Margaret Walker 的《Jubilee》。Betty Smith 的《A tree grows in brooklin》。Abraham Verghese 的《Cutting for Stone》。这些都不是轻松的读物。但读完之后，你真的会觉得自己变成了一个更好的人。
Jubilee, Margaret Walker. A tree grows in brooklin, Betty Smith. Cutting for Stone, Abraham Varghese. They are not light reading. But you do feel like you are a better person after you’re done reading them.
首先，“bucket list”（遗愿清单）这个词总让我想起 Creosote 先生。其次，在我读过的书里，不得不说《Cutting for Stone》其实不怎么样；Verghese 的非虚构作品《The Tennis Partner》要好得多。《The Connections》有其出彩之处，但以它的篇幅来说，可能还不够多。
First, the expression "bucket list" always brings to mind Mr. Creosote. Second, of the books that i have read, I have to say that Cutting for Stone isn't very good; Verghese's nonfiction The Tennis Partner is much better. The Connections has its moments, but maybe not enough for its length.
