DonnaTartt到现在为止只写过两本书，中间相隔十年。最近的一本是前年出的TheLittleFriend。再上一本也就是她的debut叫做TheSecretHistory。TheSecretHistory有些悬疑的成分。在我看来算是mythicalsuspense。虽然故事的结果在第一页就交代了，但是由于Donna在书里对气氛人物的描写细致精妙功力老到的原因，一旦开始读了，不到最好一页是绝没有放下的可能。看完了久久难以从书里营造的氛围中[

前几周，国会(？)通过法案禁止某些州的医用大麻“行为”。就是从这以后，有慢性疼痛的病人不可以再合法地用大麻止痛了。大麻虽然是毒品，但是对人的伤害似乎比的海洛因一类的“正规”毒品来的少。当然总是不用为妙，如果不是万万得以的话。网络于我有如大麻。虽然知道沉迷于网络会让我脱离现实，可总是不能自拔。前一阵子倒曾经试着戒网。一开始觉得还不错，每[

好看的电影。比千与千寻更加精致。让我在瞬间忘掉细微的烦恼，专著于人生的大意。救美的英雄爱慕虚荣，懦弱，耍脾气，同时好看得象个瓷娃娃-虽然好象不符合fantasy的定义，但是却让人觉得。。。舒服。很艺术哪。
