9. House of Sand and Fog By Andre Dubus III; 365 pages 《尘雾家园》,安德鲁·杜鲁斯三世著(365页) Because as much as it hurt, we couldn't look away. 推荐理由:它是如此的痛彻心扉,以至于我们无法移开目光。 Combining unadorned realism with profound empathy, House of Sand and Fog is a devastating exploration of the American Dream gone awry. 《尘雾家园》一书将赤裸裸的现实与人们心底的同情心一同展现出来,深度探索了已走偏的美国梦。 10. Eat, Pray, Love By Elizabeth Gilbert; 352 pages 《美食、祈祷与恋爱》,伊丽莎白·吉尔伯特著(352页) Because we'll probably never embark on a trip like this -- in fact, we're sitting in a cubicle. But we adored going along for the ride. 推荐理由:我们将来也许绝不会踏上如书中所述的这种旅程,事实上,我们正坐在小隔间里。然而我们享受这本书给我们带来的旅行。 Culinary delights, rigorous spiritual searching and exhilarating romance (in that order) were all in store, and we devoured every detail. Afterward, we couldn't stop talking about Gilbert's adventures in self-discovery -- and our own. 这本书中依次讲述了作者的烹调之乐、严肃的精神追寻以及愉悦的浪漫史。我们耽读每一个细节。之后我们情不自禁地会谈论起吉尔伯特的自我找寻之旅,再延伸到我们自己。 |
