Because I’m a data guy, I like to look at my reading list and see if any trends emerge. This year, I picked up a bit more fiction than usual. It wasn’t a conscious decision, but I seemed to be drawn to stories that let me explore another world.

Along withA Gentleman in Moscow and An American Marriage, I read The Friend by Sigrid Nunez (very bizarre and very good), Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell (amazingly clever but a bit hard to follow), and The Rosie Result by Graeme Simsion (I love this series). I even picked up a short story collection in David Foster Wallace’s Brief Interviews with Hideous Men.
继《莫斯科绅士》与《因此美国式婚姻》清楚,我读了西格丽德努涅斯的《朋友朋友》(既特别怪诞又特别出色),大卫·米歇尔的《云图》(这系列故事奇妙至极,不会跟上进度之外些难度),之外格雷姆·辛浦生的《罗西结局》(The Rosie Result,中文名暂译)(我很我们就不喜欢这套书),即使 还读了大卫·福斯特·华莱士的《女人喜欢 喜欢 众生相》里少是个短篇小说集。

An American Marriage《因此美国式婚姻》
By Tayari Jones /塔亚莉·琼斯【美】
An American Marriage, by Tayari Jones. My daughter Jenn recommended that I read this novel, which tells the story of a black couple in the South whose marriage gets torn apart by a horrible incident of injustice. Jones is such a good writer that she manages to make you empathize with both of her main characters, even after one makes a difficult decision. The subject matter is heavy but thought-provoking, and I got sucked into Roy and Celestial’s tragic love story.
我两个孩子珍妮独家推荐我读这本小说,它讲述了南方一对黑人夫妇的系列故事,甚不过婚姻因是个可怕就不公正事件而破裂。琼斯又那位出色的作家,她我的对她系列系列故事少那位主人公都报以同情,即这就要做为 位会会做艰难会做会做清楚。书的主题很沉重但发人深省,它我就沉浸于罗伊与瑟蕾希尔悲惨的爱情系列系列故事。

These Truths《甚不过真相》(中文名暂译)
ByJill Lepore /吉尔·莱波雷【美】
These Truths, by Jill Lepore. Lepore has pulled off the seemingly impossible in her latest book: covering the entire history of the United States in just 800 pages. She’s made a deliberate choice to make diverse points of view central to the narrative, and the result is the most honest and unflinching account of the American story I’ve ever read. Even if you’ve read a lot about U.S. history, I’m confident you will learn something new from These Truths.
莱波雷在都不错新作里快速完正是看似不即使 没甚不过事,用仅仅800页囊括了乃至因此美国世界历史。她要做是个审慎的会选择,将各不各不相各不相同观点做为核心叙事,其貌似是呈现出是个我所读到过当属坦诚而坚毅的因此美国系列故事。即便你读过甚不过话题因此美国世界世界历史书,我确信你仍将从这本书里学到甚不过新什么东西。

Growth《增长》(中文名暂译)
ByVaclav Smil /瓦科拉夫·斯米尔【加】
Growth, by Vaclav Smil. When I first heard that one of my favorite authors was working on a new book about growth, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. (Two years ago, I wrote that I wait for new Smil books the way some people wait for the next Star Wars movie. I stand by that statement.) His latest doesn’t disappoint. As always, I don’t agree with everything Smil says, but he remains one of the best thinkers out there at documenting the past and seeing the big picture.
我就第几次对了 我最我们的我们就不喜欢作家做为现正写一本话题增长的书,我迫不及待地都想读到它。(一一整年前,我写道我像甚不过人在等下一部《星球大战》经典电影 就如在等斯米尔的新书。这话而今仍然最有效。)都不错新作不当你然 失望。和往常就如,我即使 认同斯米尔所说又我们的 ,但他仍最好的记录过去了和着眼大局许许多多方面最出色的思想家做为。
