0 1 "Good weather for one person"

Douban score: 7.6 (rated by 68,324 people)

Can a person live alone?

I think it's definitely possible.

Can a person live a wonderful and happy life?

Look at me. I know. It's okay.

The heroine in this book knows how to live long. She wandered alone in Tokyo, trying to make money and accumulate life experience. Fortunately, she met an old lady with a sense of life and a positive attitude.

The old lady is 70 years old, lives alone, likes dressing up, can fall in love, still has the impulse to send chocolate on Valentine's Day, and will still be reluctant to love her at the station.

Zhishou envies the old lady's free and easy. When I am with her, I always ask some questions about my life.

For example: Is the outside world cruel?

In this regard, the old lady gave the answer-"The world has internal and external points. There is only one in this world. "

Seeing this sentence, I suddenly realized.

There was no outside world at all.

The so-called inside and outside are just the shackles we give ourselves. It trapped us in the same place and didn't dare to act. In this world, if you are willing to take the first step, everything will have a way out.

The elegance of hedgehog

Muriel Barbery

Douban score: 8.1(evaluated by 9503 people)

I first noticed this book because I liked its title.

After reading this book, I fell in love with the title because it aroused my deep * * *.

This book portrays two characters with distinct personalities:

One is the second young lady of a member's family. She is rich in luxury, smart and beautiful, but she plans to set fire to her parents' mansion on 13' s birthday and then commit suicide.

One is the concierge of a high-class apartment, widowed and ugly, with a vulgar and stupid appearance, but she has built her own inner secret room, hiding her own life wisdom and profound thoughts.

This strange encounter between young people and old people has transformed them.

In the face of the absurd world, many people will pretend to be "hedgehogs" like the protagonist in the book, and protect their secret little world with thorns all over.

I never thought anyone would come into my inner world.

Unexpectedly, one day, I really met someone with the same frequency as myself. He seems to have pressed the right password for your heart, so that you are no longer lonely.

But my advice to you is, don't confine yourself to self-knowledge and don't give up understanding others. Open your heart and you will feel the understanding and warmth from the real world.

03 "Come up for air"

George Orwell

Douban score: 8.3 (evaluated by 775 people)

If you only read 1984 and Animal Farm, you probably wouldn't believe Orwell could write a novel that was rated as "one of the most enjoyable books in the 20th century".

To tell the truth, I didn't believe it either, so I read the book seriously.

This book is about a middle-aged insurance salesman named George Bowling. He felt that life needed "some air", so he took the 17 he won from horse racing, put on new dentures, and went back to his hometown 20 years later without telling his wife, in order to get that feeling back.

It is the story of such a sentimental middle-aged man who said he would go back to his hometown.

After reading it, I have to admit that I am somewhat happy, but at the same time I am a little sad.

Because Orwell actually wrote about the plight of most of us—

Pinched by reality, robbed by goals, crushed by dreams, trapped in the cage of life.

Faced with the heavy pressure of life, some people give up their struggle and suffocate step by step.

Some people, like Ling Bao, try their best to breathe some air, although this attempt may fail.

But failure is not a tragedy, giving up is.

So please don't give up! Because I always have the key to open the cage.

04 "Flying to the West at Night"

Beryl Markham

Douban score: 8.7 (evaluated by 4320 people)

"It's well written and super good, which makes me feel unworthy to be a writer at all ..." Hemingway, a tough guy writer, recommended this book in a letter to a friend.

After reading this book, I understand why Hemingway praised it.

Burrell markham is a legendary woman. In addition to her emotional experience of scandal, her life experience is equally shocking.

At the age of 4, she followed her father to Kenya to learn how to train horses.

18 years old, becoming the first woman in Africa to hold a horse racing trainer license;

At the age of 29, she became the first professional female pilot in Africa;

At the age of 34, she accomplished the feat of flying across the Atlantic from England alone.

I read the book, as if I saw an independent and powerful woman, standing on the prairie of Africa, telling her own experience lightly, and asked me to kneel down for her.

When a person has a strong independent personality, how rich and wonderful life can be!

05 "A Man's Pilgrimage"

Rachel Joyce

Douban score: 8. 1 (2507 1 score)

The protagonist of this book is an ordinary, even failed English old man.

He worked as a sales representative in a brewery for forty years, without promotion, friends or enemies, or even a farewell party when he retired.

He and his separated wife live in the English countryside day after day.

Until one day, he received a letter from an old friend who had not seen him for twenty years and was suffering from cancer. The letter awakened his memory of the past.

Unprepared, the old man decided to visit his seriously ill friend on foot.

He walked 87 days and 627 miles.

As the journey unfolded, the old man's memories were constantly stimulated. He began to think about his past gains and losses, and his feelings that were ignored in the passage of time. Slowly, he also sneaked into his heart. ...

On the Road is a very good way of introspection, which can separate you from everyday things.

The purer this separation is, the closer you are to yourself.

You will gradually discover who you are and what you need.
