好几个星期以前看见这个长长的清单,http://laurenleto.wordpress.com/readers-by-author/ 相当有趣。很多很多作家我都不知道,还有很多我在书店看封面看得眼熟但是从来没下手翻过。我读过的作家里,有些我同意,有些我基于亲身经验很不科学地不能同意,有些评论我认为很奇怪,或者说,很冤,对作家和读者来说。
我相当同意的:
Stephenie Meyer
People who type like this: OMG. Mah fAvvv <3 <3.
Lauren Weisberger
Girls who can’t read. Or think.
Charles Dickens
Ninth graders who think they’re going to be authors someday but end up in marketing.
Dan Brown
People who used to get lost in supermarkets when they were kids.
Anais Nin
Librarians.
Virginia Woolf
Female high-school French teachers who have their master’s degree.
Richard Dawkins
People who have their significant other grab them under the table in order to shut them up whenever someone else at a dinner says something absolutely ridiculous and wrong.
Oscar Wilde
People who can’t resist anything. See also, people who claim they’re going to change but never do.
基于自身经验不能同意的:
Douglas Adams
People who bought the first generation Amazon Kindle(我们家就没有这玩意儿!)
Tom Clancy
People who skipped school by hiding out in the gym.(小爱很爱上学,不喜欢运动)
Kurt Vonnegut
People who played Creep by Radiohead while having sex or smoking pot(就不详细解释了,一个否字了得)
Jorge Luis Borges
People who took care of their dying grandparents.(我没有过这机会)
Terry Pratchett
People who really like monkeys.(小爱很讨厌猴子,不过没有我讨厌)
Neil Gaiman
People who can name at least two Miyazaki films.(小爱可以讲出四部,我可以至少讲出十部,不过还是不知道Neil Gaiman是谁。而且只看过Coraline的动画电影,拍得非常好)
James Joyce
People who do not like John Cusack movies.(小爱看不下去both)
我觉得莫名其妙和很冤的:
F. Scott Fitzgerald
People who get adjustable-rate mortgages.(盖茨比的钱好象不是跟银行死磕来的)。
Thomas Aquinas
Premature ejaculators.(为什么啊!)
Lewis Carroll
People who move to Thailand after high school for the drug scene.(爱丽丝只是脖子变长或者变短了,并没有high或者stoned)
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sommeliers(他们更倾向于起劲地要你点某种酒而且付很贵的账,而不是很虚无地说“点错酒又如何”)
