一共几本本介绍的好书,选一下吧~
1
The Blind Side,by Michael Lewis.This is the story of how changes in football strategy - driven primarily by Bill Walsh and Lawrence Taylor - made today's left tackles absurdly valuable to a football team.It's also the amazing story of one such future left tackle,Michael Oher,a lost boy in Memphis who is taken in by a white family and,with their constant care,gradually morphs into a freak talent.Since Michael Oher himself is an extremely quiet young man,almost never quoted,this book longs for his voice,but the book also more than makes up for what's missing with the insight into pro football offered by Taylor,Walsh,and one of San Francisco's offensive lineman from their glory years.

What Makes Sammy Run?A Novel by Budd Schulberg.This novel was written about fifty years ago.It's told from the point of view of a newsman who goes to write for Hollywood,but the main subject is the narrator's acquaintance,sometimes friend,the character Sammy.I picked this book up as part of my research into the science of ambition,because Sammy is nakedly ambitious like no other.He uses everyone in his path,manipulating and cheating his way through every situation,to rise up from New York copy boy to Hollywood executive in a decade.Sammy is an appalling figure,and yet we,like the narrator,can't seem to take our eyes off him.We root for him to fail,and he never quite does.The book was a classic when first released.It's set against the early creation of the Writers Guild in Hollywood (the author also wrote the movie On the Waterfront.) It holds up today as a very compelling novel.

Breakfast with Tiffany,by Ed Wintle.A memoir about a gay man in New York City who takes in his niece,a troubled teen from the cultural wasteland of the suburbs.The book chronicles their first year together.It's wonderful.This book should be read by teens and their parents together.It will create lots of conversations.For instance,about whether teens are better off in a city (where there is so much to do) than in the suburbs,or the way Ed being an unconventional father figure somehow made it safe for Tiffany to love him,and not reject him.

Comfort Me With Apples,by Ruth Reichl.Written in a breezy,casual voice,Ms Reichl's memoir of her early days as a food writer actually handles some tricky writing challenges very artfully.For instance,she has an ongoing affair with her editor,and yet we never find her unlikeable and don't judge her.She indulges in food,for the mere sake of pleasure,and yet I never found this off-putting.Maybe part of it is that the book is set in the early days of California cuisine's emergence,and so we can say,"hey,everyone did that back in the 70s," but I think it should get more credit than that.Enjoyable,and then a surprisingly powerful ending that I didn't see coming and which made the whole book pay off.

A Sense of the World,by Jason Roberts.In this true narrative,Jason Roberts reconstructs the life of James Holman.Holman was in the British Navy in the early 1800s when he went blind.In an amazing turn,he manages to defy all odds and go on great adventures.He became,before the era of the steam engine,the world's greatest traveler.In his day his books were huge bestsellers,and he was famously known as "The Blind Traveler." But his envious competitors eventually were able to discredit him,falsely,and by the end of his life he was forgotten.By the early 1900s he had disappeared from encyclopedias.Roberts reconstructs all of this,in painstaking detail,with graceful writing,resurrecting this man's legacy.A fabulous book.

The Pact:Three Young Men Make a Promise and Fulfill a Dream * * * Three young African American men grew up in a very difficult neighborhood in Newark; they met in high school and after some hard times made a pact to support each other in their dreams.Fourteen years later,Sampson Davis and George Jenkins are doctors,and Rameck Hunt is a dentist (his life-long dream).The story alternates between their three voices.I can think of no better book that demonstrates the transformative power of being surrounded by like minded and supportive people.They reversed the peer pressure that pushed them towards the streets and crime,using positive peer pressure to keep them on track to their dreams.
