“洋文观止”

行动出灵感,灵感不出行动
打印 被阅读次数

周末,在书市上淘到了三本书,满足了又一个愿望:

1 - Portnoy's Complaint ( 作者 Philip Roth)
2 - The Brothers Karamazov( 陀斯托耶夫斯基 :>)
3 - Atlas Shrugged ( 作者 Ayn Rand).

好了,“洋文观止”,今后我不打算刻意去买书找书了,先把架上收罗的读掉一点 ( 按目前的速度,这是很艰难的任务 ) 。

有一长时期,由于工作紧张繁重,我几乎没摸过书。现在,能抽空读点,两下比较,才发现:读书于我是充实内心的一个手段,我与所谓的“知识界”隔绝已经太久,不读书,思维完全停滞,头脑空白一片。

我不敢想像,如果错过了物理学家费曼 (Feynman) 的演讲 Los Alamos From Below , 那会错过多大的乐趣?要是没有读过塞林格的 The Catcher in the Rye ,那又会失去多少“营养”?望着架上还没有读过的那些书,我知道类似的缺憾肯定还有不少 .

话说回来,我看人们买书很多时候也就满足一下 fetish , 其实是个心理安慰,是否“有空”去看,不一定就那么要紧了

大学时代,看见书就觉得是珍宝,别的钱舍不得,买书很舍得,买得还不少。但学业繁重,读得不多,“等明天”。“明天”来了美国,学业之外,还要养家,更兼当年买的书都留在国内了,二十年间,读的书屈指可数。二十余年后,特意从中国把那些书装箱运到美国,运费超过了当年买书钱若干。翻开那些书,书页既黄又脆,很难读了。在书架上又放了十来年,还是没读,终于扔掉了。

是有声书重圆了我的读书梦。上班反正在家,一日三餐、洗菜洗碗、跑步走路都可以听书,一年竟然可以听将近百本。人生大乐也。

老兄列的这三本,都还没有听过。打算先听“The Brothers Karamazov”,再听“Atlas Shrugged”。就算今年的目标吧。
