Ok, 我大概不是世界上第一个这样做的人，但我很高兴自己发明了这个方法。拿出来野
人献曝一把。
最近在读 Stephen King 的新书 "11/22/63", 它的内容与美国甘迺迪总统被刺的历史
有关。作者考证的功夫做得十分详尽，连街名地址、大街上的街景等等，都有说明。例
如底下这段文字：
“... bus stopped at the corner of Oak Lawn and Wycliff ...There was a big
stone church on the corner. Lee sauntered over to the iron railing running
in front of it ..."
借由 Google Maps 的 street view 功能，我可以亲眼看到书中所描述的公车站牌、教
堂、与栏杆！即使书中所说的是五十年前的历史，但还是有许多东西至今未变，例如公
寓楼、房子等等。这种阅读方法，让我对书中描述的场景，有了第一手的深刻体会。
除了这种”小场面“以外，不久前重读 Tom Clancy 的旧作 Red Storm Rising 也很好
用。那本书是在讲第三次世界大战，场景遍布欧洲。利用 Google Maps，可以清楚看出
来军力部署，海上航线，部队行进路线等等。没有 Google Maps 的帮助，东南西北不
分，看得糊里糊涂，有了 Googal Maps ,我就可以得知为何易北河上的某条桥梁如此重
要，为何必须先拿下某个城市，才能确保补给路线等等。
建议各位，以后读书，可以开着电脑或手机，随时查阅地图或 street view, 非常好玩
滴！

Tales of the New World by Sabina Murray
裡面也提到用google map來輔助看這本書

发帖数: 6896 | 3 It's creepy. What made me buy this Stephen King book was also an interview
on NPR! And, according to you, on the same radio station, today there was
another interview mentioned Google Maps and reading. Although I didn't get
to hear that interview, but somehow, out of nowhere, in the middle of the
night, I decided to write a post on this same topic! And somehow, just a few
minutes after I made the post, you saw my post, decided to respond so that
I can connect all the dots. This is creepy.
What makes the whole thing even more creepy is ..... in this Stephen King's
book, there are lots of this kind of creepy coincidences. "The past
harmonizes.", as he calls it.
Maybe I am like George Amberson, I am a time traveller too. Maybe something
went wrong in the process, so I lost the memory of the time before I crossed
"the rabbit hole", the memory of who I really was and why and how I'm here.
I didn't know that I was a time traveller! But "the past harmonizes",
maybe all the coincidences I saw today are the way the past harmonizes
itself. Maybe the big machine with big toothy gears behind the universe is
trying to tell me I should go and find out my true identity ....
