[Community Activities] Ten Books You Can't Stop Once You Open

The most interesting thing in Matt City is the community activities. You can see many different articles explaining the same theme. In addition to reading everyone's favorite books, I also want to introduce my favorite books to everyone.

Since they are books that cannot be stopped once they are opened, they are all easy-to-read books, mainly novels and comics, so I will introduce them to you one by one!

1. Osmanthus Lane / Xiao Lihong (Taiwan)

This is the story of the life of Gao Tiaohong, a girl with a severed palm.

Recommended reason: I think it is because it can describe a woman's life so sad and beautiful.

Some words and sentences have to be read out in Taiwanese to make them taste good, because the reading speed is slowed down, but instead, each word can be read more carefully.

Gao Cuihong lost her parents since she was a child, raised her younger brother, and faced the unexpected death of her younger brother. She was suffering, but she could not blame anyone for this suffering.

After marrying into a big family, the happy time was only a few years, and her husband also passed away.

The woman's lust and loneliness in the book is very subtle, but it makes people feel the same way.

My favorite is the paragraph at the end of the book. When she returned to her former residence, she saw Qin Jianghai, a man who had been in love with each other but could not tell her love, also deliberately passed by her house. At that moment, she felt that this was enough, although she never said it. , but the man kept her on his mind.

Although this love has regrets, it is enough to know each other's hearts.

2. The fatal lintel, the fatal danger/Linda. Howard (USA)

Recommended reason: Most of the male protagonists in Linda Howard's books are police detectives, firefighters or western cowboys. They are full of male hormones, but they are not the kind of muscular men with simple minds and well-developed limbs.

Most of the heroines are also good sportsmen. The dialogue between the two is full of humor and ridicule.

And although the heroine of these two books, Mo Baili, is a beautiful cheerleader with blonde hair and blue eyes, she is not a woman who only screams and waits for a man to save her.

Both books are written from a girl's first point of view, as if she had experienced the same adventure, and also talked about a bloody love.

3. No longer alone: Naoko Takagi's 40th off-single story, Mom's every day: Naoko Takagi's busy diary, another bowl: Naoko Takagi's family is full, long live! / Naoko Takagi (Japan)

Twenty years have passed since Naoko Takagi went to Beijing. From living alone to a family of three, it seems that the reader has become her friend again, witnessing every wonderful moment in life.

Naoko Takagi's painting style is warm and cute. When she eats delicious food, she always simply uses a big tongue to indicate it, which makes people want to stick out her tongue and taste delicious food with her.

Her book doesn't make a lot of sense, it just plainly draws every day and every thought that has surfaced in you and me.

Reasons for recommendation: These three books are the process from Naoko Takagi starting to have a boyfriend to getting married and having children. Probably because I am also a late marriage, I can empathize with the anxiety described in the books. On the one hand, I feel that single life is not bad, on the other hand I also look forward to finding someone I like and forming a family with him. When all these wishes come true, I greedily miss the days when I was alone. When I look at the sleeping faces of my family members in the dead of night, I feel happy on the one hand, and I miss the free time on the other hand. Woolen cloth!

4. Treat time as a friend / Li Xiaolai (China)

This book is probably the book that has changed my mind the most in recent times.

When I talked about the passage of time, I always felt lost and melancholy. I never thought that time can become my best friend, help me grow and become a brand new person.

"Time can't be managed, you can only manage yourself"

Time is fair to everyone. It doesn't add an hour to a day just because you are a beautiful person. Even if you do nothing, the sun will still set and rise. So we can't manage time. We can only manage ourselves. You can get up at what time, what to do after getting up, choose whether to watch TV or enrich yourself after get off work.

5. Have a good year / Gretchen Rubin (USA)

If "Being a Friend of Time" is the book that changed my mind the most recently, then the book "Have a Good Year" that I want to introduce now is the book that changed my attitude towards life.

I originally thought that happiness is just a kind of emotion. When you encounter good things, you will feel happy, and when you encounter bad things, you will feel lost. This is human nature. After reading this book, I found that happiness can be found, created, and can also be found. Make yourself happier by adjusting the state of your life.

Recommended reason: If you want to become more active, but don't know where to start, you can start by setting a theme for yourself every month. For example, my theme for July is challenge, so I just do what I want to try. The English-language conference host, who has been afraid to try it, started playing the fitness ring with the theme of August being health and vitality. This book is to find out what you like and what you don't like in the non-stop experiment, do more things that make you feel happy, and some things you don't like but have to do, and after finding the why of it, it becomes can challenge.

"A day is long, but a year is short"

Even if I work day after day and live, I hope this day is a happy day.

6. Library War / Hiroshi Arikawa (Japan)

The library war series is a future world constructed by the author Arikawa Hiroshi. When senior government officials used the pretext of investigating inappropriate texts and media, they set up a secret agency to forcibly inspect inappropriate texts in books. An organization that allows people to read freely.

"Books have the freedom to collect information, provide information, keep users' secrets, and refuse all improper inspections. When the liberty of the library is violated, we must unite to defend the liberty" Library Defense Team

The heroine Kasahara Iku was rescued by a library team member in high school, and she aspires to join the library defense team. The instructor in charge of leading her is a bit irritable, but sometimes gentle and reliable.

The protagonist of the book, the librarian, clarifies his stance on freedom of writing and reading by confronting the media-optimized secret service. As long as there is a keyword that does not conform to the media optimization method in the article, the writer's 100,000 words of hard work will be destroyed, and the library team members are to transport the books that may not be displayed in the bookstore in Dafang to the library, so that ordinary people can also have it. Opportunity to see.

Recommended reason: Although this set of books is a light novel, the whole series of stories is written under the position of the library team members to protect the integrity of the works, but it can also make people think. Protection is a limitation. If you use one or two It is too arrogant and arbitrary to judge a work by words. It is better to try to advocate the public to face up to their own spiritual health, learn to judge and choose classic books to read.

7. Rich Dad, Poor Dad / Robert T. Kiyosaki (USA)

Like many financial experts, Rich Dad Poor Dad is my financial introductory book. Although I still have no financial freedom after reading it for 20 years, I still think this is a very friendly introductory book for financial newbies.

Recommended reason: Being able to clearly explain the relationship between assets and liabilities with a very simple diagram, and why a house is a liability rather than an asset, has greatly subverted the cognition of "having soil and wealth" since childhood.

There are also important conceptual innovations such as cash flow and passive income.

After reading this book, even if not everyone can quickly achieve the goal of financial freedom, there will be clearer goals for the direction of financial management.

8. Beautiful Lady / Lucy ． M. Montgomery (Canada)

This is a story about an elderly brother and sister who adopted an orphan. The original book title is Anne of Green Gable, and the cartoon name is Red Hair Anne.

This is where my English name Anne comes from.

But I watched the album first, and then went back and looked for the book.

Like Annie, the character in the story, I like fantasy, sometimes a little unrealistic, pretending to be a dramatic life, a little stubborn about what I think, but I long for real friends.

Recommended reason: The book describes the scenery of Prince Edward Island in Canada in a very fresh tone, as well as the strict and loving education given to Anne by the Matthew brothers and sisters, the unique friendship between her and Diana, and the sprouting from the dispute with Gilber. affection.

It makes one imagine being in the same green-roofed house, imitating grown-up grace while drinking tea with Diana.

9. The Legend of Lu Ding / Jin Yong (Hong Kong)

This Jin Yong's closed pen is completely different from his previous style.

Wei Xiaobao, the protagonist of martial arts novels, is a fake eunuch who has been in a brothel since he was a child, stealing and deceiving everything.

But he is such a small gangster. Even if he has not read too many books, he will not say anything big to others, but he is righteous to his friends, to the people of Tiandihui, loyal to the emperor and master, and he has married nine Wife, but also sincere to every woman.

When I was a child, I admired the unwavering love between Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, but when I grew up, I realized that Lu Ding Ji was life.

Recommended reason: Even if Wei Xiaobao is not a hero in the traditional sense, it does not prevent him from becoming the protagonist in Jin Yong's novels. My impression is: we don't need to be a perfect person, possessing peerless martial arts, and worrying about the country and the people , but we can live our own lives well, play a little lame occasionally, find the most comfortable way to live, and be able to distinguish between right and wrong, which is actually a kind of justice!

10. Reprinted / Naoko Matsuda (Japan)

I bought the electronic version of the comics. The convenient place for the electronic version is that after downloading the app on the mobile phone, you can read it anywhere, so once you open it, you can't stop it.

Closer to home, the reason why this comic is recommended is that for social animals who have been lacking enthusiasm for work for a long time, they are still full of inspiration, and then when they go to work on Monday, they will have bean sprout-like ambitions and want to take work seriously. some time.

New editor Kurosawa Xin used to be a judo player, but couldn't continue because of the injury, but the training she received before that helped her have a stronger willpower in the face of work.

As a comic editor, in addition to trying to get the authors to hand over their manuscripts on time and thinking about how to make their works more accepted and loved by the general public, I also have to deal with the authors’ private lives and manage their affairs. Physical health, after all, for Comic Weekly, the author is the most valuable asset.

And this comic is to describe the difficulties and setbacks she encountered in this job, but these do not detract from the determination to push each book to reprint (reprint).

If you want to sell your proud works, you can't help but want to help them when you see enthusiastic cartoonists. Recommended reason: The works are inspirational in Japanese style, but there are not too many didactic scenes, maybe because of black Ze Xin also often screwed up a lot of things clumsily, so she could watch her grow while smiling while watching.
