淑女必读的书单

这段时间crazy rich Asian 热映，电影很一般，但是我很好奇地把书听了一遍，电影变动很大，很可惜，降格为异常热闹的chic flick。

听完了第一本，又开始听第二本，china rich girl friend。

里面有个情节我觉得挺有意思。

那个大陆小明星虽然嫁入豪门却无法融入那个封闭的上流圈子，到处受到折辱。这时候，一个自称可以帮她脱胎换骨的导师，给她写下很多要点，从衣服，首饰，用餐，交通，都有极为详尽的指点，当然对我们这样的城市平民也就是听了一笑了之。

但是，导师还开了一条长长的书单，我觉得挺有意思的，记录下来，咱们也看看。 话说，开卷有益，多读点书总是没错的，没准还真的和上流淑女接近了一点呢，嘿嘿
