维克拉姆·塞斯（Vikram Seth）的《合适郎君》（A Suitable Boy）。英语里最长的小说之一，但我彻底看进去了。太喜欢他那种细腻生动的描写了，书里的事情几乎就像在眼前发生一样。BBC 还出过改编剧，…
A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth. One of the longest English novels, but it has got me hooked. I love how descriptive the prose is. I can almost see the events happen in front of my eyes. There's a bbc adaptation as well,…
…花时间真正沉浸进去——你会觉得了解那些角色就像了解身边的朋友一样，他们就像你真正认识的人。我觉得最接近这种感觉的现代书就是《合适郎君》（A Suitable Boy）了。不过如果因为时间不够或者兴趣不对胃口看不下去，也没必要觉得可惜或自责。
…the time to really sink into them-- you feel like you know the characters as people in the way you know your friends. They are like people you have known. The closest modern book to that I think is A Suitable Boy. But if it isn't for you in terms of your time or your interest you shouldn't feel bad about it.
《安娜·卡列尼娜》、《合适郎君》（A Suitable Boy）之类的。都是绝顶好书，但大学毕业之后时间成了一个大问题（或者说根本没时间），很难在合理的期限内翻开并坚持读完。我还一直想读《尤利西斯》来着。…
Anna Karenina, A Suitable Boy, and the like. Excellent books but after college it's been difficult to start and keep at them in a acceptable period of time given the time (or lack of it) is an issue now. I also wanted to read Ulysses.…

这也太巧了。我现在正读着维克拉姆·塞斯的《合适郎君》（A Suitable Boy）呢。主角之一被变相流放，在那里学会了读写乌尔都语。在此之前我都不知道还有这回事。我个人的观点是，我们应该保留历史，…
This feels like unusual timing. I am presently reading 'A Suitable Boy' by Vikram Seth. One of the main characters is sent into virtual exile where he learns how to read and write Urdu. Until now I don't think I'd heard of it. My own opinion is that we should preserve history,…
那篇幅大概跟一本33.8万字的书的角色量差不多……比《卡拉马佐夫兄弟》（36.5万）长，但比《乱世佳人》（41.8万）短。刚好比维克拉姆·塞斯的《合适郎君》（A Suitable Boy）的一半长一点，而且可能一样精彩好看。Heyooo！
That'd have roughly as many characters as a 338,000 word book... longer than The Brothers Karamazov (365,000) but shorter than Gone With The Wind (418,000). Just over half the length of A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth, and probably just as entertaining. Heyooo!
