大家都是读书人（自诩），读书、爱书（最好不是孔乙己），用感情去体验书中的故事，用理智去分析书中的道理，我的最大愿望是：一杯茶、一卷书，茶香、书香，乐哉！My E-mail: WayneWangxinyu@hotmail.com   笔谈不过瘾，太慢。大家有时间聚一聚，聊一聊。
最后一个问题：书中是否真有‘千钟粟、严如玉、黄金屋'??(笑谈) I am looking forward to your reply. Good dream and good luck!
Yours,
Wayne

纸质的确实没有基本，但电子版很多。到了北美最大的遗憾就是连看书的时间都快没有了，看的书只是为了考试。无聊的很。

Introduce "1984", the novel by George Orwell, an English Novelist. The story is about a man living in the world of regulated communist economy between Oceania, Europe and Americania. He has to be check by the "Big Brother", the communist as he works for them. The TV was invented so he has to watch TV and check by TV. He does not have freedom, all he does is work and being checked. In the novel, he met a woman in that period time, and it developed to become part of the novel. Even during such a strigent living environment, he still loves. The novel was written during the second world war, and as we know, it is a war between free economy and communist and sociallist such as Hitler, Lenon, Stalon and free economy in Britain. It reflects and tells us the future of modern economy. Are we going to free trade or regulated trades between communists? The novel also shows the strength of men's life, the rigidity of the governing party and the regidity of people's life style did make people scared, but men did not fall.

晚安, 你好,

I do not agree with your opnion on Thorn Birds. I think the Father is also innocent. As a Father in ochurch in early 20th century, his love affair definately can not make him the top of the Cathlic church power center. He loves Maggie and Maggie's family. Maggie became the only one left in the family after the second world war, that has to do with Maggie's aunt, the witch, she loves the Father too, and she could not get Father's love and she noticed the love between Maggie and the Father, then she set curse in the story. Everyone in the novel is innocent except the old witch, Maggie's aunt. Every reader has the compassion on Maggie's life, so I think on Father's life too. They had one night affair, it is strickly forbidden in Catholic church. But the Father still accomplished his dream to approach the center of the church power. Agree with you, the novel is a tragedy. That is what I really think. Let me know what you think.

"Father's Affair", it's a good book, by a Holland author, forget the name. It's about a father and his son, his two wives. nice story. I love the father and son playing together part. I used to read espionage books; but this one is really worthy of reading.

Reading a good book is a very good way to enjoy loneliness.
Two English books recommended:
1) Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal
2) Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions

The two books are excellent written, easy to read and excellent for knowledge and entertainment. Both of them are New York Time best sellers. They are worth to read if you have time to kill. The former was recommended to some Concordia business students. The latter is talking about several MIT students using simple counting and team play skill to milk blackjack tables in Casinos under the supposing about 1% positive mathematical expectation (usually, you have about 0.7% to 40% negative mathematical expectation when you enter a casino).

By the way, is there any one here who has the book " 往事并不如烟 "?
