…Malcolm X” was maybe the most important book I read as a teenager, and I still go back and reread it every so often. It should be required reading. For fiction, “Blood Meridian” by Cormac McCarthy, “100 Years of Solitude” by Marquez, and “Song of Solomon” by Toni Morrison (or really anything by Toni Morrison, it’s all amazing). Also, Thich Nhat Hanh’s translation of the Heart Sutra, “The Other Shore”, gave me a much…

At one point in my younger years I read The Unbearable Lightness of Being, 100 Years of Solitude by Marquez, and Invisible Cities by Calvino all back to back. These books changed me for the better at the time and I think about scenes from each in my daily life all in about the same sort of way.…
25年前我用母语马拉雅拉姆语读了马尔克斯的代表作《百年孤独》，它就永远刻在了我脑海里。随后的两三年里，我几乎把市面上能买到的马尔克斯英文版作品读了个遍。后来又看了更多拉美……

……《麦尔坎·X自传》可能是我十几岁时读过最重要的一本书，我现在还时不时拿出来重读。这书应该列为必读。虚构类的话，考麦克·麦卡锡的《血色子午线》、马尔克斯的《百年孤独》，还有托尼·莫里森的《所罗门之歌》（其实托尼·莫里森的任何作品都行，本本惊艳）。另外，一行禅师翻译的《心经：彼岸》也让我对……

年轻时有阵子我一口气连着读了《生命中不能承受之轻》、马尔克斯的《百年孤独》和卡尔维诺的《看不见的城市》。这些书在那时让我变得更好，如今我在日常生活中想起书里的场景，感觉都差不多是那种滋味。……
