Books I read these few months


I like reading book, and i read few books recently. I think those are pretty good.


(1) The Minds of Billy Milligan(24個比利)


I read the Chinese version. it's a true story about the guy called Billy, who had 24 different personalities, those personalities not even have differnet characterises but age, nationalities, gender. He did many bad things, raped women, robbed the bank, sold drugs....etc, but he didnt know he didnt all those things. After the long jugement, he released from the jail, because he was diagnosed with multiple personality disorder. It's a quite attractive book, but it made me confused also, too many people mentioned in this book.


(2)The stolen Child (失竊的孩子)


I read the Chinese version also. It's about the fairy stole the little boy-Henry's life when he was seven then the fairy became Henry and started the "human" life and Henry became the fairy and lives in the forrest. We called this changeling. When the fake Henry grew up, he became a famous musician, he has beautiful wife, child, family, everything but... he met the real Henry few times.... and at the end he felt guilty, because he stole Henry's life...I like this book so much. Very interesting, attractive. It's talked about piano, music. That's why i like it more.


(3) Shopaholic and Baby


It's the book wrote by Sophie Kinsella, who is the New York Times Bestseller. This is the first book i read by her. It's a thick English book, but the writer use the relaxing and interesting style to write this book. I bought her other book" Can you keep a secret?" as well. I think her book is not difficult to understand. And it's funny. Girls can try to read this book.


(4) Tuesday with Morrie


It's a famous book by Mitch Albom, many people mentioned it, and even some of the books said that it's one of the books you must read before you die. It's about philosophy of life. How to make your life more meaningful in different field, Money, Family, Love, Emotion, etc.


There are many Golden quote in this book.

" If we learn how to die, then we know how to live our life much more better."


" Each night, When i go to sleep, I die. And the next morning, when i wake up, I am reborn."


Talk about family, " It's not the same as having someone whom you know has an eye one you, is watching you the whole time. This is part of what a family is about, not just love, but letting others know there's someone who is watching out for them."
