饥饿游戏 豆瓣
7.4 (72 个评分) 作者: [美]苏珊·柯林斯 / Suzanne Collins 译者: 耿芳 作家出版社 2010 - 1
第七十四届饥饿游戏即将开始。
在荒蛮的野外环境中,每个人都想置你于死地,
你能靠自己的力量生存下来吗?
24人参加竞赛。只有一人能够存活。
抽签日那天,凯特尼斯的人生彻底改变了。
在未来的北美洲,帕纳姆国建立在一片废墟之上,它的中心凯匹特位于十二个区的中央。每年,十二个区都被迫向凯匹特送去年龄在12岁至18岁的少男少女“贡品”各一名,去参加饥饿游戏,这是一项残酷而可怕的生与死的竞赛,所有的贡品必须战斗到死,最后的幸存者就是胜者。
竞技场是经过人工布置的森林、荒原。竞赛中,猎杀、追踪、饥饿、伪装、智斗等生死存亡的时刻,都被电视现场直播到全国,每个人都必须观看,而且要当成节日一样庆祝。对于凯匹特,这是年度盛会,是一场游戏。对于其他十二区,是羞辱和折磨。
生存是16岁的凯特尼斯的本能,她依靠在十二区围栏外偷猎、采集野果勉强养活妈妈、妹妹和自己。当凯特尼斯代替被抽中的妹妹参加饥饿游戏时,她明白这对她可能意味着死亡。如果她想生存,她必须在人性与生存、生活与爱情之间做出选择。
在竞技场上,凯特尼斯机缘巧合被塑造成燃烧的女孩,又与本区的另一个贡品皮塔组成明星恋人备受瞩目。她很困惑,自己与皮塔的关系?她企图拯救其他竞赛者的生命,机智地应对游戏中出现的谜题,使她成了电视观众关注的中心。生死关头,她才发现爱情竟然也可以成为赢的策略。
凯特尼斯只有继续做她自己。那个倔强的女孩,她拒绝向游戏规则屈服,拒绝向死亡屈服,也拒绝向爱情屈服。她的拒绝会带来什么,未来又会怎样呢?

The Quick and Dirty Guide to Learning Languages Fast 豆瓣
作者: Hawke, A.G. 2000 - 9
There are many reasons why you might need to learn a foreign language quickly. The author, a U.S. Army Green Beret, often travels to foreign countries on short notice and needs to be able to communicate with military and government officials, many of who do not speak English. He tried all types of schools, classes, books and tapes, but none delivered what he needed when he needed it. So he developed his own method for learning foreign languages. It proved so effective for him and his fellow Green Berets that he decided to share his method with others who need to learn a language quickly. The Quick and Dirty Guide to Learning Languages Fast is designed for people who have no interest in learning complicated rules of grammar. The author promises that his method will help anyone become functional in any language in seven days and proficient in 30. He's trimmed the fat, freeing your time for what's truly useful.

Polyglot 豆瓣 Goodreads
Így tanulok nyelveket (1995, 4th ed.).
作者: Kato Lomb 译者: Ádám Szegi / Kornelia DeKorne TESL-EJ 2011 - 4
Kató Lomb (1909-2003) was one of the great polyglots of the 20th century. A translator and one of the first simultaneous interpreters in the world, Lomb worked in 16 languages for state and business concerns in her native Hungary. She achieved further fame by writing books on languages, interpreting, and polyglots.<br /><br /><i>Polyglot: How I Learn Languages</i>, first published in 1970, is a collection of anecdotes and reflections on language learning. Because Dr. Lomb learned her languages as an adult, after getting a PhD in chemistry, the methods she used will thus be of particular interest to adult learners who want to master a foreign language.
How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big 豆瓣
作者: Scott Adams Portfolio Hardcover 2013 - 10
Scott Adams has likely failed at more things than anyone you’ve ever met or anyone you’ve even heard of. So how did he go from hapless office worker and serial failure to the creator of Dilbert, one of the world’s most famous syndicated comic strips, in just a few years? In How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big, Adams shares the strategy he has used since he was a teen to invite failure in, to embrace it, then pick its pocket.
No career guide can offer advice for success that works for everyone. As Adams explains, your best bet is to study the ways of others who made it big and try to glean some tricks and strategies that make sense for you. Adams pulls back the covers on his own unusual life and shares what he learned for turning one failure after another into something good and lasting. Adams reveals that he failed at just about everything he’s tried, including his corporate career, his inventions, his investments, and his two restaurants. But there’s a lot to learn from his personal story, and a lot of humor along the way. While it’s hard for anyone to recover from a personal or professional failure, Adams discovered some unlikely truths that helped to propel him forward. For instance:
• Goals are for losers. Systems are for winners.
• "Passion" is bull. What you need is personal energy.
• A combination of mediocre skills can make you surprisingly valuable.
• You can manage your odds in a way that makes you look lucky to others.

她是当代短篇小说大师。——诺贝尔奖颁奖辞
逃离,或许是旧的结束。或许是新的开始。或许只是一些微不足道的瞬间,就像看戏路上放松的脚步, 就像午后窗边怅然的向往。
卡拉,十八岁从父母家出走,如今又打算逃脱丈夫和婚姻;
朱丽叶,放弃学术生涯,毅然投奔在火车上偶遇的乡间男子;
佩内洛普,从小与母亲相依为命,某一天忽然消失得再无踪影;
格雷斯,已然谈婚论嫁,却在一念之间与未婚夫的哥哥出逃了一个下午……
一次次逃离的闪念,就是这样无法预知,无从招架,或许你早已被它们悄然逆转,或许你早已将它们轻轻遗忘。

Magritte 豆瓣
作者: Jacques Meuris Taschen GmbH 2007 - 3
The works of René Magritte (1898 - 1967) and the ideas that underlie them are a special case both in the history of modern art and in surrealist painting. In the search for the "mystery" in which things and organisms are enveloped, Magritte created pictures which, taking everyday reality as their starting point, were to follow a different logic from that to which we are accustomed. Magritte depicts the world of reality in such unsecretive superficiality that the beholder of his pictures is forced to reflect that the mystery of it is not evoked by some sentimental transfiguration, but rather by the logic of his thoughts and associations. Magritte thus invented an inimitable pictorial language which he uses to question our usual comprehension of pictures. In this book, Jacques Meuris traces Magritte's artistic development from its beginnings until the end of his life, and in doing so underlines the originality of this great Belgian Surrealist.

硬球 豆瓣
作者: 克里斯·马修斯 译者: 林猛 / 吴群芳 新华出版社 2010 - 7
“硬球”是《硬球:政治是这样玩的》独创的一个寓意深刻的概念,既指政界人物为了胜出、权力和成就而展开的讲求实际、大胆出击、不畏艰难、“过关斩将”的竞争游戏,也指他们进行这种“硬碰硬”或者说“打硬仗”的激烈游戏时,所使用的各种巧妙有力的手段与技巧。

《硬球:政治是这样玩的》英文版自出版以来,一直畅销不衰,并以20多种语言在许多国家流传。它不仅受到政界人士的钟爱,也备受企业家、公司白领、大学生的欢迎。

The New York Times bestseller
This is the life and times of T. S. Garp, the bastard son of Jenny
Fields--a feminist leader ahead of her times.This is the life and death
of a famous mother and her almost-famous son; theirs is a world of sexual
extremes--even of sexual assassinations.It is a novel rich with "lunacy
and sorrow"; yet the dark, violent events of the story do not undermine a
comedy both ribald and robust.In more than thirty languages, in more than
forty countries--with more than ten million copies in print--this novel
provides almost cheerful, even hilarious evidence of its famous last line:
"In the world according to Garp, we are all terminal cases."

Scarcity 豆瓣
作者: Sendhil Mullainathan / Eldar Shafir Allen Lane 2013 - 9
A surprising and intriguing examination of how scarcity—and our flawed responses to it—shapes our lives, our society, and our culture
Why do successful people get things done at the last minute? Why does poverty persist? Why do organizations get stuck firefighting? Why do the lonely find it hard to make friends? These questions seem unconnected, yet Sendhil Mullainathan and Eldar Shafir show that they are all are examples of a mind-set produced by scarcity.
Drawing on cutting-edge research from behavioral science and economics, Mullainathan and Shafir show that scarcity creates a similar psychology for everyone struggling to manage with less than they need. Busy people fail to manage their time efficiently for the same reasons the poor and those maxed out on credit cards fail to manage their money. The dynamics of scarcity reveal why dieters find it hard to resist temptation, why students and busy executives mismanage their time, and why sugarcane farmers are smarter after harvest than before. Once we start thinking in terms of scarcity and the strategies it imposes, the problems of modern life come into sharper focus.
Mullainathan and Shafir discuss how scarcity affects our daily lives, recounting anecdotes of their own foibles and making surprising connections that bring this research alive. Their book provides a new way of understanding why the poor stay poor and the busy stay busy, and it reveals not only how scarcity leads us astray but also how individuals and organizations can better manage scarcity for greater satisfaction and success.
Zen in the Art of Archery 豆瓣 Goodreads
作者: Eugen Herrigel 译者: R. F. C. Hull Vintage Books 1999 - 1
Since its original publication in 1953, Zen in the Art of Archery has become one of the classic works on Eastern philosophy, the first book to delve deeply into the role of Zen in philosophy, development, and practice of Eastern martial arts. Wise, deeply personal, and frequently charming, it is the story of one man's penetration of the theory and practice of Zen Buddhism.Eugen Herrigel, a German professor who taught philosophy in Tokyo, took up the study of archery as a step toward the understanding of Zen. Zen in the Art of Archery is the account of the six years he spent as the student of one of Japan's great Zen masters, and the process by which he overcame his initial inhibitions and began to look toward new ways of seeing and understanding. As one of the first Westerners to delve deeply into Zen Buddhism, Herrigel was a key figure in the popularization of Eastern thought in the West, as well as being a captivating and illuminating writer.
