Tom Wolfe（愿他安息）的《电酷爱酸测试》（The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test）。我最喜欢的书之一，也是我最喜欢的作家之一。John Irving 的《盖普眼中的世界》（The World According to Garp）。也是我最喜欢的作家之一，他最棒的作品之一，不过他的书我几乎全都很推荐。Robert A. Heinlein 的《星船伞兵》（Starship Troopers）。几周前刚读完，……
"The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" by Tom Wolfe (RIP). One of my all time favorite book, one of my all time favorite authors. "The World According to Garp" by John Irving. Again, one of my favorite authors, one of his best books, but I really recommend almost all of his books. "Starship Troopers" by Robert A. Heinlein. Just read this a couple weeks ago,…
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 me up to varying degrees.

John Irving 写的《盖普眼中的世界》（The World According to Garp）。对我来说，它是一部完美的悲喜剧。两者兼备才够味。
The World According to Garp by John Irving. To me, it's the perfect tragi-comedy. Gotta have a bit of both.
《圣经》。Harold Bloom 的《西方正典》、Knausgaard 的《我的奋斗》、以及《盖普眼中的世界》、Robertson Davies 的《德普特福德三部曲》、《安娜·卡列尼娜》、《知识的统合》、《叶之屋》、《达迪·克拉维茨的学徒生涯》。这些书都在不同程度上把我整崩溃过。

……写作质量（我最喜欢的一个轶事是，John Irving 曾多次试图将虚构角色盖普名下的短篇小说发表出去，结果屡遭退稿；在《盖普眼中的世界》里，那篇短篇小说也同样被拒了，John Irving 本来还为它写了封退稿信。结果到头来，他直接用了一封现实中收到的真实退稿信换了上去。那篇短篇小说后来竟然得了一项……
