今年到目前为止，读了40几本书。很多书撂爪就忘，书合上转天就可以打开当新书看。但还是有一些留下了比较深刻的印象，大多数是因为喜欢，有个别是缘于痛恨，都一并记录如下。ImagineArgentina,byLawrenceThornton

希望几个月后生活可以恢复到二月份之前到情形，而目前的状态只是暂时的，虽然这个暂时还在一直延续。这些电影都是在AMAZONVIDEO或者NETFLIX上看的。MidnightinParis是我喜欢的在欧洲取景的浪漫文艺电影。WOODYALLEN近年作品。看过两三遍。喜欢镜头里的巴黎和电影配乐。Tourist还是欧洲取景。电影里的威尼斯看起来美得不得了，实际的威尼斯-至少我曾亲临的那个-只是个照骗。剧情[阅读全文]

2018中文书读了14本。都是从淘宝上买完集运的。书的质量参差不齐，有很多鸡肋。不过以下4本是很满意的：黄永玉：沿着塞纳河到翡冷翠（每次读黄永玉都艳羡地不得了。羡慕他的才情，更敬仰他的豁达心胸。这本书读文并茂，读来赏心悦目。）舒国治：穷中谈吃（舒国治的文字一如既往地清雅，即使在描写红烧肉的时候，仍是如此。哈哈）焦桐：暴食江湖（这本书知道很久[阅读全文]
