…novels. In my 20s I felt guilty and frivolous for reading fiction, but eventually I realized I could learn a lot more walking in a protagonist's shoes than I could reading self help etc. 'My Struggle' by knausgard. Lengthy but worth it, even if you only read book 1. On face it's just the angst of some middle class writer, but following him into the recesses of his own introspection is really something. The borderlands…
Karl Ove Knausgård 的《My Struggle》（My Struggle）系列 [1]。整个系列六本书共 3600 页，我今年读了其中四本。我心想，我到底为什么要读关于某个挪威人私生活的极其详细的报告。他的离婚，……
"My Struggle" series by Karl Ove Knausgård [1]. The whole series is 3600 pages in six books, and I read four of them this year. Why on earth am I reading ridiculously detailed reports on some Norwegian guy's personal life, I thought. His divorce,…
…with occasional to-the-point metaphors, lots of dialogues, then stream-of consciousness-sections and philosophical cross-references out of the blue, hundreds and hundres of pages with no chapters, etc. Knausgård sure knows how to keep a strong pace. It's somewhat a mashup of all sorts of things, and so is life, isn't it? In a way, it's like the Perl programming language, lol: often times impossible to read,…
《圣经》。Harold Bloom 的《西方正典》（Western Canon），Knausgaard 的《我的奋斗》（Min Kamp），《盖普眼中的世界》（The World According to Garp），Robertson Davies 的 Deptford 三部曲，《安娜·卡列尼娜》（Anna Karenina），《知识的融通》（Consilience of Knowledge），《叶之屋》（House of Leaves），《Duddy Kravitz 的学徒期》（The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz）。所有这些书都搞乱……
The Bible. Harold Bloom's "Western Canon", Knausgaard's "Min Kamp", "The World According to Garp", Robertson Davies Deptford Triology, "Anna Karenina", "Consilience of Knowledge", "House of Leaves" "The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz" All these books messed…
……关于书名。所以回答 OP 的问题：是的，我觉得这个书名很奇怪（它挺有争议的）。但书名也很有描述性、很贴切（我的看法）。坦白说：我是 Knausgård 的超级粉丝 :)
…of the title. So to answers OPs question. Yes, I find the title strange (it is pretty controversial). But also, the title is descriptive and relevant (my opinion). Full disclosure: I am huge fan of Knausgård :)
……读起来很有趣，因为《霍乱时期的爱情》（Cholera）是在《百年孤独》（Solitude）之后 20 年写的，我们可以看到作者随时间的变化。不过总的来说，我绝对顶级的书是《伊甸之东》（East of Eden）、《第二十二条军规》（Catch-22）和《我的奋斗》（My Struggle，Knausgaard 著）。1000% 去读这些。我喜欢把这些列出来，这样如果有人读到这个并且也喜欢这些书，他们就能在一定程度上信任我的其他推荐。
…interesting to read since Cholera was written 20 years after Solitude and we can see how the author changed over time. Overall though, my absolute top tier books are East of Eden, Catch-22, and My Struggle (Knausgaard). 1000% read those. I like including these so if somebody reads this and likes these books as well, they can somewhat trust my other suggestions.
……小说。二十多岁时，我读小说会觉得内疚、觉得不务正业，但最终我意识到，跟着主角走一遭能学到的东西，比读自助书之类的多得多。Knausgård 的《My Struggle》（My Struggle）。篇幅很长但值得，哪怕你只读第一本。表面上它只是一个中产阶级作家的焦虑，但跟随他深入自己的内省深处，真的很有东西。边界地带……

……偶尔有切中要害的比喻，大量对话，然后突然冒出意识流段落和哲学交叉引用，成百上千页没有章节，等等。Knausgård 确实懂得如何保持强劲的节奏。它有点像各种东西的混搭，而生活不也是这样吗？某种程度上，它就像 Perl 编程语言，哈哈：很多时候根本读不下去，……
