In the Reading Challenge group of Douban, I came into contact with this activity that is actually like making a book list (see the specific list items here ). In order to improve the possibility of completion, I moved to Matters to supervise myself ha

 In fact, this article can also be called: 2021 is coming, I have to be responsible for the crushes of 2020! 

1. A BOOK THAT'S PUBLISHED IN 2021

not ready to be found :)

3. A BOOK THAT HAS A HEART, DIAMOND, CLUB, OR SPADE ON THE COVER

Hole Cards — Agatha Christe

Choose at will, grandma is a must-read pass XD

4. A BOOK BY AN AUTHOR WHO SHARES UR ZODIAC SIGN

At the time, I was enthusiastic and swore that this would be easy to find. As a result, I searched for my favorite writers/scholars, and found no candidates for Leo...

Jealousy - La Jalousie

I chose this book because: ① This is the writer Ann studied for her master's thesis; ② The French New Sensation School is related to the Shanghai-style writer Liu Naou. (Echoes 07, 47)

5. A DARK ACADEMIA BOOK

not ready to be found :) but it feels like it's time to try a new style!

6. A BOOK WITH A GEM, MINERAL, OR ROCK IN THE TITLE

The Glass Ball Game - Hesse

I touched one of Hesse's books at readingtree before, but I didn't finish it. This time, take the opportunity to start again.

7. A BOOK WHERE THE MAIN CHARACTER WORKS AT UR CURRENT/DREAM JOB

"The Aesthetics of the Prodigal Son and Cross-Cultural Modernity " - Peng Xiaoyan

"Love Missed" is up!!

The book of 2020 that is about to be read, put it at the end of this year.

And, within me lives the soul of a "prodigal son".

" Cultural Observation of Urban Wanderer " - Li Oufan

I like Mr. Li Oufan very much.. As long as it is his work, I will want to read it. And, my essence soul may be a "roamer" XD

Add another one that is as exciting as the above and is about to be read:

Thesis: "The Wanderer and the Origin of the Self "

8. A BOOK THAT HAS WON THE WOMEN's PRIZE FOR FICTION

Bel Canto — Ann Patchett

To be honest, this is the first time I listen to this award... I picked a book that I am probably interested in.

9. A BOOK WITH A FAMILY TREE

The Brothers Karamazov - Dostoevsky

It's a book that was almost finished last year +1, take the opportunity to end the number +1

10. A BESTSELLER FROM THE 1990S

Tuesdays with Morrie — Mitch Albom

I was a little surprised that this book was included in the book list again. First, I remembered it, and second, I didn’t finish reading it. After all, the scene memory related to this book was I was shaking my head in an empty high school dormitory to prepare to read.

11. A BOOK ABOUT FOGETTING

" Interviews in the 1980s " - Zha Jianying

This year’s renewal is to be read: The 80s of the mainland and hk are equally fascinating to me, but the familiarity of these two periods is not symmetrical, I want to try to pick up some of the past in my own land historical memory. Last year, I read "Interviews in the 1980s", which filled my imagination for the 80s in mainland China. But obviously, this book published in the mainland hides a very obvious 89 years that are not mentioned but must be mentioned. So I wanted to see a text space where I could speak to the full 80s, which would have been great.

The Field of Memory — Pierre Nora

I came into contact with "memory theory" for the first time in an article I read in 2019, and I was excited.

" What Reason Do People Forget ?" - Xu Ben

During that time, I was very fond of Xu Ben, and I wanted to finish reading the books he wrote.

Nostalgic Future — Svetlana Boym

If I remember correctly, this is probably the marked book in a lecture about the movie "In the Mood for Love" that I heard in 2020.

12. A BOOK U HAVE SEEN ON SOMEONE's BOOKSHELF (in real life, on a Zoom call, in a TV show, etc.)

The Raven — Allan Poe

Book marked during a game of Book Solitaire played at the breakup party.

13. A LOCKED-ROOM MYSTERY

Murder on Morg Street — Allan Poe

At that time, in order to find this book, I browsed some sorted secret room reasoning works, and finally chose this one. Regarding Edgar Allan Poe, I accidentally heard this name frequently in my reading last year, so I plan to read the works of this "talent" carefully this year.

14. A GENRE HYBRID

The Philosophy of Fashion - Simmel

The preface to this book mentions that Simmel's writing is more cross-disciplinary and more flexible.

15. A BOOK SET MOSTLY/ENTIRELY OUTDOORS

A book I was reading last year when I was exploring Hong Kong cultural studies (and 23 I want to read "City at the End of the Century" is the same book), I took the opportunity to read it this year.

" Emotional Education " - Flaubert

The book of heart water that I dropped when I read the paper "The Rover and the Origin of the Self" last year, and I found an opportunity to read it this year.

26. A BOOK FEATURING 3 GENERATIONS (grandparent, parent, child)

" Silent Confession " - Wu Yishi

This book is a book I read a few years ago when I was just starting another reading phase. Looking back on what this book talks about now, I can see that there are tensions in it that I ignored at the time, including early Asian immigration, cross-cultural issues, and so on. Looking forward to the new harvest of my re-reading :)

32. A BOOKABOUT A SUBJECT UR PASSIONATE ABOUT

" Ignore Two Questions: Queer Reading Guide " — Liu Renpeng / Bai Ruimei / Ding Naifei

Probably a book that I would recommend when I took the chance last year, I first read it in "Cultural Studies in the Chinese World": combining the "indifferent" with the traditional Chinese culture with the "queer situation" here. "It's great to talk about.

" The Subtlety of the Body - A Study of Object and Body Sense " - Yu Shunde / Li Shangren / Lin Shurong / Chen Yuanpeng / Guo Qizheng / Zhang Xun / Cai Yijia / Cai Biming / Zhong Weiwen / Yan Xuecheng / Elisabeth Hsu

I really like this kind of book that talks about "feelings". This is also a book that I put down and didn't read last year.

33. A BOOK THAT DISCUSSES BODY POSITIVITY

The Moral Wave Girl — Janet W. Hardy, Dossie Easton

When I started to learn about open relationships at the beginning of the year, I often heard the recommendation of this book. This book is probably one of the books recommended by Yang, who talks about sex and love on the podcast. Take the chance to read it!

"The Courageous Woman " - He Chunrui

36. A BOOK THAT HAS FEWER THAN 1000 REVIEWS ON Douban

Time Tunnel of Consumption: Reconstruction of Consumer Society Theory and Understanding of Chinese Social Consumption - Wu Jinhai

One of the reading directions in December is to understand China's "consumer society", so I randomly touched this more localized book from the library. This book has basically no comments or echoes on Douban. According to this standard, it is probably a book that I will not read... (Will I miss a lot of books because of this?) But in fact, after reading it, I feel that it is very well written. Well, I got a lot of inspiration from this. Because of time constraints, I read about 1/3 of it at the time, and I will renew this year.

37. A BOOK U THINK UR BEST FRI WOULD LIKE

"The Golden Pavilion " - Yukio Mishima

I picked this one: [2019/07] The first book you touch on your shelf with your eyes closed

almost ready to be found :)

41. THE LONGEST BOOK (BY PAGES) ON UR TBR LIST

It seems unlikely....

My Brilliant Friend — Elena Ferrante

Renewed 2019.

" Western Urban Culture Research Reader " (four volumes)

In the postgraduate entrance examination book list, because of the time relationship and the difficulty of reading, it takes a lot of time to read the tome slowly.

42. THE SHORTEST BOOK(BY PAGES) ON UR TBR LIST

The Sun and Iron - Yukio Mishima

The book I bought in 2019... I put it here in the hope that I will finish reading it as soon as possible.

43. A BOOK ON UR TBR LIST WITH THE PRETTIEST COVER

" Chinese Art and Culture " - Du Pu, Wen Yicheng

A book that was involuntarily attracted by its cover and stopped when passing by an art bookshelf. In the hand, the texture is super good.

44. A BOOK ON UR TBR LIST WITH THE UGLIEST COVER

" Modern Shanghai " - Guo Jianying (painter) / Chen Zishan (editor)

I'm sorry, I'm probably a little hard to adapt to the style of painting at that time. XD

It's just to take the opportunity to find an opportunity to continue reading "Shanghai"*

45. THE BOOK THAT's BEEN UR TBR LIST FOR THE LONGEST AMOUNT OF TIME

Europe and the Man without History — Eric.R.Wolf

A book found in a dusty Douban account.

46. A BOOK FROM UR TBR LIST U MEANT TO READ LAST YEAR BUT DID'NT

Only Pink: The Gender Politics of Aesthetic Taste — Penny Sparke

I found this book randomly in the library at that time, and I was pleasantly surprised: Scholars from a designer/architect background, and then thinking about gender issues, will see a lot of perspectives that are not seen by scholars of gender studies/cultural studies because of their backgrounds , so interesting (from a chat log at the time).

47. A BOOK FROM UR TBR LIST U ASSOCIATE WITH A FAV. PERSON/PLACE/THING

Liu Naou, Old Shanghai

" Speaking of Lust at Sea: From Zhang Ziping to Liu Naou " - Peng Xiaoyan

"Love Missed" is up!! +1 / This book is an extension of the 07 item "The Aesthetics of the Liberator and Cross-Cultural Modernity", I would love to see how people talk about "eroticism" in the book.

48. A BOOK FROM UR TBR LIST CHOSEN AT RANDOM

almost ready to be found :)

49. A DNF BOOK FROM UR TBR LIST

Sex , High Heels and Woolf - Shi Shunxiang

It's a book to be read that got an uplifting joy last year - it started the exploration of queer reading, and there is a playlist (rotation) called "Sunglasses Sleepwalking".

50. A FREE BOOK FROM UR TBR LIST

" Infernal Affairs of Colonization " - Luo Yongsheng

① "Cultural Studies in the Chinese World", which included one of the articles about Hong Kong film and television, was the springboard for this book +1. I was really happy to find this book at that time :)

② After the time returns to another kind of abundance, I plan to also return to the curious exploration of Hong Kong film and Hong Kong cultural studies :)

Forrest for 2022
