books that you can read again and again. The recommended content comes from book friends. Let’s take a look at our thoughts after reading and checking in. Join Feimang, check in and read together, fight against inertia, and become a better version of yourself.

Mayleen's review of "Tea, Soup and Good Weather"

The book contains various delicacies told by everyone: melon seeds, tea, lion's head, roasted chestnuts, Carrots, spring cakes, salted duck eggs, rice dumplings, lotus roots?

Most of what they write about are the foods of ordinary people, but in their writing they become vivid, ordinary and extraordinary. I can even smell the fragrance of sugar-roasted chestnuts in Shu Ting's words, and can imagine the joy of the beggars when they become Buddha and jump over the wall.

Mr. Liang Shiqiu’s sour plum soup and candied haws made my mouth water, as if I had eaten the candied haws and drank the sour plum soup. This article is perfect for summer reading.

I saw the back of Mr. Zhou Zuoren drinking clear spring green tea with two or three people under the paper window of the tiled house, using an elegant ceramic tea set. I also yearn for a life where half a day's leisure is worth a lifetime of dreams. While drinking tea, did Mr. Lu Xun have another philosophical thought about drinking tea?

This is a book worth reading again and again. Such a book is thin but full of content. Rich and full of the essence of everyone. As a second time reader, I can only write this after reading it in a hurry. Any deficiencies will be supplemented by the third reading.

Moon's review of "From the Deep"

"From the Deep" is not so much a long letter written by Wilde to his lover in prison, but rather a look down into the abyss of his own heart. A cry to the Lord from the depths. A voice deep in the soul is beyond the reach of mortals and can only come once in a lifetime. We can only listen with gratitude.

Olde said: God is strange. They not only use our evil to punish us, but also use the beauty, kindness, compassion, and care in our hearts to destroy us.

Reading "The Deepest Place" will not be immune to its influence, bringing readers into a realm of self-reflection and regret.

The temptation of life, the choice between material and spiritual, good and evil, beauty and ugliness, there are so many things in life that for one reason or another, we have to make choices that are contrary to our original intentions.

The highlight of the book is that Wilde talks about art, imagination, Christ, and romanticism. He spoke brilliantly about two major themes, one is "Christ is the pioneer of the Romantic movement in life"; the other is "the relationship between artistic life and human life".

Through his guidance, we not only see beauty with our eyes and hear beauty with our ears, but also flowers bloom, apples turn red, and lark sing in our minds. Our rich imagination expands the space of beauty. !

Avatar comments on "Is Paris Burning?" 》

When I turn to the last page, I want to shout loudly to Adolf Hitler in Rastenburg (Wolf's Den): "It's not burned!"

Happily, if Choltitz's decision at the time was the opposite. So what would the bright, gorgeous, and fascinating romantic city of Paris be like? What will be the fate of the more than three million Parisians who lived there during the war? Can't imagine.

"Is Paris Burning?" " vividly and in detail describes the entire battle to liberate Paris in August 1944.

The two writers spent nearly three years collecting materials and interviewed more than 800 people, so that this work can ensure that everything has data, everyone has their whereabouts, and every sentence has its source.

On the other hand, they wrote the article in a lively and fascinating way, making people feel as if they are reading a gripping thriller novel and cannot put it down.

The translator is the famous Dong Leshan. The impact of translation on readers is not only elegance, but also highlights the letter, making documentary literature translation come alive!

Xiao Zhiduoduo commented on "Border Town"

The Nobel Prize was awarded to Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea". He said that every word of this novel is exquisite, not even the word "了" is included. Don't move around at will. This evaluation, after I read "Border Town" for the third time, I thought it was just right to use it to evaluate "Border Town".

Many literary critics interpret "Border Town" using various Western and very professional terms, such as metaphor. But I thought Shen Congwen's original intention in writing "Border Town" was pure, otherwise there would be no such unforgettable beautiful people, these stories, customs and people. I just want to treat it simply as a work of "love" and "beauty", to chew on the words and feel happy and at ease! As for the hidden worry and sadness under the words, it is probably like a wisp of smoke rising from the water, so there is no need to give a precise explanation.

The people in "Border Town" and the world of "Border Town" are only suitable to live in Shen Congwen's words. You can't see the charm just by taking them out. It has its own personality.

Shen Congwen said in the inscription that water taught him to think and to be lonely. Therefore, the stories he writes all take place near the water, and he is most familiar with the people and things near the water.

There is a sentence engraved on Shen Congwen's tombstone: "Think according to me, and you can understand me; think according to me, and you can know people."

Shen Congwen built a border town that is incomparably beautiful. The world, at the same time, this world, whoever comes close will get to know people, know beauty, and understand love!

Zhang Yiping's "Private Message@Them"

Sincerely recommend to everyone , reading this book, picked up many books again.

"Private Letters" is a collection of letters. The article invites more than 20 professionals, including scholars, writers, media people, and publishers, to each write a letter to "that person" in their hearts to express a question, a respect, and a metaphorical hurt in their hearts. meaning.

The recipients of the corresponding private messages are all masters in the fields of thought, literature, science, etc., including Confucius, Mozi, Han Feizi, Tao Yuanming, Lu You, Newton, etc.

In the dialogue between Zhou Shi and Tao Yuanming, he mentioned the relationship between literature and politics: If literature does not care about politics, politics will not lose much, at least not much; if politics cares about literature, literature will not be able to adapt to it. It’s hard to adapt even if you want to, and it’s not good to adapt even if you want to.

Literature cannot be separated from politics, but it cannot cater to politics. This is similar to what was mentioned in another conversation between Wang Xuetai and Du Fu in the book.

It was 1962, when Du Fu was selected as a world cultural celebrity. Guo Moruo, then chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, praised Du Fu as "the Gemini constellation in the history of poetry." But later, when he was fully opposed to classical literature, Guo Moruo wrote "Li Bai and Du Fu", mentioning Du Fu's class consciousness, family concept, desire for fame, landlord's life, religious superstition, and lifelong alcoholism? This is the influence of politics on literature.

The "Teisse" mentioned in Wu Yuetian's letter to France and the "Eraser" mentioned in Diao Dou's letter to Robbe Griet have both stayed quietly in my study. . It was just that I was young and ignorant at the time and did not cherish these two masterpieces. Now I want to pick them up again. Thank you to all the authors who wrote!

I have finished reading the book, but reading it once is not enough, and reading it briefly is not enough either! So be sure to find opportunities to study it carefully by comparing it with other books, monographs, and materials mentioned in the book!
