A few days ago, a friend sent me a message saying that he hoped to recommend some books suitable for college students.
It has been many years since I graduated from college. I think if I recommend some books to you. After reading it, you will say, "Hey, these books are out of date ..."
Yes, as a post-80s girl, my university is six or seven years behind your present university. There will definitely be a time difference between the books we are interested in and the books you are interested in now.
At that time, almost all college students had read books by Han Han or Jing M. Guo. Because it was popular at that time, it was the cultural label of our time. And now, you are probably just like us at that time, watching what is popular.
Two days ago, a parent said that her daughter likes reading Keigo Higashino's books. Of course, I have also read Keigo Higashino's books. These days, I am reading his Worry-Free Grocery Store.
You see, with the development of the times, what we read is also changing. However, the 10 books I want to recommend to you today are all out of date.
What I want to tell you is that many books, especially those you think are out of date, are classics. And these classics will not lose their own value with the development of the times. You think it's out of date because you haven't read it, or haven't read it at all. ...
1 one hundred years of loneliness
What really matters in life is not what happens to you, but what you remember and how you remember it. ...
This is my favorite book in college. No, this is my favorite book by far.
In this book, the author Garcia Marquez tells the story of a family's loneliness for a hundred years. In this hundred years, all people are unloved and all people are suffering. Finally, a crystallization of love was born at home, but the child grew a pig's tail, and then the child was eaten by ants, and the whole town disappeared. ...
As long as you read this book, you have entered a magical world. You will be shocked by the author's powerful imagination, and at the same time you will feel ridiculous about the contents of the book. However, this does not hinder its appeal to you at all.
More importantly, it is also a book that truly interprets loneliness. All of us can understand loneliness, and we have read many articles about loneliness in Jane's books. However, few of us explore the eternity of loneliness.
And this book "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is an eternal exploration of loneliness. The author even concluded that only loneliness is eternal in this world. Once loneliness disappears, the world will cease to exist.
2 "Words on Earth"
Looking for him in the crowd, suddenly looking back, the man was in the dim light. ...
Reading Wang Guowei's "Words on Earth" is easy to be amazed.
This book will show you another world about poetry. Different from Tagore's Birds, Mr. Jing 'an's Ci Hua on Earth has more China characteristics. We often say that the three realms of life come from this book.
If you want to know what beauty is, you must read this book. This is a very beautiful book, tens of thousands of words, not a word is not beautiful, not an indecent paragraph.
When I was in college, I couldn't put it down. If you are interested in poetry and aesthetics, this book is worth reading.
3 "Ordinary World"
Life can't be arranged by others, you have to fight and struggle by yourself; No matter whether the result is happy or sad, it can be comforted that you have been living in this world. ...
Seeing this book is full of memories for literary young women born in 1980s!
This is an ordinary book because it tells the most ordinary things. I believe many rural children can find deja vu from this book. There is no miracle, no overnight fame, no overnight wealth. It tells the most ordinary people, the most ordinary people and the most ordinary reality.
However, it is precisely because it is ordinary that it is more instructive to us. Because we are all ordinary people. It will make us calm down, recognize the reality, and strive, struggle, endure setbacks, suffer hardships and face the future with the most tenacious center of the earth.
When I finished reading this book, I told myself that I was just an ordinary girl, so don't fantasize about what fell from the sky. Only diligence, hard work and struggle can make Sun Shaoan as successful.
4 "Zeng Guofan's Letter"
Hate, can not do without the word arrogance. ...
Zeng Guofan's letters from home, as the name implies, are some letters written by Zeng Guofan to his family. This book is all in the form of letters, and it also describes some daily chores. However, the insights contained in it are enough to make our eyes shine.
List a few and see if they can inspire you:
Mediocre people in the world, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, all lost to a lazy word; Talented people in the world, both ancient and modern, all lost to a brave word. Do you know why you didn't succeed Either because of laziness or because of pride ...)
If a person wants to stand on his own feet, he must be stubborn. (If boys are not stubborn, aren't they so spineless ...)
Books, vegetables, fish and pigs are the vitality of a family; Sleep less and do more, and one is angry. To be more lively, continue to stay up late and get up early! )
……
A lot of things we are confused about are in this book? It should be noted that you must take notes in this book. Because insights are hidden in trivial matters, you need to sketch them out in order to digest them well.
5 "besieged city"
Marriage is a besieged city. People outside the city want to go in, and people in the city want to come out. ...
This book was beyond my comprehension in college. Because although it is called a model of satirical novel, I don't know where its real value lies. In other words, I didn't understand the meaning of the title Fortress Besieged at first.
It was not until I got married that I really realized many things in this book. I really understand the sentence "Marriage is like a besieged city". Therefore, I hope that college students must read the Fortress Besieged by Mr. Qian Lao. Because maybe we can recite the famous classic sentences in the book, but I dare say that only when you are really married can you realize the greatness and value of this book. Only in this way can we truly understand how thorough Qian Zhongshu and his wife have insight into the world.
Of course, there are too many books on the market to guide marriage and love. What is sweet and cute and what is cool and handsome? Of course, I also read a few books occasionally. After all, we must keep pace with the times. But from the depth, this "Fortress Besieged" can make you think more.
6 "Pride and Prejudice"
If you have something on your mind, you should wait until you are alone.
I have read Pride and Prejudice several times. Because I first read it in high school. At that time, I only thought that Miss Elizabeth in it had great personality.
It was not until she went to college and read it again that she found that she had no personality and could think alone. She is not attached to anyone's thoughts, but lives in the way she likes.
In my opinion, this is a must-read book for women. Because it shows you how lovely and charming an independent, self-reliant and self-respecting woman is. This book tells you what you want as a woman, not what you should be. I dare say that I will fall in love with Elizabeth and Jane Austen after reading it twice.
Of course, when it comes to classic foreign classics suitable for women to read, there are simply too many. Red and Black, Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre and so on. However, this book inspired me the most. What is your most inspiring book?
7 Piao
Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.
Scarlett, a strong woman. In troubled times, she can be as tough, hard-working and self-reliant as a man, as if nothing would knock her down.
However, she is also a confused woman. She can't tell who she really likes. Some women like a man, perhaps not because they like him, but because he is not as infatuated with her as other men. She is one of the best examples.
But in any case, she is an amazing woman. From this woman, you will see infinite power. Even though her beloved Rhett left her in the end, she never gave up hope. From her, you will understand that survival is much more important than love.
So, those college girls who are hurt by spring and autumn all day, come and have a look. what is love ? Eating enough is what you should consider most.
8 "Caigen Tan"
Do not insult, look at the flowers before the court; Go or stay, look up at the sky, clouds are rolling and clouds are comfortable. ...
Sometimes, we like to learn some words through some books. Sometimes, we like that book through some words. For grassroots Tan, I belong to the latter.
Because I like the sentence "Don't disgrace your mission, watch the flowers bloom in front of the court;" I didn't know there was such a book. I like it.
This book is rarely included in the recommended bibliography, because it is a book of quotations, which is full of sentences about cultivation, life, life and birth. And I recommend it to you because it is the essence!
This book is especially suitable for college students. Because you can read it as a word. Read a sentence every morning and write down your feelings. I believe you will benefit a lot.
There is another reason to recommend this book, that is, for those sentence fans. Some college students don't like reading novels for professional reasons. They think it is too long. He likes to read short and pithy things, and this book is your best choice.
9 "Muslim Funeral"
Venting each other is the only way for the weak to cope with misfortune. ...
In fact, the biggest fear of reading is limitation. Once restricted, your mind will solidify. And people are always skeptical about what he doesn't know. He thinks that what he doesn't know doesn't exist.
This is a very sad thing. So when I recommended this book, I listed both China classics and foreign classics. I also dabbled in ethnic minorities, which is the book "Muslim Funeral".
This book will show you the existence of another novel world. If you are not Hui or Muslim, then this book will give you a general understanding of these.
It should also be noted that this book is a sad story. What's inside, most of the time, you will feel incredible, but it's true.
10 The Catcher in the Rye
The sign of an immature man is that he is willing to die bravely for a certain cause, and the sign of a mature man is that he is willing to live humbly for a certain cause. ...
Of course, the language in this book is a bit intense. Of course, in a sense, this book is too colloquial.
However, as a student, if you haven't read this book, you will regret it for life. Because, without reading this book, you won't know what your rebellion is; You don't know what understanding and freedom you want; You don't know the difference between mature men and immature men.
In America, when you graduate, reading The Catcher in the Rye is as important as getting the approval of your tutor. This book is simply the gospel of the students. Besides, what a great dream it is to be a catcher in the rye.
I really hope that every college student can have such a dream. Even if it sounds inappropriate and absurd.
But, dear friends, wouldn't it be a pity if you didn't have an alien dream in this most youthful period?
News:
Of course, these books may not be fully understood at this stage. But you must read it and remember it! Because they are called classics, they must be recognized by countless predecessors and have the value of becoming classics. As long as you remember, at some point in your life, it will definitely guide your life.
