1. Norwegian Wood

The status of this book is self-evident. Many people entered the book from this book. The literary palace of Haruki Murakami. The story tells the emotional entanglement between the male protagonist Naoko, who is emotionally unstable and suffering from mental illness, and the cheerful and lively Midori Kobayashi. From this process, a journey of self-growth and self-understanding began.

Murakami’s books always have a light, yet gripping power. This work captures the common experience of adolescent boys from self-loss to self-salvation, and has aroused the excitement of generations of readers.

I like Murakami translated by Lin Shaohua. The language is soft yet powerful. There is a fragment in this book that describes Watanabe and Midoriko playing at home. When they saw a fire in the distance, the two young men climbed onto the balcony and kissed involuntarily after speaking to each other's hearts. This is one of my favorite moments. It seems absurd, but it is so natural. Isn't this our youth?

Naoko, a seemingly incomprehensible character, uses the most extreme way to preserve her most simple and passionate love. It also expresses the conflict between ideals and reality and the purgatory spiritual journey of a generation.

Reading this book will make you follow Murakami on another journey of youthful self-confusion and self-salvation. After baptism, you will become a person who understands yourself better.

This book has some magical overtones. Murakami’s writing technique often alternates between a main line in reality and a dotted line in the magical world. , seemingly disorganized but intricately detailed, making people want to stop.

This is my favorite among Murakami’s works. It tells the story of the 15-year-old Kafka who ran away from home on the eve of his birthday in search of his mother and sister who abandoned him, and to escape the prophecy that "he will kill his father and marry his mother"

This work will The sense of powerlessness, youthful confusion, the most authentic desires in human nature, and the original sin mentioned by the author are perfectly integrated. After reading it, you will be baptized from the soul.

When Kafka struggled to get out of a paradise-like place, he understood the meaning of life and wanted to live strong for all those who loved him. Just like my favorite sentence "You who escape from the sandstorm are no longer the same you when you entered the sandstorm"

3. The Dancer of Izu

Kawabata Yasunari is a A typical Japanese-style writer, this book describes the story of a 19-year-old boy who travels to Izu alone to relieve the unspoken melancholy and depression in his heart.

4. The Fantastic Journey of the Shepherd Boy

This book is a classic allegorical novel by the famous Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho. It uses rich philosophical and poetic elements in the novel. The language tells the fantasy adventure story of Santiago, a shepherd boy in pursuit of treasure. Very enlightening and motivational. This book has a strong religious overtone and tells the story of a young man's journey from knowing himself to pursuing his ideals and finally perfecting his life.

5. Be good and touch your head

My favorite among the best-selling authors is Da Bing. This old Scorpio writer calls himself a wild writer.

I like the aura of the rivers and lakes that comes with him. He has a dream as a horse, can live anywhere, and can travel freely and freely to the end of the world. He can play all life roles brilliantly - host, street singer, bar owner, wild writer.

This book will tell you that there can really be people who live completely different lives than us. You can work from 9 to 5, or you can travel around the world.

This is really a book that you won’t want to put down once you start reading it. I started reading at nine o'clock that night. I wanted to read it as a good night reading, but I couldn't stop reading it. I didn't want to stop until I finished it at three o'clock in the morning. I was left sitting alone in front of the window, unable to calm down for a long time.

Of course, I read this book twice and savored every story in it. A good story is like a glass of fine wine worth savoring. The wine passes through the intestines and leaves a fragrance on the teeth and cheeks.

6. White Night Walk

This book has been recommended too many times and seems too cliché, not because we all love him so much!

The most After reading Keigo Higashino's entry-level works, I also started to read him, and I fell in love with Keigo Higashino so much as a writer that I couldn't help myself. The intricate plot, the stunning story, the touching "criminal", and the era that is so sad that it cannot be changed contribute to the entire magnificent story.

After reading the work, I was still deeply involved in it. I didn’t want to wake up, so I dug out the remake of TV series and movies, hoping to experience it again in the form of audio and video. But I was very disappointed. In the TV series, the ending was shown at the very beginning, and the whole story changed completely. During the reading process, I was particularly looking forward to the appearance of the superintendent, because he could lead me closer to the truth. But while watching the show, because I knew the ending in the first episode, I really hated seeing the superintendent’s face in the show. I felt that it was his ghost that lingered and clung to him, which led to this pitiful incident. tragedy.

Therefore, it is highly recommended

Just read the book, not the drama!

Just read the book, not the drama!

Just read the book, not the drama! Watch the show!

Say important things three times.

7. Good Weather Alone

This book is especially suitable for finding a warm weekend, lying on the sofa alone, or finding a quiet coffee shop and putting on headphones. , enjoy the sense of calm brought by words.

This book describes how a part-time job girl gets along with her eldest relatives while pursuing herself and pursuing independence in "a life like boiled water".

What it reflects is that young people are unwilling to work full-time and would rather do freelance work. They seem to be pursuing freedom, but in fact they hide their unwillingness to grow up, take responsibility, and are afraid to go out and see. The anxiety of this world.

Maybe this book will give you the courage to take the first step from the boring life of boiling a frog in warm water. The author wants to tell us "As long as you are willing to take the first step, there will be a way out."

8. Walking between love and hate

The author of this book, everyone I am very familiar with it. This book is the text version of his early trip to Japan to do the program "Iwamatsu Sees Japan". He used his many years of professional experience in media work to gain an in-depth understanding of the country we "hate to the core" in the most objective and calm way. Iwamatsu takes us to truly see that country, listen carefully to the sounds there, and seriously think about the history, humanities, economy, politics, and many other aspects between Japan and China.

As he said, "Put down love and hate and understand first." Only then can we see more things clearly and go further.

I personally think that this book not only allowed me to see a different Japan, but also to understand that nation and that country. More importantly, Yansong taught me an attitude towards things and changed my way of thinking about problems. It also completely taught me how to think rationally from that radical and ignorant angry young man, and formed a thinking mode of understanding first, then speaking.

She shows you the weakness of human nature behind domestic violence. Revealing the imbalanced mentality hidden under the overly positive appearance.

She shows you the hard work and hardship of media professionals. There are also the influence of those mentors and helpful friends on life and the power of companionship.

She uses the most authentic perspective to tell, spread, and influence readers and the audience in front of the media. I think she is the kind of media person who has a sense of responsibility, because the strong guidance of the media determines the particularity of this industry. A little ideological deviation or personal bias will lead to ideological misleads for the public. . So they have no room for error.

I like this kind of work that can open my eyes and correct my perspective. Reading makes people wise. This is the feeling.

10. The Unbearable Lightness of Life

I think this book is very profound, and the background of the story is full of historical color.

This book uses philosophical thoughts to analyze the true meaning of love, including the love between men and women, the love of friends, and the love of the motherland.

Reading this book will make you understand that you must have a belief in life and cannot leave your destiny to chance. You can only scratch the surface of this book after reading it once. It is recommended to read it several times to purify your soul.
