• Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow ----- by Jerome K.Jerome
  [Hui's comment:It is a collection of humorous essays. The auther is cynical a little far. Even that, it is an interesting book in general. There are quite a bit impressive words. ]
• The Prince ------ by Niccolò Machiavelli
  [Hui's comment:The words are very realistic. The auther suggested that princes should be selfish and rely only on themselves. They also need to learn how to build reputation and whitewash their ill deeds. They need to play politics to maintain their government. Differnent from "The Art of War", it talks about how to govern sovereignties after achieve them and the later tells you how to win the war.]
• 南怀瑾谈：心兵难防
  [Hui's comment: 南怀瑾先生认为，“心兵”是“心、意、识”自讼的状态，“在我们的心中脑里，随时都有矛盾乱流”，“有理性和情绪上的斗争”，“如果心兵不动，自心的天下就太平了”。这是南怀瑾先生作品的选编，很薄的一本书。心兵自控，这便是修养。修生养性不是对人，而是对己。真正的快乐是稳定的平和的。很喜欢这本书。)

• 欲望之源
• 论雄辩 ----- by François Fénelon
  [Hui's comment: 针对“雄辩”这一命题，作者分三篇对话对其进行了鞭辟入里的阐述。对话人物A是主讲人，B主要用于提问题和意见，助于A观点的展开。C就是跑跑过场的。）第一篇，作者批评了一些自命不凡者的故弄玄虚的浮夸讲道，华丽的表面高于实质。第二篇中，该费纳隆同学阐发了一个演说家应当遵循的演说艺术原则，提出演说家“必须把花里胡哨的装饰从演讲中一个不留的去掉”，应该着重于演说的目的“证明，描绘和打动人心。” 第三篇里作者解释了“圣经”的重要性，以及讲道者该如何给民众讲解这部神学巨著。]
• 亡灵对话录 ----- by François Fénelon
  [他人评论:"在‘亡灵对话录’中，费讷隆假设历史人物在天堂或地狱相见，在对话中倾诉各自的感想。这些人物往往不是同时代的，而是一些根本不可能相遇的人，有著名作家、历代君王，政治家、驰骋疆场的骁将等各色人。每一篇对话环绕一个主题，涉及的面很广，或谈论治国之道，或谈论权术、荣誉、道德、诗歌、绘画等等，不一而足。"]

• Selected Short Stories of Washington Irving----- by Washington Irving (DONE, personally I don't very much like it though there are some goods stories but most are too....... boring for me)
• 安格思首部曲:传奇初现
  [Hui's comment:这本书开始大部分真的很无聊，到了全书2／3处开始有点意思。个人感觉没有很大文学价值。这是一部历史小说，因为是北欧历史，我是一点都不懂，即使读了这本书还是一头雾水。或许因为之前从来都没有接触过类似的东西。唯一值得一提的是它的精神线路是围绕基督教义在荒蛮的北欧大陆传播展开。如果说这本书有思想性，那就是这点宗教性。关于各种宗教，我发现确实非常的有意思。宗教对一个国家民族精神的影响，以及其对民族现状起到的决定性作用超出我之前的认识。]
• 小人得志
  [Hui's comment:看前大半部分你会觉得这是不是什么成人文学，看到剩下20％的时候，觉得不愧为非常现实书系，这就是中国，这就是官场，和我从小耳濡目染的相合。当在全书最后一节我看到“在廉政风暴已经席卷全国的今天”，我心里嚷了声：烂书！作为非常现实书系的成员，居然有如此一个不现实的结尾，加上成人文学般现实的头80％，实在是烂书！看到凌晨两点就为了这本书。sigh！]
• 温莎墓园日记(DONE，有佳篇，多晦涩)
• 世事如烟
  [Hui's comment:这是余华1986－1998的小说集。里面的故事如书名：烟一般的不确定。我常常看着看着就找不到行文的逻辑。后来发现每一个故事都是一个迷，只有宿命，不需逻辑。其间的人物都梦游一般，被命运摆布着，看似自己在生活，其实身不由己。所有故事都在一种黯淡朦胧的氛围下展开，或者说是诡异。让我想起之前看得笔名残雪的女作家写的《最后的情人》。 目前只读过余华的《活着》和现在这本，觉得他的作品有很强的宿命感。相比《世事如烟》，我觉得《活着》更加成熟。早期作者还还迷恋于奇异怪诞的情节，隐秘潮湿的风格，后者是那种现实平淡中见深刻。]
• 许三观卖血记(他小说中的人名总是那么富有乡土气息，什么三观，玉兰，富贵，来喜，来顺，就差一个叫旺财的了。很喜欢他韩文版本自序中的一段话：“有这样一个人，他不知道有个外国人叫亚里士多德，也不认识玫瑰，他知道的事情很少，认识的人也不多，他只有在自己生活的小城里行走才不会迷路。当然，和其他人一样，他也有一个家庭，有妻子和儿子；也和其他人一样，在别人面前显得有些自卑，而在自己的妻儿面前则是信心十足，所以他也就经常在家里骂骂咧咧。这个人头脑简单，虽然他睡着的时候也会做梦，但是他没有梦想。”)

Biography:

• 曾国藩传
  [Hui's comment:he lived in a special historical period of China. The historical limitation in his mind was obvious which, however, was not his fault. Comparing to his contemporaries, he was excellent already. Chinese modern history can never make me happy. But, history is history. ]
• 白宫首席金融智囊格林斯潘 (Alan Greenspan)
  [Hui's comment: Finally finished the book. It seems take forever since there are plenty of professional economic knowledge which makes the book hard to read (for me). Alan Greenspan is more like a politician. He is the kind of pepple who like to control and enjoy being powerful which may be more attractive to him than money itself. ]

  [Hui's comment:非常好的关于芳疗精油与女性健康的书。对精油的介绍比较全面，各种配方用法易懂易行，很适合初级芳香友们，个人感觉比金韵蓉写的要好些。斟酌参考: )]
• 女人说话
  [Hui's comment:百家讲坛出的一个访谈录。有女性作家，学者，企业家，话题围绕着“女性”这个关键词，从哲学，历史，政治，生理以及心理各个方面讨论女性在社会中的角色。有些关于女作家的访谈还不错。很不喜欢那些满是官腔的阙词，看到党和人民，看到社会主义建设等等脑子就自动短路。看公安大学某教授说讲的“女性与参政”，脑子从头短路到尾。我这个人有个习惯，不喜欢看书看一半，这就是我看完这本书的原因。有和我一样坏习惯的过客们，建议还是不要开始看这本书的好。]
