…比起新加坡更像那不勒斯。如果‘时间’仅仅意味着发生的事，那么一切都是时间。世上唯有存在于时间之中的事物。”在我十几岁时对我影响极大的书：福克纳的《押沙龙，押沙龙！》、约翰·多斯·帕索斯的《美国》、Rowlands 的《Cache Lake Country》

在我十几岁时对我影响极大的书：福克纳的《押沙龙，押沙龙！》、约翰·多斯·帕索斯的《美国》、Rowlands 的《Cache Lake Country》；第一本我从头到尾读完的成年人大部头（当时迷得不行！最近重读了一遍依然很享受）：凡尔纳的《神秘岛》
Very influential in my teens: Absalom, Absalom by Faulkner USA by John Dos Passos Cache Lake Country by Rowlands First adult book I read all the way through (I was fascinated! Re-read it recently and enjoyed it.): The Mysterious Island by Verne
…约翰·多斯·帕索斯的《美国》。非常值得一读。引用一段 Adam 自己的话：“对我影响最大的一本书，其实是我父亲在我 13 岁左右给我读的一部小说。那是约翰·多斯·帕索斯写的一部名为《美国》的小说。在那个年纪，它直接击中了我。我所做的一切都可以追溯到那部小说，因为它全是关于宏大历史、个人经历以及两者之间的关系。而且还有拼贴画、名言…
…'U.S.A' by John Dos Passos. It's a great read. A quote from Adam himself: "The biggest influence I’ve ever had was actually a novel my father gave me to read at the age of about 13. It was a novel called USA by John Dos Passos. At that age, it just got me. You can trace back everything I do to that novel because it’s all about grand history, individual experience, their relationship. And also collages, quotes…
…focus. So read books! Along the same lines, the time and mental investment required to read a book, for me, produces a unique kind of immersive return. For example, I’m currently reading John Dos Passos’ USA trilogy. It is 1000+ pages of fiction about 1900-1930 America, and it takes time. But that time has given me a rich picture of what the period was like, written by a guy who lived it. Both because I’m…

…专注力。所以多读书吧！同理，对我而言，读书所需投入的时间和心力，能带来一种独特的沉浸式回报。比如，我目前正在读约翰·多斯·帕索斯的《美国》三部曲。那是一千多页关于 1900 到 1930 年代美国的小说，很花时间。但那段时光让我领略到了那个时代的丰富图景，而且是由一位亲历者写就的。既因为我…
