FROM 101.86.0.* - 书名：The Princess Bride : S Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure
作者：William Goldman
标签：英语、童话
Brandon Sanderson今年稍早时候打破KickStarter纪录的惊奇四书，其中第一本，根据放出的预览版本及Explanation，灵感是源自本书。那么，在等待Tress明年年初出版的时候，就读一读这本桑老师推荐的书吧。
这本书的Genre有点难以界定。它用童话的笔触，构架了一套奇幻小说的设定，情节看似简单，却又在你意想不到的时候曲径通幽。
书的前言非常长，占了全书10%的篇幅，本身就是个关于父爱（以及其他一些东西的）有趣的小故事；还假托是根据一本（实际为作者虚构的）更长的小说缩写而成。缩写的过程写得有模有样，我一度信以为真，差点就要去找原版了——我这人最讨厌abridged version了。
期待明年桑老师对这篇经典老童话的全新诠释！
本书是桑老师惊奇四书的第一本（左一，封面未定）的 "direct inspiration"

从友邻的推荐中得知，马亲王的这个中篇发表在《收获.长篇小说2021春卷》，遂找来拜读。（注：最近刚出了单行本。）
可能是我想象力过剩吧，阅读时总拿小说中的事跟过去几个月中的现实对号入座。

结合时事临时找来的阅读，其实跟时事关系不大。小说看似零散，但纷杂的线头交织得不错。

FROM 101.86.0.* - 书名：Upgrade
作者：Blake Crouch
标签：英语、科幻、新书
Blake这次终于不玩弄时间了，改玩近年来很火的基因编辑。一贯地action-intensive、一贯地science info dump（但依旧跟主题接合得不是很好）。反对人类基因修改的理由有点牵强。尾声里的主题升华做得不错，但如果跟前文伏笔能结合得更紧密一点就更好了。
Another sci-fi bestseller by Blake. Action intensive as always, science info dump (albeit coupling with the theme a bit too loosely) as usual, but he switches his focus from time manipulations to gene editing this time. As a dramatization of moral debates over gene editing, the story flows titillatingly enough. The catch in the pro-side sounds a bit artificial and cheap, though. An extra star for the subliming twist in the epilogue.

故弄玄虚的意识流描写，带来了阅读的困难却没有相应的阅读享受。

FROM 101.86.0.* - 书名：The Last Lecture
作者：Randy Pausch
标签：英语、自传
"The Last Lecture" made its way into my TBR through my reading group rec a while ago, but I had not picked it up until last week, when a reverent relative of mine passed away and I decided that reading this book could be a part of the remembrance.
My choice pays off well in multiple ways. Both Prof. Pausch and my passed relative were of the academic type; his VR and computer expertise, although only sparsely mentioned, intrigues me a lot, also providing a glimpse of VR technology in its incipient age; his wisdoms toward his students and his children are very enlightening in my relationship with my kid.
Prof. Pausch is a fun person, a distinguished scientist, a responsible husband and father, a vocal lecturer, as well as a competent writer. This book adds a plethora of thoughts and anecdotes besides his actual lecture, making the points richer. Unfortunately, given his condition, not every section is written in an optimal way, which is totally understandable. Some book reviews point out that this book is better read piecemeal rather than in one sitting, which I tend to concur and happened to have actually done so (I was reading a tome which is inconvenient to carry with me, so I read this e-book when I was out).

FROM 101.86.0.* - 书名：The Book Eaters
作者：[英] Sunyi Dean
标签：英语、都市奇幻、新书
小说是十几年前和现在的双线结构，同一个女主角Devon。十几年前，这个食书族共有六个家族，分别隐居在英国几个偏僻的角落；而现在，主角带着儿子隐居在都市里。因为他儿子患有一种食书族的罕见病，不能吃书，只能吃human mind，她一边寻找解药、一边引诱人上门喂儿子…… 虽是作者的首部长篇，但她把双线处理得相当专业，既不晦涩，也没有向闪回线剧透——现实线反而给闪回线增加了不少巧妙的悬念。
“The Book Eaters” is the debut fantasy novel by Sunyi, an accomplished SF&F short story writer in UK.
According to the extended preview prior to the release, the premise is intriguing with a hint of dark humor, not unlike the urban fantasy by Neil Gaiman. The heroine, Devon, is a fugitive from a rare species who feeds on books rather than regular food (thus the name). Nowadays only six manors remain of this Book Eater species in UK, all located in desolate areas. Devon opts to live secretly in an urban area, because her son is born with a rare illness rendering him unable to eat books but having to feast on human minds. Devon lures victims for his son while looking desperately for the antidote, a now-lost medicine called Redemption.
The fantasy unfolds in two storylines, alternating between the present time and a series of flashbacks of Devon’s early years. This structure is not exactly unheard of, but it requires a masterful handling to avoid either being overly obscure or the present time spoiling too much to the flashbacks. And Sunyi delivers the story just that professionally, the occasional present time revelations actually adding suspense into the flashbacks rather than spoiling the latter.
This mixture of urban fantasy, fairy tale and noir features princesses, knights, dragons and manors in a contemporary UK intricately.
part 1 这一段太有意思了，忍不住翻译了一下：
“他现在能像你我一样吃书了。不过，没有书齿，他啃起封皮来会很艰难。建议你给他吃印刷或者手写的书页，他一样可以从中吸收信息，就不用吸食人脑了。他写字的本领仍然保留，这点他会比普通的食书族强。但别让他吃他自己写的东西，不然会反胃的。
