前段时间终于看完了丁丁，咖啡钱都能买几本书了。
今天看完了三本，（总共看好几个星期了），
Story or Not>还有。
讲Bertrand Russell在其数学领域的努力和成就，刚开始还很喜欢，看到
后面觉得故事有点散，总体感觉还是不错。貌似The New York Times #1 Bestselling
Graphic Novel.
超赞，故事很细腻，是我比较喜欢的类型。推荐
一看。作者Jason Shiga是UCB学数学出身的，呵呵，的作者也是哥大学数
学的，巧合吧。
在我看来是本很一般的书，没什么说的。 |

Sylvia Browne 之后, 我又看了另外一个人的书, James Van Praagh. 他叫自己 medium,

Sylvia Browne是这一类. Medium又不同, 他们的主要职能是和死去的人沟通. James V

作, 包括 Heaven and Earth, Reaching to Heaven: A Spiritual Journal Through Lif

发帖数: 720 | 15 "out" - 英译的日本推理小说。中译名“家庭主妇杀人案”。
这本书是去年收到的礼物，到今年才看了，因为老厚，而且一开头凶手就被摆明了。我对
别人选择的东西总持唯物主义的怀疑态度，尤其是这种根据 NO1 bestseller或是奖项而
选择的书，后来发现真是偏见啊，得奖的还是大家都忙着看的书自有过人之处，哪用得着
我来特立独行慧眼识书。
这本小说细致好看，译者是美国一大学教授，翻的也认真好看。它在众多的日本推理小说
里脱颖而出而赢得美国鬼子的芳心，据说是把日本推理小说的社会性发挥的更加国际化，
书里涉及巴西移民中国移民。不过在俺看来，这就是一本典型的female作家的小说，侧重
心理，氛围，情感的质地，个人的生活，观察多于洞察，描写多于判断。在这政治敏感的
时候，这本书并不敏感。但它确实比其它female（抓狂，微软拼音打不出这个中文字来）
作家的小说来的冷酷一点。
让我惊讶了一把的是查了作者的名字，是俺一度推崇的桐野夏生，N久前看过她的“濡湿
面颊的雨”，一起推荐。另一本soft cheeks也即将出版。 |
