1. Breams gives me hiccups (F, Done, 1759/10000 stars, meaningfully hilarious anecdotes with sensitive touches from different perspectives. Forgot I said how many "damn" while reading the book. Tho some jokes seem cliche, it does not affect the experience at all, consider this book's from a while ago. Would read it again if I get bored)131Please respect copyright.PENANA4VFKSmt1ru
2. 阿Q正傳 (F, 讀完。荒唐,十分有趣。周生定是穿越回去的未來人,不然筆下那些狹隘自私的人,苦大仇深瑟瑟縮縮的生活態度, 居高臨下外強中乾挫弱扶強的民風,在百多年後看起來依然似曾相識就如身臨其境?阿Q不愧是有自己品牌的人,做人做到如此靈活闊達也是世間罕有,某程度上真令人佩服。整體看來,躺著的人們將彼此推進噬人的黑洞裡;黑洞日益膨脹,人們卻不願起來,又盼又恨下一位可憐蟲來得不夠快, 又讚揚黑洞阻擋了陽光,讓自己安眠好睡呢。)
3. Metamorphosis (F. Done, in my shallow understanding I see the writer is trying to judge materialism/ capitalism; how the family and society are cold and cruel after seeing the once provider, who is also their son/ someone they are familiar with, turned into something they need to take care of. It is crazy how poverty and responsibilities would turn the closest family into monsters that would hurt their closest ones, even tho Greg is the actual one that turns into the actual " monster " Decency= Appearance= Respect= Ability to make money. Sad to see how the sisters' attitude had changed, and even sadder to see how Greg died with peace of mind. To be honest, what the writer shows in the book can still be shown in today's society, the values are no different. Time flies but people are the same. This is a fiction. yet realistic af. The writer illustrates this in such a calm yet vivid way, that I got chills the first time I started the audiobook. I think the British accent got me too. That was 3 am on a manless hill. I still don't understand why I do this to myself.
4. When breathe becomes Air ( NF, Done, To find happiness is to read more, so you can know your meaning of life. I might need more wisdom to tell why they still decide to have a child. I might know, or not. This book tells me it is of utmost importance to do things we like if they find us meaning, even if that means being the mercury orbiting around the sun. )
5. • 詭祕之主 (F, 完)
6. Can't hurt me (NF, dropped. Something about this book is off. It keeps telling what makes the author get through one of the difficult phases but it never mentions what happened later that those methods do not work for him anymore and makes him fall back to his previous pattern again. This first half of the book is about him in bad shape, doing something crazy, and becoming a better shape. He sounds like having a prolonged version of bipolar instead of overcoming his low and finding something consistent. )
