《Anathem》——Neal Stephenson。去年在这儿有人推荐过，它震撼我的方式跟《玫瑰的名字》（Name of the Rose）很像，只不过是科幻题材。《日瓦戈医生》（Dr Zhivago）——鲍里斯·帕斯捷尔纳克。如果你还没读过任何俄国作家的作品，不妨试试这本。刚开始读确实不容易，就像所有俄国文学一样，但那奇妙的诗意意象和抒情风格会不断吸引你读下去。……
Anathem - Neal Stephenson. Recommended here last year, it blew my mind in a similar way to Name of the Rose but with a sci-fi theme. Dr Zhivago - Boris Pasternak. If you have not read any of the Russians, give this a go. Initially it is not easy, like all Russian literature, but the wonderfully poetic images and lyricism keep drawing you back.…
…feel like I know even the basic facts until I've seen them at least three times. I don't have any other specific "authoritative" books to recommend. Maybe one of the Lenin or Stalin biographies? And Dr. Zhivago, of course...
…Frankly, I think people can find them difficult, naturally, and an anti-intellectual response is an easy cover story that they know will be socially accepted. Lots of people like these works, including Dr Zhivago and Maria Stepanova.

……哪怕是基本事实，我也得至少看上三遍才觉得真正掌握了。我没有其他具体的“权威”书籍可以推荐。也许可以读一本列宁或斯大林的传记？当然还有《日瓦戈医生》（Dr. Zhivago）……

……坦白说，我觉得大家自然会觉得它们晦涩难懂，而反智主义的反应则是一种容易被社会所接受的掩护说辞。很多人都喜欢这些作品，包括《日瓦戈医生》（Dr Zhivago）和玛丽亚·斯捷潘诺娃的作品。随着年龄渐长，我懂得了一个道理：如果我不喜欢某部作品，通常是因为我遗漏了某些东西，这对我来说正是一个学习的机会。随着我越来越成熟，我懂得了……
