“本书讲述了一个失学青年凭着满腔热情和刻苦勤奋在IT行业打拼十余年最终仍然一事无成的故事。”——这样一本书你会想看吗？
简单地说，这就是一本流水账，从2000年开始直到2012年，逐年记录我自己在这个行业里折腾的经历。
想看励志书的同学们要失望了，这里没有心灵鸡汤，倒是 有不少狗血。传说中的男猪脚不怕出身贫寒只要够拼就会出人头地，这里的男猪脚出身一般天赋一般经历失学失恋离职离婚身居陋室心怀天下卧薪尝胆刻苦打拼十余年还是籍籍无名没钱没势一无所有可是没法子还得继续前行不敢止步。嗯，这是人生。
一无所有么？起码还在这个自己喜欢的行业里混着，干着自己喜欢的工作呢。而且还有一大堆八卦故事可以讲呢。——我设想中讲这些八卦故事的场景，就是下班儿以后坐路边烧烤摊，两瓶啤酒下肚以后开始扯着嗓门神侃“遥想老子当年……哎老板再来三十个串儿”这样的。那么，这样的故事是不是你喜欢听的？
而且，我妈也跟我说，你不是一无所有呀，你还有脸写书呢。

Will Charlie Brown ever get to kick the footballs? Will Schroeder finally return Lucy's love? Will Linus give up his security blanket? Will Peppermint Party ever pass a test? And, most importantly will Snoopy--that canine literary ace--ever be published? </P>
"To take a blank piece of paper and draw characters that people love and worry about is extremely satisfying. It really does not matter what you are called or where your work is placed as long as it brings some kind of joy to some person some place." -- Charles Schulz</P>
Peanuts: A Golden Celebration honors the momentous 50th anniversary of Charlie Brown and the gang with over 1,000 carefully selected strips that tell the story of Peanutslike no other book before. In Schulz's own words we learn how he came to create the world's most popular comic strip characters from nostalgic and sometimes painful memories of growing up--such as the agony of classroom Valentine exchange and the longing for a little red-haired girl.</P>
From the debut of Peanuts on October 2, 1950, to the golden jubilee, here are fifty years of the favorite episodes and the..."firsts," such as the first time Lucy pulled the football away from Charlie Brown. Included are scenes from the beloved Charlie Brown television. specials and the latest revival of the Broadway musical, You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown.</P>
These are the strips and events that have made Peanuts an awesome phenomenon, appearing in 2,600 newspapers worldwide everyday. Not bad for a round-headed kid called Charlie Brown.</P>
Let the celebration begin!</P>

This remarkable and monumental book at last provides a comprehensive answer to the age-old riddle of whether there are only a small number of 'basic stories' in the world. Using a wealth of examples, from ancient myths and folk tales via the plays and novels of great literature to the popular movies and TV soap operas of today, it shows that there are seven archetypal themes which recur throughout every kind of storytelling. But this is only the prelude to an investigation into how and why we are 'programmed' to imagine stories in these ways, and how they relate to the inmost patterns of human psychology.

Drawing on a vast array of examples, from Proust to detective stories, from the Marquis de Sade to E.T., Christopher Booker then leads us through the extraordinary changes in the nature of storytelling over the past 200 years, and why so many stories have 'lost the plot' by losing touch with their underlying archetypal purpose. Booker analyses why evolution has given us the need to tell stories and illustrates how storytelling has provided a uniquely revealing mirror to mankind's psychological development over the past 5000 years.

This seminal book opens up in an entirely new way our understanding of the real purpose storytelling plays in our lives, and will be a talking point for years to come.
