Wednesday, September 24, 2014. Recently purchased these Korean brand documentary magazines from Magpie. I already have Penguin By Design.

閑書瑣話: 三月 2010
http://rucbysq.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
今天看到新闻:王彬彬和汪晖掐起来了。王彬彬说汪晖20年前的博士论文涉嫌抄袭,汪晖说天地良心我没抄,请学术界还我清白(奇怪了,抄不抄是你的事,干学术界什么事)。我没看过汪的这本成名作《反抗绝望——鲁迅及其文学世界》,对这事没有什么看法。事实上汪晖早就不做文学研究了,忙着做新左的教父。教父并不是白当的,汪晖是个逻辑性极强的人,上课从头讲到尾,包括现场回答问题,基本上不用口语,全是书面语。如果把录音直接记录下来,就是一篇现成的文章。我听过他一堂课,之后便无聊地想:汪教父平时在生活中是怎么说话的?他会讲粗口吗?(我还真是不学无术). 出口成章当然是一种本事,普通人做不到的,我也佩服。但是要说到学问,我当然也觉得汪教父的知识十分渊博,却始终佩服不起来。中国的新左派,谈起西方哲学、社会思想都头头是道,熟悉各种流派之主张,什么新马克思主义、法兰克福学派、后现代主义、社会批判论、结构主义等等,然后呢,...看看王彬彬挑出来的句子,说实话比起现在许多被曝光的抄袭事件来不算什么,我觉得好玩的倒是这些句子本身。比如:. 我也偶尔翻译过一点英文的东西,那的确是一种折磨。我所学英文早已部分...二十多年前某夜A...

閑書瑣話: 五月 2010
http://rucbysq.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
刘索拉的小说《女贞汤》再版了。我在一个朋友的书架上发现了它的初版,那是一本图文书的模样,文字被淹没在一堆乱七八糟、花花绿绿的图片里,如果小说本身不够吸引,读者是没耐心看下去的。难得我竟然看完了,而且越读越觉有意思。新版是正常的白纸黑字,精装,硬皮是奇特的深玫瑰色,封面也怪怪的,我不喜欢,腰封更恶,但总算正文清清爽爽的,比初版适合阅读。 刘索拉这些年好像在玩一些比较特异的音乐,写小说算不算副业?说起她的小说,只记得《你别无选择》,好像看过,内容却完全忘记了。80年代流行的小说,很多只是一种情绪的发泄,赢得了当时年轻人的共鸣,若论小说本身,好的有限。查建英的序说《女贞汤》是刘索拉迄今为止写得最好的小说,我相信这是真的,而且比一些专业小说家的“名作”还要好。 查建英的前言刻意模糊小说中的一些隐喻或者言外之意,她说:”索拉这一版承的是野史、秘史传统,造的是太虚幻境,寻找正史、终极真实的诸君可往它处去,否则生一肚子糊涂气,不必。“当然了,小说是小说&#...12298;刘索拉送我〈刘志丹〉》. 袁腾飞本来是个中学历史老师,讲课视频里面对的也是中学生,但有人说他“违反了宪法&...对毛的评价,左右两派...

Every Book Its Reader: MRI
http://zyn-e.blogspot.com/2015/08/mri.html
Wednesday, August 5, 2015. Undergone an MRI scan yesterday. Quite an experience. I was asked to strip to my underwear and changed to the hospital gown before I was led to the scanning room. I was then instructed to lie on my back on a bed that is part of the scanner, and to remain still and not to swallow during the scan. It cost me $1500 plus. Gosh! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Sunday, May 31, 2015. I kept looking at the beautiful, candy floss-like cloud. Unfortunately, my mobile couldn't capture the details.

Friday, January 30, 2015. The Storied Life of A.J.Fikry. A funny story of a weird, hard-to-please bookseller of a fictional persnickety little bookstore Island Books. Is there an Alice Island?
