10 Books You Will Read Again | My 10 Favorite Books
It is not easy to pick ten books from the books I have read. After a lot of thinking, I decided to focus on the book that I "will read again and again". Some books are so moving when you read them that you forget them soon after. But some books are just read and read.
Among the ten books, seven are novels. It is certain that each of these seven novels is a classic! The so-called classic is that there will always be people watching, and there will always be people sharing and introducing. Let’s take a look at the two classics first.
. Classic novel.
1. "Journey to the West"|Author: Wu Chengen (middle)
When I was a kid, I thought Sun Dasheng was so handsome! The seventy-two transformations and somersault clouds alone are very strong, and there are Ruyi golden hoop rods that can be stretched and shortened. My favorite chapter has always been the havoc in the heavenly palace. The elixir and the great sage of Pantao eat so much that they are caught not only without dying, but also with golden eyes and fiery eyes. They are definitely the strongest in the universe. It's a pity to meet the Tathagata Buddha with Wuzhi Mountain... Later, in the part of Journey to the West, I felt that Tang San was very annoying and abusive, Zhu Bajie only had one mouth, greedy and lustful, it was really annoying; Sha Seng, he wouldn't like him, nor won't hate him. When I grow up, I will see not only the power of Sun Monkey, but also the different sides of each character. Although Sun Wukong is highly skilled, he also has his shortcomings; although Tang Seng is long-winded, he also has his perseverance, otherwise he would have broken his lust and precepts long ago; although Zhu Bajie is delicious and lazy, isn't he a portrayal of ordinary people? Sha Ru... just... just... very diligent... and all kinds of monsters have been used as materials by many animes.

2. "A Dream of Red Mansions "| Author: Cao Xueqin (middle)
A book that I didn't understand completely when I was a child, I only understood it in high school. I really realized that this book is not easy, it was after I left the society. There are hundreds of characters in the book, ranging from the commoners at the bottom, to the maids of the Grand View Garden, to the young lady, the master and the wife of the Jia Mansion. Each character is very three-dimensional and has its own personality. Imagine that if you want to make a full-length drama, you have to hire hundreds of actors. No matter how many scenes are involved, there are corresponding scripts, and they are all independent scripts. The meticulousness of this character alone is amazing. Hundreds of characters, each of whom has a different idea, staged scenes of human nature in Daguanyuan, and you will not get tired of watching it ten times.
Whether in the market or in academia, I don't know how many people are studying the book "Dream of Red Mansions". From the author, to the characters, to the plot, some people are discussing. The study of the study of "Dream of Red Mansions" is called "Red Learning", a novel can reach this Realm, it is really not enough to watch it several times!
. Jin Yong's novels. "Where there are Chinese, there will be Jin Yong's novels circulating." Many of his martial arts novels have been made into TV series. Haven't read his novels, at least heard of "Jin Yong novels"? There are four of them that I have read over and over again.
3. "Swordsman"| Author: Jin Yong (middle)
Among Jin Yong's novels, the most read is "Swordsman". The most exciting part of "The Swordsman" lies in "politics and human nature". The power struggle in the novel is a portrayal of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign. There will definitely be people in society like Yue Buqun who are full of conspiracies but always pretend to be a "gentleman", and there will also be people like Zuo Lengyu and Ren Woxing who do everything to gain power. , you can also find Fangzheng and Chongxu that participate in it due to the current situation. In addition, Linghu Chong's boldness, Hengshan Sanding's righteousness, Taogu Liuxian's talk show, and the quarrel between the master and his wife are all the highlights of "Swordsman". My personal favorite is, of course, the transcendent Ling Guchong.
I really feel that The Swordsman should be listed as a textbook in the politics class. The Swordsman is also the best political novel in my heart.

4. "Eight Dragons"| Author: Jin Yong (middle)
"Swordsman" focuses on politics, and "Dragon Babu" focuses on the tragedy of life, and the protagonists have to face the worst things in life. Xu Zhu watched his mother die in front of him; Xiao Feng killed his favorite Azhu himself; Duan Yu watched his parents die in front of him... Every time I read these paragraphs, I felt sad... Not only the protagonist , Other characters also have to encounter helpless things. Xiao Yuanshan died of his wife, the abbot had an affair with someone and had a son, and the "leader brother" killed a good person by mistake... There is really no worst, only worse. But the whole book is not only a tragic tone, but also a lucky plot. Jiu Mozhi was "sucked" by Duan Yu's martial arts, but he found his original heart to Buddha; Duan Yanqing knew that he had a son and went back to the mountains and forests. I have to admire that Master Jin Yong is really excellent in character characterization and plot arrangement.

5. "The Legend of Heaven and Slaying the Dragon"| Author: Jin Yong (middle)
If you have the ability, you have to take the corresponding responsibility. It must be Zhang Wuji, who saved the Ming Sect people; forced back the masters who came to Wudang Mountain to coerce Zhang Sanfeng; rescued the masters of various martial arts factions in the fire. He can do these things only because of his high martial arts skills, such as Jiuyang Shengong, Qiankun Great Movement, and Taijiquan and Taijijian. If your martial arts is not high enough, let alone saving people, it will be difficult to even protect yourself. The first few times I saw it, I only felt that Zhang Wuji was simply too strong, there was no opponent he couldn't win, and if there was, he would learn new martial arts. The best ones are, of course, "War on the Bright Summit" and fighting people with Tai Chi. I've read these two chapters no less than ten times.
In addition to Zhang Wuji, friendship is also something to watch. The Seven Heroes of Wudang are like brothers and sisters; although there are disputes among the masters of the Ming sect, none of them surrendered in the face of a powerful enemy. Baimei Yingwang protects Mingjiao, and does not want to stay out of the affair, preferring to die together with the church members. When I saw it for the third time, I noticed that Yin Baimei and friends shared hardships, which was very touching!

6. "Liancheng Jue"| Author: Jin Yong (middle)
The first Jin Yong novel I read, I chose him because this is a short story in Jin Yong's novel. Talk about the very bad side of human nature, and at the same time talk about the very bitter side of people. Killing his own daughter for the sake of treasure; "heroes" who threw away their conscience for the sake of life; brothers of the same school who kill their masters and then fight each other; frame the innocent for the sake of beautiful women... This is a very bad side of human nature. Innocent country boys were framed and imprisoned, their bodies were beaten with pipa bones, watching their loved ones were killed; watching apprentices kill their own martial artists, there is really no hardest, only more hardships. If "Dragon Babu" is a gray tone, "Lian Cheng Jue" is almost completely black. Fortunately, the love between Ding Dian and Ling Shuanghua, as well as the friendship between Ding Dian and Di Yun, brought a ray of light to the dark story.
. Speculative fiction.
7. "Sherlock Holmes" series | Author: Conan . Doyle (English)
This series needs no introduction, right? Enlightenment I do not know how many mystery novelists. An eternal classic in Benguet's reasoning, and it will endure for a long time. Sherlock Holmes can always detect important clues that others don’t pay attention to. The most classic one is “Why doesn’t the dog bark?” When the matter is explained, it will make people exclaim "that's it". Even if you know Sherlock Holmes' abilities, it's not easy to become Sherlock Holmes at all. Super observation, erudite knowledge, and reason that is not affected by emotions are just barely qualified. Forever gold in my personal mystery fiction list. By the way, the protagonist "Conan" of the famous Japanese animation "Detective Conan" is the name of the author of "Sherlock Holmes".
. philosophy·
8. "Zhuangzi"| Author: Zhuangzi (middle)
Zhuangzi can be classified as a book of thought or philosophy, or you can think of Zhuangzi as a storybook like Harry Potter or Aesop's Fables. The body of a fish is thousands of miles long; the back of a Dapeng bird is also thousands of miles long; there are gods who can drink the dew by inhaling the wind; Liezi can "walk against the wind"; Paoding can see the gaps in the tendons of cows. Nine years of slaughtering the ox has not changed the knife; the battle between the dead and wounded can occur on the snail's horn... Just watching these fantasy stories is exciting enough.
The wonderful thing about "Zhuangzi" is not only the story, but also the thought in it. When I was in middle school, I was able to recite the master of health care word by word, and I knew that "Paoding Jie Niu" came from Zhuangzi. After taking a literature class, I read "Xiao Yaoyou" and was completely shocked by Zhuangzi's world of thought. The beginning is "There is a fish in the north, its name is Kun, and the Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is." Then "flying up", "flying in the wind", "little knowledge and big knowledge", almost all of them refresh my view of the world cognition. Of course, the eternal debate of "the joy of fish" is indispensable. Huizi said, "You are not a fish, so you know the joy of fish?" Zhuangzi said, "You are not me, but you know that I don't know the joy of fish?" It seemed like elementary school students were arguing, but if you want to go deeper, it is a very deep learning.
The books introduced above all have one thing in common. With the experience of life, what you see will be different, and different stages of life will have different feelings. As long as a storybook can do this, it can be called a masterpiece.
. Personal inspiration・ I don't know if the last two books can be called classics (the above eight books have all passed the test of time), but they have greatly inspired my life.
9. "I decided to live a simple life"| Author: Noriji Sasaki (Japan)
Many people have changed their lives dramatically because of reading this book - to go to minimalism. Only very limited and practical things are left in the living space. The less things you keep, the more space you have, and the more comfortable you will feel. Because of this book, the original collection of almost 1,000 books now has less than 100 books, and it is still decreasing. The textbooks and homework from elementary school and middle school were recycled; the postcards and heartfelt cards that my friends wrote to me were thrown away. There are only a few sets of clothes that come and go. Life is simpler, richer, and more able to focus on what you want to do; impulse purchases are drastically reduced. If you feel that you have too many things in your living space, I sincerely recommend this book to you.

10. "The Art of Thinking" | Author: Rolf. Dubury (Germany)
This book talks about a lot of thinking fallacy. At first glance, people will understand that there are some unforced thinking traps. These traps can be seen almost everywhere. The "moon halo effect" is caused by handsome guys and beautiful women; ; I bought stocks that lost money and didn't want to sell them, so I fell into the "sunk cost fallacy"... The most amazing thing is that even if you read the book and know the existence of these biases, you will fall into these thinking traps intentionally or unintentionally. You know that the chances of the stock going up are very slim, but you refuse to sell it; you need to check more information to prove that your thoughts are true, but you always think you are right... Read this book to let yourself know yourself How stupid, see more memory, make yourself less stupid.
These are the ten books that I have read again and again.
