Beijing Capital Library is near my home. I have a library card and often go shopping. The characteristic of the first picture is that there are few new books on the shelf, most of which were published ten or twenty years ago. According to my observation, it's not that they don't buy new books, but that fewer people borrow them, so interesting new books will be borrowed as soon as they are put on the shelves. However, I never lose heart. Every time I go, I still check on their new book reading rack to see if there are any fish that have escaped from the net. I found an interesting new book when I went there last month.

The Chinese name of this book is Book in Book, which is published by Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House. In August 2007, 1 won a small prize for borrowing such a new book from the library. The interesting points of this book are mainly the author and content. The writer is Well Lee, who graduated from the English Department of the University of Chicago. He knows six languages, including English, French, German, Italian, Latin and ancient Greek. He has been an editor in American and European publishing houses and a columnist in Shanghai Morning Post. Now he lives in Beijing and is a foreign language expert on CCTV English Channel.

Did you see anything interesting? This guy is amazing. He knows so many languages, but wait a minute. Why is there no Chinese in the language he understands? It's not,

He is an American-born China native who can only speak Chinese but can't write Chinese, so he wrote this book in English (English name: Conflicts of a Chinese ink-drinker) and some people translated it into Chinese. I don't know why his family didn't let him learn to write Chinese as a child. He can understand so many languages, but he hasn't learned to write Chinese characters. Is the difficulty of Chinese more than the sum of the six languages?

This book has 30 chapters, and each chapter has a theme. Under each theme, he introduced his feelings or gains from reading a western writer or work. The matter involved is really three thousand years. He has read Wan Li from Homer to Nie Luda. It's really amazing. This man is really a bookworm, but he is not dull, and he is very appetizing to me.

This book is prefaced by Xia Zhiqing and Yu Guangzhong. Xia Zhiqing said: "I have been in the United States for nearly 59 years, and I have never seen China youth who know more about the great tradition of western culture than Well Lee, from Plato and Aristotle to Britain, the United States, France and Italy in the twentieth century, and the masterpieces of famous artists in Eastern Europe and Northern Europe." Yu Guangzhong said: "This is a great book, a great book, a unique book written by a bookworm with outstanding talent for bookworms all over the world. Today, when the Internet wants to subvert books, it is especially worth reading by all scholars. "

In fact, it is wrong for Xia Zhiqing to call him a young man in China. This person holds a 100% American passport. Mr. Chen Yinque pointed out that race should not be divided by region or descent, but by culture. People like Well Lee, whose language and thinking are rooted in western culture, are certainly not from China, or even from the East. He didn't mention reading China's book. The Chinese translation of this book is elegant and fluent, and it is not boring to read, which should be attributed to the translator Yu Shanshan (Yu Guangzhong's daughter).

Last Sunday, my parents and I went to Xinhua Bookstore to buy books. I chose a book called Tunnel Scare, which is one of the series of Super Scare written by the famous American writer R.L. Stein. This is an interesting book, which greatly improved my courage after reading it.

The cover of this book is very interesting. A huge locust opened its jaws, bared its teeth and pounced on the melons. The pumpkins are so small compared with locusts, which shows how terrible giant insects are. I can't help thinking that if we humans destroy nature, it will lead to terrible consequences: on an isolated island, a mouse mutates because of human pollution, and it will grow to the size of a bear. ..

The content of this book is also very interesting. Nine-year-old Tara and eleven-year-old Nick's parents are nowhere to be found, and the haunted devil is constantly playing practical jokes. Nick's friend, the little boy Max, can only sneak into the dark tunnel leading to the ghost world to get news of Nick's parents. Max is a genius. He finally grew up from a super coward to a super brave man, experienced one mystery after another, and found the tunnel successfully.

Holding this book, I can't put it down, and the ink is on my face. I was intoxicated by the unspeakable beauty and read every page carefully. This technique is really interesting and brings me a lot of fun!

This is a travel book written by the Japanese. Sen? Kappa, a writer, is a representative figure of Japanese contemporary stage design and has won many awards. This book is called Peeping into India, which is the travel notes of the authors 1978 and 1983 during their two trips to India. This book is very interesting with pictures and texts. Although I am biased against the Japanese, I feel very uncomfortable after reading China's Travel Notes by Ryunosuke Akutagawa some time ago.

I saw the introduction of this book almost a year ago, and I liked it very much. I felt that book reviewers with ulterior motives were colluding with booksellers, so I simply ignored them. Last Sunday, when I was free, I went to Erya. I saw this book in front of the counter of the Sanlian Association. I picked it up and turned it over. Ha, I think it's different and the price is not high, so I bought it.

There is absolutely no need to "bite the bullet" to read this book. Anyway, I read it eagerly with a completely voluntary attitude. Reading 28 1 page in three days is not a historical record, but it is a rare speed in recent years. Although I have the habit of reading, it is rare to meet a book that makes people feel relaxed and happy, giving people such a relaxed reading state.

It is true that we are now in an era of word paper flooding. As long as it is printed in type and bound into a book, it can be called a "book" or even a "boutique book" with a beautiful appearance. But what readers care about is not the outer packaging of the book, but the content of the book, whether the deliberately combined words are interesting enough, whether they can capture the reader's heart in the first time, and whether they have devoted their enthusiasm and wisdom to the author. What readers want to feel is not the book itself, but whether the author is a person who loves life and a master of writing who appeals to the true state of mind and impresses readers with words. The essence of "book" and "reading" is something hidden behind words and beyond books and paper itself. Readers will find that the author's writing level is really impressive through reading.

Reading Sen? Kappa's Peeping into India gave me many pleasant feelings. Aside from the differences in race, nationality, living habits, religious background, thinking and values, I think Mr. Mei Wei and I have almost the same mentality in terms of my understanding of travel and the mentality people follow during their travels.

Pay close attention to the living conditions of local ordinary people and think that this is also a key point that we should pay attention to when going out for a long trip. I like hanging out with ordinary people, chatting, eating, drinking and pulling things, which is also my happiest thing. Including chatting with taxi drivers, ticket sellers and shop assistants, are all very interesting things. Sister Wei went to a foreign country, and it was difficult to speak a foreign language, but she still couldn't stop his desire to speak nature. For me, when I go to a distant place, I will consciously imitate the local accent and speak the local dialect. Although it is strange, as long as I speak seriously, it is easy to resonate with the locals and get recognition from others. This feels great.

I like to go to those inaccessible places in the scenic spot. The higher the better, the less people are, the more interesting it is. I always have a preconceived feeling. When I see something or hear a story, I can never stop imagining ... Hehe, this is also my habit! I can't help but associate what I have seen with the experience I have had, or reluctantly combine it with the books I have read and heard, and often feel smug that I am superior. Hehe, this problem is unique when I travel alone.

Reading Mr. Mei Wei's book has a feeling of happiness. More importantly, his book aroused my strong interest in going to india tourism-perhaps this is the value of a good book!

There is little space in the book to introduce those famous scenic spots and describe the scenery along the way. Mr. Mei Wei's book is more about his travel process, Indians and Indian things he saw from his perspective, and the specific details of his contact with Indians-how the taxi driver bargained with him, what the uncle who sold water talked with him ... Think about these things, all people who travel outside will encounter them, and they will take up most of our travel time, but who can record all these trivial things with such a happy and inclusive attitude and record so much? From these small details, I realized that Mr. Mei Wei has a childlike innocence and a kind and optimistic soul. If anything, it is that he still holds an open and inclusive attitude. These are the most valuable, and you may not have such personality charm when you travel around the world.

Meeting an interesting book is actually meeting a funny and cheerful person. Reading Mr. Mei Wei's book is like traveling around India hand in hand. Occasionally, his intentional humor also added a lot of fun to my journey.
