《剑桥倚天屠龙史》是新垣平博士恶搞《倚天屠龙记》和正史的戏作。新博士学识渊博，才华横溢，他运用奇妙的想象和精妙的推理，将正史和武侠完美地熔为一炉，写出了这部令所有金迷击节赞叹的奇书。本书最早在天涯论坛连载，轰动一时，被粉丝们疯狂转帖。新博士最具特色的写作手法，是用最严肃的历史叙事笔调来书写最荒诞不经的虚构情节。他将小说和历史双重陌生化，将历史与虚构的界限彻底打破，使得历史书写成为纯粹的文本游戏。这游戏是意义机制自身的狂欢，也是一场智力的盛宴！

這是一本曾經暢銷二十萬冊，十六歲少女在城市尚未出現邊界，時光猶如液泡膜膠中，對一切世情皆鮮烈愛憎的憂國潮騷之一歌，這個五歲想當農夫，八歲想當炮兵，之後想到威廉波特打少棒，想當記者想當上帝想當拿破崙的情婦想當伊莉莎白一世的少女，闔上書頁時所有時間猶如雕像靜止，尚未啟動，這是一切漫遊的起點，這是老靈魂，後來頻頻回眺，為之傷逝，為之悼亡的黃金時光。

The Independent is a British compact newspaper published by Tony O'Reilly's Independent News & Media. It is nicknamed the Indie, with the Sunday edition, The Independent on Sunday, being the Sindie. Launched in 1986, it is one of the youngest UK national daily newspapers, with a circulation of 240,116 in August 2007 according to the UK Audited Bureau of Circulations; a 5.37% drop from November 2006. The Sunday edition has bucked its trend of faring worse than its daily sister; up 1.63% in the last nine months to August 2007 at 216,371. This first rise for a considerable time would seem to reflect a buoying effect of the June 2007 relaunch. The daily edition was named National Newspaper of the Year at the 2004 British Press Awards. The Independent is politically left-leaning.

这是一部书评集。作者乃知名书评人，也是老资格的贩书人，洞明世事，走笔老辣，评论的，多属近年坊间寻常可见的读物，或文学，或历史，或学术，或文化零屑，或饮食男女，一百三十余篇文章，依类编排。期望雅者见雅，俗者见诉，仁者见仁，智者见智。

袁世凱，中華民國史上之開卷英雄，中國近代社會政治轉型期中不幸的當國者之一也。他天生是個「治世能臣，亂世奸雄」的曹操型的的人物，卻在帝制結束、共和初建的時代主政，滿腹野心難抑之下，於是先設法當上終身大總統，再圖謀黃袍加身，做起中華帝國的洪憲大皇帝。奈何黃粱夢覺，一失足成千古恨，只落得了身死名裂，遺臭萬年。

重口味神作，阅读有风险，身体虚弱者勿入！
《搏击俱乐部》作者最黑暗最天才最虐心的神作。
读者在阅读后，不是火到想找作者单挑就是发出凄厉的惨叫或是整个人狂笑不行更有人虚脱到无法出声！
有73人在作者读《肠子》的时候晕倒，晕倒人数还在持续增加中。
本书包含了二十二个恐怖、好 笑，又让你反胃的故事。说这些故事的人都是应一则“作家研习营”的广告而来，却陷入类似“求生”情节的处境中——他们没有暖气，没有电力，没有食物。这些说故事的人越来越绝望时，他们的故事也越来越极端。然而，他们无情地密谋着，让自己成为由他们受苦经验改编而成的实境节目中的主角。这将是你所读过的最令人心里发毛且虐心的小说，唯有恰克·帕拉尼克才能写得出来。
《伊莎贝拉》《志明与春娇》导演彭浩翔鼎力推荐：
本书的精彩程度，是你看后不好意思再告诉朋友，自己也有写小说。它的好，到这个程度时，你不禁要抚心自问，要是这故事掉在你的门口，你能够说得比他更动听吗？那不单单是文笔用字的问题，而是在说故事的过程中，透露资讯的次序和速度，如何在三言两语之间，就把整个画面点出来，并让人有看下去的冲动。
年轻作者总以为每个读者跟他都有血缘关系，非要成为他的忠实崇拜者，每个字都要读完不可，完全没有想过如何吸引人看下去，只是一直在喃喃自语，自渎满纸。满街都是这样的闷作，让恰克·帕拉尼克更见珍贵。

The Translation Studies Reader provides a definitive survey of the most important and influential developments in translation theory and research, with an emphasis on twentieth-century developments. With introductory essays prefacing each section, the book places a wide range of seminal and innovative readings within their thematic, cultural and historical contexts. This second edition of this classic reader has been fully revised and updated. Venuti has also extended the selection to include key pre-twentieth-century texts, adding a historical dimension.

"Thinking Chinese Translation" is a practical and comprehensive course for advanced undergraduates and postgraduate students of Chinese. "Thinking Chinese Translation" explores the ways in which memory, general knowledge, and creativity (summed up as 'schema') contribute to the linguistic ability necessary to create a good translation. The course develops the reader's ability to think deeply about the texts and to produce natural and accurate translations from Chinese into English. A wealth of relevant illustrative material is presented taking the reader through a number of different genres and text types of increasing complexity including: technical, scientific and legal texts; journalistic and informative texts; and literary and dramatic texts. Each chapter provides a discussion of the issues of a particular text type based on up-to-date scholarship, followed by practical translation exercises. The chapters can be read independently as research material, or in combination with the exercises. The issues discussed range from the fine detail of the text, such as punctuation, to the broader context of editing, packaging and publishing translations. Major aspects of teaching and learning translation, such as collaboration, are also covered. "Thinking Chinese Translation" is essential reading for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of Chinese and translation studies. The book will also appeal to a wide range of language students and tutors through the general discussion of the principles and purpose of translation. Valerie Pellatt and Eric Liu are both based at Newcastle University.

《命名日本》是作者继《AV现场》和《整形日本》再上层楼之作。作者用“容易命名的女人”、“男人名字就是苦”、“消费男女的文化原象”把书分为三个部分，同时，对应三个部分又分别安插了三场对谈：和陈效能谈女人，和吴俊雄谈男人，和吕大乐直接谈命名。
人妻、女子铁道迷、女子高生、主妇、悠长假期、落水狗、化妆狂、巨乳、购物狂、腐女子、老头、武士道、足球、寅次郎、欺凌、百货公司、感泪、郊外、文坛、御宅族、M型社会、AV等等。知道这些字词的意思，并不单为追赶潮流。这其实是为读者提供认识日本社会当地语境的新线索，让大家考察日本人在过去二十年，如何透过创作新的词汇与概念去面对社会不安，重新认识自己及他们身处的环境。 从窥看日本的文化现况，预警香港的文化断层。

「今朝風日好, 或恐有人來」, 這是生活的期望, 也是生活的美好。董橋的散文, 終於變成我們香港人的自豪, 也成為我們習慣享用的精神糧食, 我們樂於讀一篇美好的文字, 如濟慈的開篇的千古詩句 ”A thing of beauty is a joy forever”。美的事物確然常常給我帶來歡愉；美的事物一旦歸我擁有，那份歡愉確然更是無盡的歡愉了。
所以我們盡力把書做好, 皮面, 燙金, 精裝, 不只是因為迷戀裝幀之美, 更是因為 ”At a time when the Internet is so powerful, making books is more and more important”。正因為網絡無遠弗屆, 圖象繽紛刺激, 文字才更顯示真正的迷人魅力。閱讀一本書是一次美的歷程。

豐子愷當初是為了給弘一法師祝壽而創作此畫集，1942年弘一法師在泉州圓寂後，他依然按照原來計畫，十年一集，第一、二集的文字由弘一法師親自撰寫。作者編繪此書的原意是以佛教徒的慈悲胸懷，呼籲世人對生靈存留一些同情，並由此出發，養成善良、寬容、慈愛的心靈，而這種思維又與現代「環境保護」、「愛護動物」的精神不謀而合，因此，本畫集所倡導的「護生即護心」就有了現代的意涵。

The vampire novel that started it all, Bram Stoker's Dracula probes deeply into human identity, sanity, and the dark corners of Victorian sexuality and desire. When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula purchase a London house, he makes horrifying discoveries about his client. Soon afterward, disturbing incidents unfold in England-an unmanned ship is wrecked at Whitby, strange puncture marks appear on a young woman's neck, and a lunatic asylum inmate raves about the imminent arrival of his "Master"-culminating in a battle of wits between the sinister Count and a determined group of adversaries.

Also you can read the whole novel online :)
