[updated] Recently I’ve been browsing thru online books store and discussion boards. I’m on my semi-annual book hunting.
Here are the books I consider buying:
Fiction:
作廢的捷克人 – LB (mys)
佳人之死 – Georges Simenon (mys)
拔一根頭髮.在幻想的森林中漫步 – Roger-Pol Droit
工作與時日神譜 – 赫西俄德
我曾侍候過英國國王 – Bohumil Hrabal
錯置體 – 藍霄 (mys)
長安亂 – 韓寒 (武俠)
遍地梟雄 – 王安憶
non-fiction:
宇宙、諸神、人：為你說的希臘神話 – 凡爾農
君主論 – 馬基雅維里
逛書架 – 陳建銘
煮字為藥 – 徐國能
藏著的中國 – 余秋雨
but in fact, I haven’t finished reading the ones I brought back from book fair this year. The abundant collection in local public library has filled most of my time.
btw, Bohumil Hrabal is the one who wrote “ilis hluicna spramots” (published by 大塊, which also published “be message” and many other great fiction.) I remember that I can’t really appreciate “ilis hluicna spramots”, though it received lots of praises. I wonder if I’d like “Obsluhoval isem anglick’eho”…
add some going-to-be-published Mysteries:
如果還有明天 席尼．薛爾頓／著 小知堂文化
殺人上癮 夏佩爾 & 烏奴奴／著 小知堂
really glad that there are more and more publisher took some interests in this area.
Reading English is still a pain for me… it’s too slow. (Okay~~ I AM too slow)
