Books I have been reading lately (1)



--Peony In Love

哀家一直都judge a book by cover的,借这本书也无非是因为外皮闷骚,见它在Barns and Nobles 的架子上也很显眼, 心想没准会有情节。

到目前为止, 看完了三分之二,老子就已经被雷的外焦里嫩了。

故事讲的是明末清初富家女Peony 的感情经历,八过,整个故事斯拉斯拉地是讲给非中国人听的。说什么, 不管礼教多么繁杂,’there are a lot of hugs and kisses in the house’ 同学们啊~~明末清初啊~~hugs and kisses 啊~~ 靠普吗? 至于 像‘kiss on the forehead’之类 的细节, 这里就不提了, 更雷的是女主人公因为博学多才, 念了世界名著‘牡丹亭’又偶遇风流倜傥一小生,终日怀想, 相思成疾,挂掉了。 在阴间与祖母重逢, 共同回顾她父母之爱情故事, 又在阴间看到风流小生娶了自己生前姐妹。 人神公愤以后决定鬼俯身到姐妹身上与小生重逢。。。。

好啦好啦, 到此为止, 整个儿揍是西厢记,牡丹亭,红楼梦,外代人鬼情未了 ,揉圆了向我砸来。 事已至此,我决定大义凛然的看完它, 不过不鼓励列位看官啦,明知会被雷, 还是退退退吧。
下期预告 ‘eat pray and love’

Eat, Pray, Love is really fun to read. Did I recommend it to you? I just finished it myself.

yes dear, you did. I have to say I did not enjoy as much as you did. hugs

:) I can't say it's my favorite book neither, but it accompanied my trip in europe, which served its purpose. Gilbert is too self-obsorbed for my taste. I will read "The History of Love" next, how about you?

hehe, I totally agree with you on the 'self-obsorb'part. I wrote a review but could find where did I save it in my usb. anyhow, nothing important tho. just finished another book "the men i did not marry" quite funny and witty, sort of sex and the city style.I bet you would like it as much as Idid.  but nothing serious tho. I am reading another one "Philosophy Made Simple", it is an awesome book and it come cross tons of places we familiar with both Milwaukee and Chicago. almost done with it too.
