我的2019年度读书报告
查看话题 >慢慢读 | 2019 读过的书
今年读了15本书,与去年持平。 中英文都有,但是读英文书花的时间占大头。 中文书用中文写读书笔记,英文书用英文写读书笔记。
中文书 (6本):
1) 《生活在别处》
“只要我们活着,我们就是在自我欺骗,但是必须好好活着。“ 看这本书的时候,也同一时间在Netflix上看了性爱自修室第一季, Sex and Love Around the World, 相似的地方是:我们需要诚实地面对自己的身体,欲望,和心理状态。
2) 《亲爱的安德烈》
这段时间特别低迷,自己特别想有一个能够有一个像龙应台一样倾听自己的父母。 以下是我喜欢的几句话: “生活是抑郁的,人生是浪费的,可是整个社会,如果历史拉长来看,却是在抑郁中逐渐成熟,在浪费中逐渐积累能量。“ “它对别人也许微不足道,对我们自己,每一次痛苦都是绝对的,真实的,很重大,很痛。“
3) 《朝花夕拾》
鲁迅是一个耳熟能详的名字,他是在初高中出现频率最多的作家。多年以后再拿起这本书才发现,写的真好啊。(还好不用做阅读理解,哈哈)
4) 《人间失格》
跟了一次风,看到太多人提到了这本书。整本书很压抑,可能日本文化就是如此吧。 这本书我能够共情的地方比较少,最有感触的一句话:“在这样的世上,要想自个儿毫无愧疚地生存下去,是不可能的。“
5)《如何有效阅读一本书》
“读书的体验比本身更重要。“ 6) 《老檳城.老生活》
完全是为了了解槟城而看的一本书,还是对那段旅行有很多帮助的。
英文书 (9本): 1)Singapore at Random
This book is a gift by my creative director (he is so fun to work with). As the name suggests, it is nothing but random stuff about Singapore. The fun facts still resonate as I have been exposed to them often in my past job. An interesting read indeed. 2)The Invisible Manuscript My first ever poetry collection on the subject close to heart. 3)Tiny Beautiful things
"So wise and utterly hilarious" Another beloved gift by my line manager. This book is a collection of Q&A by Cheryl for her fans, via real-life examples. It is never preachy, but convincing, and indirectly provoked my desire to write and read voraciously. 4) The Kite Runner
"For you, a thousand times over" - Enough said.
5)Pride and Prejudice
Pride and Prejudice has always been my favourite, from movie to novel. After reading this, my journey of English literature has officially taken off. 6) Call Me by Your Name
Got to know the renowned movie first before the novel. It was beautifully written that made itself an instant classics, not mentioning the story that transcends gender and age. Love is love. 7) Technique for Producing Ideas
The thinnest book ever! I finished this in less than an hour. This is a lifelong approach not only for creatives, but also for strategists.
8) Start with Why
Another book by my beloved manager. She taught me to understand every intent behind every behaviour - just like how Simon created his Golden Circle. Find the why. Start with why.
9) Little Women
Well, the reason for reading this book is twofold: 1) In Friends, Joey borrowed this book from Rachel, which caught my interest. 2) The latest movie Little Women by Emma Watson and Timothée Chalamet just saw its debut. And to my astonishment, there is a sequel for this named Good Wives. (which i am yet to read)
明年的一些期望: 1)尽量少买书,库存还有7-8本没读 2)想多读英文名著,更加熟悉地道写作方式 3)要多写,一定要有输出 4)不求数量,只求质量,所以选择书籍很重要 Happy Reading.
