具体描述

Information is endlessly available to us; where shall wisdom be found?" is the crucial question with which renowned literary critic Harold Bloom begins this impassioned book on the pleasures and benefits of reading well. For more than forty years, Bloom has transformed college students into lifelong readers with his unrivaled love for literature. Now, at a time when faster and easier electronic media threatens to eclipse the practice of reading, Bloom draws on his experience as critic, teacher, and prolific reader to plumb the great books for their sustaining wisdom. Shedding all polemic, Bloom addresses the solitary reader, who, he urges, should read for the purest of all reasons: to discover and augment the self. His ultimate faith in the restorative power of literature resonates on every page of this infinitely rewarding and important book.

序言很好。正文中提到的书目，之前读过的会有新的理解，没读过的更多是当做书单了，比如说 Hazlitt 和 Samuel Johnson 准备有空读一下，还有不少莎士比亚需要重读。布鲁姆真是喜欢莎士比亚啊，最高的赞美就是 Shakespearean... 另外司汤达的《帕尔马修道院》已经是第三次遇到了，除这本外还有卡尔维诺《为什么读经典》以及帕慕克 Other Colors..

下午在图书馆休息，顺便拎出来看了看，老谈possession by memory，想起自己爱在嘴边背的那些诗。irony那个讲法感觉被认识的一个老师偷学走了。Housman常读常新，What are those blue remembered hills...看前言想起现在学校英语系研究生清一色gender and sexuality和African...
