Modern society must read books.

0 1 | pillow grass

Author: Li Shao Qing Yan Na

Recommended reason: @ 中中中: There are many books suitable for reading before going to bed, such as Pillow Grass. Opening a page at will is like listening to a friend ramble on about family matters. It's all trivial and ordinary things. I read a book, had a deep sleep, and then fell asleep.

Content abstract: Pillow Grass, Abbot's Notes and Grass in vain are three major Japanese essays, and Tale of Genji is a double-edged sword literature of peace. It is the source and peak of Japanese essay literature. To understand the exquisiteness and beauty of Japanese literature and the aesthetic taste in Japanese culture, Pillow Grass is an insurmountable work. It involves geographical features, plants, flowers and birds, inner feelings, life interests and so on. , very richly embodies the author's elegant observation and aesthetic taste.

02 | "These people, those things"

Author: Wu Nianzhen

Highlight: Wu Nianzhen is good at telling stories. He told a story about a person in a few short sentences, which made his life. These stories, neither essays nor novels, make people feel so far away from me and so close to me. I feel something when I close the book, but there is nothing. Then turn off the lights and sleep.

Content abstract: Wu Nianzhen has accumulated many years of experience and emotion. Every story he wrote contains life energy and spiritual inspiration that we cannot predict. Looking back on life with him, you will learn to be tolerant, open-minded and grateful. This book is a chronicle of Wu Nianzhen's life after his ups and downs. He wrote down the family he cared about most, his hometown he missed day and night, his friends who struggled for the truth all his life, and the most authentic feelings in every corner of Taiwan Province Province. These people and things, through his sincere pen, live so vividly in front of you and me, and at the same time, they are irreplaceable as a beautiful microcosm of this era, printed in your heart and mine.

03 | "Selected Prose of Lin Qingxuan"

Author: Lin Qingxuan

Highlight: @ Gaze Angle: I will choose some essays from the books I read before going to bed. I am reading Lin Qingxuan's prose now, and I like his writing very much. The gentle narration contains the philosophy of life.

Content abstract: In Lin Qingxuan's creative career, in addition to the ten most famous "Bodhi Series" works in his later period, his early prose works were deeply loved by readers because of their beautiful writing and mellow emotions, and won the Taiwan Province Literature Prize for many times.

04 | Borges Collection of Short Stories

Author: Borges

Recommended reason: @ 中中中: Borges is pale in any language evaluation because he stands too high in the language. Excerpting a sentence from another god of death for everyone, I think it is enough to urge everyone to read his works: when a person dies, it is like water disappearing into water.

Content abstract: Borges is a writer admired by Nobel Prize in Literature laureate Coetzee, Italian writer Calvino and American writer susan sontag. China writers Mo Yan, Yu Hua and Ge Fei regarded them as "writers among writers", which directly influenced China's avant-garde writing. When reading Borges, I always feel that I am not facing a person who exists as an entity, but a ghost who walks between languages.

05 | night boat

Author: [Ming] Zhang Dai

Highlight: @ Tomatoes: Zhang Dai's Night Boat is simply a small encyclopedia. Its content is rich, from astronomy and geography to classics, from three religions and nine streams to immortals and ghosts, from politics and personnel to the evolution of laws and regulations. Reading is both extensive and interesting.

Content abstract: The Night Boat is not an unfathomable ancient book, but tells more than 4,000 paragraphs of cultural common sense in plain classical Chinese. Most of these things are familiar to a literate person. Although it also contains some absurd contents now, as a joke of the ancients, it helps us to understand some cultural conditions in ancient times, and it is not bad to have a look.

A book suitable for modern people

1. Tao Te Ching

Author: Li Er

Recommended reason: @ Luo: I often put Laozi by my side, thinking that Laozi is a book, so I should read it slowly and carefully for a long time. Seeing good is like water, and everything in water conservancy is indisputable. In this era of fierce competition, the spirit of water is particularly valuable and worth learning, with a steady and slow mind. The beauty of various foods in the WeChat circle of friends makes the jealous heart ready to move, and the water softens the desire. At the same time, we also know that it is the same as its light dust to demoralize and resolve its disputes. Learn from Laozi and live a wise life.

Content Description: The classic Tao Te Ching, also known as the moral truth, Lao Zi and Lao Zi's 5,000 words and 5,000 articles, was written by Lao Zi in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is only 5,000 words, but it is rich in connotation and profound, covering many disciplines such as philosophy, ethics, politics, military science, etc., which not only influenced China's ancient philosophy, science, politics and religion. As the first complete philosophical work in the history of China, Tao Te Ching is known as the "King of All Classics".

Step 2 cross your world

Author: Zhang Jiajia

Recommended reason: @ Wow: Zhang Jiajia's "Passing Through Your World", a short story every day, whether it is love or not, is always moved and always has different feelings.

Content abstract: Passing Through Your World is a warm-hearted story dedicated to you by Zhang Jiajia, the most storyteller in Weibo. This is a messy book. It's like a friend telling you in the middle of the night, telling you about the Qian Shan he walked through in Qian Shan. There are so many chapters, warm, bright, lonely, crazy, boring and meaningless. When you toss and turn for insomnia, when you need comfort, when you wait for the train, when you are lazy in bed, when you are sleepy after eating, you should find a suitable chapter.

3.worry-free grocery store

Author: Keigo Higashino

Highlight: @ Chen Lansi _Cyn: Books I read before going to bed. My interpretation of it is: growing green. Because it has the same fantasy and kindness as Green, different from Andersen's kindness, he is not always a beautiful narrative, but a bond between people, and continues to teach us in another orderly way. Faint sincerity and warmth of small details are fairy tales of growth.

Content abstract: This grocery store can help you find what is lost in modern people's hearts. There is a grocery store by a quiet street. Just write down your troubles and throw them into the mail slot of the shutter door, and you will get the answer in the milk box behind the store the next day. Because her boyfriend is terminally ill, the young girl Jingzi lingers between love and dreams. Crong drifted to a foreign land for his musical dream, but he couldn't move in reality; Young Hirosuke is facing great changes in his family and struggling in the confusion of his family and future. They write their confusion into a letter, throw it into the grocery store, and then wonderful things keep happening.

Modern good-looking books

0 1. The last temptation of Christ

Nichols? Kazandzakis

Douban score: 8.4 (rated by 399 people)

The publication of this book can be said to be a rock-breaking event.

Even let the court, which has been divided for nearly a thousand years, reach a consensus again for the first time because of a person's book and issue an injunction together.

Because this book not only dares to make a biography of Jesus Christ without authorization, but also completely writes him as an "ordinary person."

Many legends and stories circulating around the world have been completely subverted in this book. For example, Peter, the persecuted disciple, did not really believe in Jesus; But "Judas who betrayed" really understood the anguish and pursuit in Jesus' heart.

And Jesus, he was just told by God to save the sins of the world. At first, he didn't understand the meaning, and even hesitated countless times. Can I not sacrifice?

Until the last moment of being crucified, Jesus also faced this kind of temptation. Only this time, Jesus overcame the temptation.

Because Jesus is kind, he sympathizes with helpless human beings more than himself.

The Vatican cannot accept such an imperfect Jesus Christ, but in my opinion, it is this unyielding self-struggle that makes Jesus Christ perfect.

02. Broken April

Ismail? Kardelj

Douban score: 8.2 (rated by 469 people)

On the vast Albanian plateau, according to the ancient religious code, two enemies will take revenge for generations unless one of them gives up.

Every time you succeed in revenge, you must pay a "blood sacrifice" to the Lord, register it, and then cycle.

Revenge is also the whole meaning of giving the protagonist Georg life.

On March 17, with the aimed trigger, Georg shot and killed his brother's murderer, fulfilling the mission entrusted by his family and the fate set by tradition.

In the traditional definition of life, Georg is waiting for a 30-day truce, and then he will flee all his life until he is "retaliated" by the other side.

However, in this broken April, love appeared, which gave Georg the idea of breaking through the tradition for the first time.

I used to think it was a sad and astringent story. Life and love are bound by tradition and lose their luster.

But don't be surprised if you also see George's final choice.

Love can definitely give you the courage to break through everything and give you a brand-new self.
