Writer and critic Manguel's (Reading Pictures) elegantly elliptical and wryly contemporary diary of cities revisited and books reread during 2002 and 2003 opens with a journey he undertakes to his birthplace, Buenos Aires, just after Argentina's economic crisis in December 2001. As Manguel's reading overlaps with jotted observations of Buenos Aires, he reflects on the meaning of homeland, and on memory. Nostalgia and the significance of cities—in personal and literary terms—are themes that preoccupy Manguel on further trips to London, Paris, Germany and Canada. Yet Manguel is less melancholic than thoughtful and joyfully postmodern. At home in rural France, his reflections range as widely as on his travels, emerging as he tidies his library, converses with writers Mavis Gallant and Rohinton Mistry, and receives visits from his adult children. His eclectic reading matter includes H.G. Wells, Conan Doyle, Margaret Atwood, Kipling and Goethe. And he quotes from many more writers: Chateaubriand, Virginia Woolf and Chesterton, to name but a few. Manguel delights in list making—whether of favorite detective novels, mad scientists or literary heroes. Manguel's exquisitely distilled style and gentle humility are pure pleasure. His diary is a gold mine of the unexpected, and his companionable, deeply cultivated persona will entrance all those who love to read and to ponder.

评分我花了一个小时的时间将整本的<The Changing Face of China>复印了下来,即使我知道在这个寒冷的季节里我是没有勇气去面对它的。 《阅读日记》是更好的选择,我永远都会喜欢将阅读融于生活的人和写作风格,这就是为什么我不读萨特的著作却喜欢他的书信集的原因。 Alberto Man...

评分一月一日 新年的第一天我没有出门,看了woody allen的scoop。晚上在metropolis shanghai 的歌声中继续看《阅读日记》。接着我喝了一点酒,阿尔维托喜欢的那些侦探小说有点让我厌烦。cd里突然出现爆竹的声音,让我记起今天是新年了。接着是飞机轰炸的声音,这是一支描写1937年的...
评分《阅读日记》这本书写的很随意,不过是作者的一些读书随感,但随意之中也有精心,往往是最打动作者的一些片断,又是想到写到,往往跟时事结合起来,作者读书时的心路,便与时下巧妙地联系起来,所谓书是常读常新,作者在回顾这些曾经读过并喜爱着的书的时候,这些书又一次活了...
