发帖数: 2407 | 1 先声明，全属个人口味，每个人爽点不同（喜欢的地方），毒点不同（受不了的地方）。
觉得魔戒凑合能看，非常不喜欢冰与火之歌，龙枪觉得一般，黑暗精灵之类也一般。
当然还有一个因素是我基本都是看的英文版，所以如果几章过后还没觉得喜欢就放下不
读了。这些奇幻的书英文版都很容易找到下载。
下面说喜欢的。
1.韩国的龙族。不算大作，但是名气小，因此首先说。很有特色，很有风格，故事性强
，幽默，又有一定的哲学性。
2.地海传说系列。
Ursula Le Guin’s The Wizard of Earthsea (Earthsea trilogy)
非常喜欢，还曾经翻译过一段贴在水木上。后来的几本是两三天内看完的。
3. Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time。前面几本相当好看，我好像是看到第5还是
第6卷的时候受不了了，去wiki看剧情了。
4. Tad William’s Memory, Sorrow, Thorn saga
这个也是不错的。
5. Robin Hobb’s Assassin’s Trilogy
这个只看了第一本，还行。 |

这一点俺原来没注意到, 现在注意到了, 有趣有趣.
阿西莫夫身后由出版社选了三个如日中天的中年科幻
作家来续写Foundation系列, 人称Second "Foundation
Trilogy". 这三位便是所谓的Three B's:
Gregory Benford
Greg Bear
David Brin
Benford那本是"Foundation's Fear", 出版于97年3月,
Bear那本是"Foundation and Chaos", 出版于98年3月,
Brin那本叫做"Foundation's Triumph", 将于今年5月
出版.
俺觉得有趣的是, Cosm是Benford的作品, Amazon上头
这项"Customers who bought this book also bought"
显示的另外两本也都是Benford自己的书, 而唯一一本
Second "Foundation Trilogy"中的书, 却不是Benford
自己的"Foundation's Fear", 而是Bear的"Foundati |

发帖数: 4391 | 3 The Heechee Saga, by Frederick Pohl
Review Copyright 1999 Edward McArdle
I picked up the trilogy on a dealer's table. The big attraction was the
title of the second novel, Beyond the Blue Event Horizon. Since all three
books were there I bought them all. The others were Gateway, and Heechee
Rendezvous. When I was halfway through the third book I noticed in a shop
that this was one of those trilogies with four parts! In fact, there is a
fifth book, The Gateway Trip |

Greg Bear's part of the second "Foundation Trilogy" is
titled "Foundation and Chaos." That is the second book
in this new trilogy. Gregory Benford wrote the first book
"Foundation's Fear," and David Brin wrote the third book
"Foundation's Triumph." I think it was Benford whose
reputation was hurt for his foundation book. The other
two authors(Bear and Brin) both enjoyed quite a success
for their foundation books. |

发帖数: 32 | 5 My favorite fantasy novels are the Lord of the Rings trilogy. There are tons
of other fantasy series, but the story is more or less like LOTR. I have tried
several other "famous" fantasy novels, like the Wheel of Time by and
Dragonlance trilogy, but don't like them very much.
The prelude novel to LOTR, named the Hobbit, is simpler and earsier to read. I
found it very entertaining, too.
Harry Potter is also a good fantasy series, and it is exceptional because it
does not follow the canonical fan |

咱Nemesis看过，没什么印象了，还是《Foundation Trilogy》（一套三本）深刻。 人家
是照着Edward Gibbon的《罗马帝国衰亡史》写的，以星际帝国的衰亡写人类历史，大家

Amazon读者评《Foundation Trilogy》，比《Nemesis》整整高一星。 |

这些都是新手比较容易看进去的经典。
还有一些是要成为硬核科幻迷以后才有足够力气钻进去，一钻到底的：
Dune, Neuromancer, Mars Trilogy, Cryptonomicon。
也可以看看本版2081, 52-55, 142,143, 2350, 4653, 4669, 4680等等
俺以前写的一此综述性文章，看能不能激起一些兴趣。 |

虽然毛泽东是Frank Dikötter三部曲的核心人物，但它们不是传记，而是从1945
年到1976年毛统治时代中国一段引人入胜的历史。
这三本书不是按时间顺序发表的。最先发表的是《毛的大饥荒》（Mao's Great Famine
），涵盖的是1958年至1962年。这是一个地球这边大多数人可能并不知道的恐怖故事。
其洞察性的描述无疑引发了对毛生涯中其他时段的兴趣，到底发生了什么。
作为香港大学的教授，Frank Dikötter向外界人士讲述了这个故事。来自荷兰的
Frank Dikötter流畅地描述了有意思的细节。
《解放的悲剧》（The Tragedy of Liberation）涵盖了在中国革命当中共产党人的胜
利，提供了对人类堕落的深刻见解。
美国总统哈里·杜鲁门派出他最值得信赖的顾问乔治·马歇尔将军前往中国，试图促成
蒋介石领导的国民党与毛泽东领导的共产党形成联盟。

The U.S. Tried to Build a New Fleet of Ventilators. The Mission Failed.
13年前，一群美国公共卫生官员提出了一项计划，以解决他们认为医疗系统的一个重要
弱点：呼吸机短缺。
当时的呼吸辅助机往往笨重、昂贵，而且数量有限。他们的计划是建立一支庞大的廉价
的便携式设备队伍，以便在流感大流行或其他危机时部署。
预算拨下来了。签订了一份联邦合同。工作开始进行。
然后，事情突然偏离了方向。一家价值数十亿美元的医疗设备制造商收购了加州的一家
小公司 受雇设计新机器。该项目最终生产出了零台呼吸机。
这一失败使廉价呼吸机的开发至少推迟了半年，使医院、州政府和联邦政府失去了储备
的能力。联邦政府在2014年与另一家公司重新开始，其呼吸机去年才获批，产品还未交
付使用。
