My wife said to me, "Some books are destined for you. If you go today, they will all be there. If you leave tomorrow, they will still be there until one day, you take them all home. I'm not saying that you have a good eye, nor that others lack interest in reading. I just want to say that there is really no room for books in our house. Buying books is a good thing, especially buying genuine books at a discount, but I can't help but take them home in bundles. "
Winter vacation life Sketch: I bought some books.
Years ago, there were often book stands at the entrance of Daguan Garden. Every day, I take my children for breakfast. I always go for a walk. Every time I fail, I will bring back some books. These books seem to be specially prepared for me-
The Prisoner's Notes written by Yan Yi is a memoir, which recorded the poet's experience during the Cultural Revolution in a detailed and in-depth way. The truth of the details is the most touching. There is no doubt that this is a work that shocked Lamy. I lay under the covers, holding a book outside the covers with bare arms, staring at the five-watt light bulb at the bedside, and began to read this book. By dawn, this 200,000-word book had been written unconsciously. Through this book, I have a new understanding of the Cultural Revolution.
Contemporary American Printmaking Art is a big book, with the size of 16 pages, copperplate color printing and nearly 300 pages in hardcover. The price is 198 yuan, but I actually only spent 19 yuan 80 cents. I am interested in printmaking for two reasons. One is that Lu Xun likes printmaking very much, and the other is that most books are printmaking. Some of my beautiful book tickets are prints, which are really refreshing. Through this book, I can also see that China's printmaking art has fallen far behind the United States, and in recent decades, China's art has also fallen behind.
Michelangelo and the Pope's ceiling is an interesting book, which shows me another Michelangelo. He is naive and persistent, even a little conceited. He is obsessed with carving the Pope's tomb, but the Pope always makes him do things he doesn't like. Bronze sculpture is not his specialty, but he made a bronze statue of the Pope perfectly. Wet murals are not his specialty, but the Pope gave him the ceiling painting of the Sistine Chapel. Through this book, I first learned the drawing details of wet murals, and then I realized that wet murals are much more difficult to draw than egg paint and oil paint. This 300-page book only cost more than three yuan, and it took two nights to read it.
Heidi's report on sexology, Men and Emotion are two real classics, and anyone interested in sociological research should read them. All the conclusions in this book are based on investigation, and each conclusion has strict argumentation, which is worth learning from China scholars. It's no good studying behind closed doors. We should investigate the society deeply. Through this book, I also see that China's sexology research has fallen far behind the United States. American scholars have a much deeper understanding of human beings than China scholars, while only a few scholars in China, such as Li Yinhe, have really made in-depth research in this field. This is a pity. These two books total more than 1000 pages, less than 10 yuan.
The Secret of Li Shutong's Second Marriage, the language of this book is particularly commendable, very smooth and beautiful, and friends who write documentary literature may wish to learn it; The film cartoon "Pride and Prejudice" is a book worth collecting, and all the pictures in it are dug out from the film. The above two books add up to only five yuan.
In addition, there are some movie literary scripts, such as Luo Ting, The Dawn is Silent here, The Hunter's Notes, etc. If you combine them with movies, they will be very interesting.
There is also a book about calligraphy, which has been put in school, but the title has been forgotten. It is also a well-made book, which is really worth buying and collecting. I was still reading this book the day before yesterday, and it actually mentioned three cliff carvings in Jining: Zoucheng Tieshan Cliff Carving, Gangshan Cliff Carving and Wenshang Buffalo Cliff Carving.
