和twilight在情节上有很多相似点 但是更喜欢new moon 感觉不管是作者还是人物 都在成长 内外都复杂化了 虽然到了最后各种矛盾才激发出来 也给eclipse留了很大的卖点 哈哈哈。。今天拿到书了。。
edward和jacob很像 都完美得很不完美 唯一能想到的不同就是他们的语言 jacob是个实在人 不玩花里胡哨的 edward不愧是百岁老人 说话有模有样的 脸不红 心不跳。。比如快到结尾时的一段告白 有点搞。。
before you, bella, my life was like a moonless night. very dark, but there were stars—points of light and reason…and then you shot across my sky like a meteor. suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. when you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. i couldn’t see the stars anymore. and there was no more reason for anything.
这就是读书报告了。。我也很失语。。发现这书一本比一本厚。。eclipse计划二月中旬看完吧。。大家新年好!

确实是本很怪诞的书 涉及了很多生活话题 比如枪和游泳池哪个更危险 比如KKK党和房地产经纪人有什么共同点 比如小黑和小白的名字有什么不同 比如对艾滋的恐惧能不能改变人的性取向 比如为什么某些人那么热衷于投票 比如父母对孩子成长的影响
第一版的书一共六章 每章针对一个问题 修订版的又加了些来自其他渠道的文章
1. what do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common?
2. how is the ku klu klan like a group of real-estate agents?
3. why do drug dealers still live with their moms?
4. where have all the criminals gone?
5. what makes a perfect parent?
6. perfect parenting, part II; or: would a roshanda by any other names smell as sweet?
简单附上本座的答案
1. they both cheat.
2. they both take the advantage of information asymmetry.
3. they (foot soldiers) actually do not make much money.
4. they are not born because of legalized abortion.
5. it is what parents are rather than what parents do. for example, well-educated, smart, hard-working parents are more likely to have successful children. while reading to the children every day or taking them to the museums does not matter much.
6. yes. a name matters. it is the reflection of parents’ life and/or expectations.
看完最后一章 喜欢上两个大俗名 曾经是很受米国白人喜欢的名字 emma和jake 没有特别的原因 deja vu吧 以后我们家孩子就叫这俩名字了
这书还挺火 碰见了好几个看过这书的活人。。还挺好玩的 严重推荐。。。
