我最喜欢的书之一是 Helen DeWitt 的《The Last Samurai》，书里我最喜欢的一句话是：成功的秘诀在于每天完成一件简单的小事。它讲的其实就是去取得缓慢但有意义的进展。没有人是一觉醒来…
One of my favorite books is The Last Samurai by Helen DeWitt, and one of my favorite quotes from it is: The secret of success is to complete a single simple task on a daily basis. It really is about making slow, meaningful progress. No one wakes…

…Beckett 当替角），这种现状太安于现状了。你应该全力以赴克服你内心的 Joyce。顺便说一句，如果你还没读过，你应该尽快找来 Helen DeWitt 的《The Last Samurai》读一读。
…Beckett as an understudy) and this state of affairs is too complacent. You should be hard at work on overcoming your inner Joyce. P.S. If you haven't, you ought to pick up and read Helen DeWitt's _The Last Samurai_, as soon as possible.
只说两本很难选。我选两本我认为值得更出名但目前还没那么红的书吧。Helen DeWitt 的《The Last Samurai》（跟阿汤哥那部电影毫无关系）是我多年来读过的最棒的小说，讲述了一段早慧到荒谬程度的童年传奇，里面还嵌套了好几个同样引人入胜的精彩故事。任何…
It's hard to name only two. I'll choose two that deserve to be more famous than they are, in my opinion. Helen DeWitt's _The Last Samurai_ (no relation to the Tom Cruise movie) is the best novel I've read in years, a brilliant tale of an absurdly precocious childhood, with several more rich tales of their own value nested inside.

虽然不完全算教材，但我真真真极力推荐 Helen DeWitt 写的虚构小说《The Last Samurai》。讲的是一位年轻母亲在伦敦居家养育她神童儿子的故事。绝对是我读过最励志的书之一。http://www.amazon.com/LAST-SAMURAI-Helen-Witt/dp/B0014JOL1A/...
Not exactly curriculum, but I really, really, really recommend the (fictional) book "The Last Samurai" by Helen DeWitt. It's about a young mother homeschooling her prodigy son, and is set in London. Easily one of the most inspiring books I've ever read. http://www.amazon.com/LAST-SAMURAI-Helen-Witt/dp/B0014JOL1A/...
赞同你推荐的 Ancillary 三部曲。我会去看看你书单里的其他书。另一本我非常喜欢的书：Helen DeWitt 的《The Last Samurai》。写作风格非常有趣（不是讲日本的）。
+1 on the Ancillary trilogy. Will check out the rest of your list. Another one I really liked: The Last Samurai by Helen DeWitt. Very interesting writing style (it's not about Japan).
