Book Review: Great Cheap Books

There is one fabolous thing about Shanghai, Cheap Chinese Books!

The books doesnt come cheap in the expense of its quality. And i can assure you these are not pirated books like the one you can get in Pasar Seni. In fact, i bought all of these books from the BIG bookstores which are on par with Borders or Kinokuniya in KL.

The three books which i've bought only cost me RMB 65, which is around RM 32.00, can you believe that?

1。 <徐志摩散文珍藏>

This is one of the best recommended books (along with others from famous authors like 朱自清，鲁迅 etc.) by the scholars for young adults in China. Its a collection of the famous author/poet/Romantisist-徐志摩's writings. Most people recognized him for his famous poetry-“偶然”

我是天空里的一片云
偶尔投影在你的波心
你不必惊异， 更无须欢喜
在转瞬间消灭了踪影　

你我相逢在黑夜的海上
你有你的，我有我的，方向
你记得也好，最好你忘掉
在这交会时互放的光亮

The book is kinda like a self revelation and travel log of the writer. In which during his stay in foreign land (in Cambridge, Paris, Itali etc.), he converted all the ignited thoughts about life into beautiful words.

Chinese like to use tea art to represent life, the more you tasted, the more fragrant it is (看生活似茶，愈品愈浓). Thats exactly how i felt when i read his poetry words, the more i read, more thoughts/inspiration sprang out of my mind. This is definitely a must read book, as his writings does not confined to the definition of time and generation.

2。分手信

An English-Chinese translated novel by Nicholas Spark ( the one who wrote message in the bottle, the notebook, a road to remember etc.). Not sure whether the translated version is as good as the english version or not. However what really attracted my attention is the excerpt at the back cover of the book:

離開，才是真正的愛。

一紙揉皺了的分手信
一句不得不說出口的對不起
一個關於割捨的故事

什麼叫做真正地愛一個人？在你內心深處，是否也有這樣的迷惘？
甚至，是否也藏有一個分手的決定、一段分手的記憶？

3。听说爱情回来过

A love story by an unknown china writer, the story was first published online and received great comments from its readers. will see how good it is.
