    太久了!

    太久没有真正地让自己完全沉浸到书的世界中去。How I missed the feeling of sinking my teeth deeply into a great book, gorging myself with its essence!!
     
    今天一早就捧着一大摞书到阳台,在躺椅上开始我的“书旅”:
     
    Richard Morgan - Black Man
     
    Richard Morgan的这本新作刚出炉不到一周,我可是已苦等了近一年了。从Altered Carbon到Broken Angels,从Market Forces到Woken Furies,他笔下的人物可说一个个酷毙了。尽管场面有时暴力血腥得令我这个嗜血之徒都不由得心寒,但没有任何人能否认他作品内容的深刻和立意的新颖,也正是这点把他区别于更加"trashy"的作家们。
    这本Black Man现在只看了个开头,already got me all exceited, expecting a true roller-coaster ride!
     
    Hal Duncan - Vellum
     
    和Black Man截然相反,这是本我不能也不舍看快的书。 每次拿起它都需要点勇气,每次放下它都庆幸自己鼓起了这点勇气
    简单地说,Vellum的概念大致相当于天堂与地狱,时间和空间,梦想和现实的总和吧。但Vellum中的时间是三维的,所以除了过去未来(前后)之外,还有平行宇宙(左右)和不同“层次”(上下)的存在如天堂地狱。
     
    可以想像在Vellum的世界中穿梭行走是种什么感觉吗?!
     
    Jeff Vandermeer - Shriek
     
    去年拿到这本书时的欣喜,后来慢慢变成失望,所以曾一度将它抛到一边。但慢慢的,似乎越来越能接受那细腻繁复得近乎多余的描写,越来越习惯narrator那冰冷的口吻,Ambergris这座不可思议的城市就这么在脑海中一笔笔,一句句地慢慢成型……
     
    Michael Moorcock - Dancers at the End of Time
     
    “时间尽头的舞者”,多么浪漫诗意的名字!Just looking at the name, no one would suspect how "literal" it actually is! This is pure surreal Decadence at its very best, a grand study in human emotions, motivations and ethics!
    虽然只看了几十页,我已经深深被书中那五彩斑斓光怪陆离的布景所吸引,但更令我心折的还是那些关于伦理道德的奇谈怪论。太多太多离经叛道甚至令人发指的理念,但不得不承认这也很让人耳目一新。
      
    Jack Vance - The Dying Earth
     
    这是我现在看的书中少有的“简单”的享受。古雅流畅的文字轻松地讲述一个个有趣的故事,不用我绞尽脑汁去read between the lines。Some nostalgic feelings...
     
    China Mieville - Iron Council
     
    这本书硬是看了我快三年还没看完,开始我还很有几分负罪感,因为China Mieville前两本惊世之作Perdido Street Station和The Scar都让我几乎废寝忘食地看完的。但时间长了,发现也不一定是我的问题,而是这本书情节实在发展太慢,每次我都得咬牙瞪眼才能进行几页。
    With all that said, still a great book, and a good test of patience and will power, well well well...
