…and Tolstoy. Brothers Karamazov was my favorite. I liked ''War and Peace too', and can somewhat understand why they call 'Anna Karenina' one of the best books ever written. Just recently, I finished 'Doctor Zhivago', and 'Fathers and Sons', and 'The Master and Margarita'. I thought they were all brilliant. Since the year is coming to and end, I hope to reread VS Naipaul's 'A House for Mr Biswas'. It's my favorite…
Pasternak was given Nobel prize for "Doctor Zhivago". When reading the book I was disappointed a bit: why give such a high prize for such a boring book. Only about 15-20 years later I understood that Nobel Prize is mostly about politics, not literature.…
I would not bet too much on the ability of collective struggles to solve individual problems. I still think that this is at the heart of Boris Pasternak's "Doctor Zhivago". both the movie and the book. And it has taken on the patina of timelessness and universality in my experience

鲍里斯·帕斯捷尔纳克的《日瓦戈医生》，巨好看！
Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak, great read!
我觉得这是个引人入胜的故事。《日瓦戈医生》是一部美得让人心碎的作品——绝对是我最喜欢的书和电影之一，而它居然曾作为一种政治工具、说白了就是宣传工具发挥了那么大作用，这真让我感到惊讶！我觉得这个故事深深地……

……还有托尔斯泰。《卡拉马佐夫兄弟》是我的最爱。我也挺喜欢《战争与和平》，而且在一定程度上能理解为什么大家把《安娜·卡列尼娜》评为有史以来最伟大的小说之一。就在最近，我读完了《日瓦戈医生》、《父与子》以及《大师与玛格丽特》。我觉得它们都精彩绝伦。眼看今年就要结束了，我希望能重读一遍V.S.奈保尔的《比斯瓦斯先生的房子》。那可是我的最爱……

帕斯捷尔纳克因为《日瓦戈医生》拿了诺贝尔奖。读这本书的时候我有点失望：这么无聊的一本书凭啥能拿这么大的奖。直到大概十五二十年之后我才明白，诺贝尔奖主要看的是政治，而不是文学。……

对于集体斗争能否解决个人问题，我可不会抱太大期望。我依然认为这就是鲍里斯·帕斯捷尔纳克的《日瓦戈医生》——无论是电影还是小说——的核心所在。而且在我的阅历中，它已经沉淀出了一种超越时代与普遍适用的光彩。
