BETWEEN THE ASSASSINATIONS |
9781848872073 |
ADIGA, ARAVIND |
The dazzling new book from the winner of the 2008 Man Booker Prize: one of the summer’s most eagerly anticipated works of fiction. In Between the Assassinations, Aravind Adiga brings to life a chorus of distinctive Indian voices, all inhabitants in the fictional town of Kittur... His new book sizzles with the same humour, anger, and humanity that characterized The White Tiger. On India’s south-western coast, between Goa and Calicut, lies Kittur – a small, nondescript everytown. Aravind Adiga acts as our guide to the town, mapping overlapping lives of Kittur’s residents. Here, an illiterate Muslim boy working at the train station finds himself tempted by an Islamic terrorist; a bookseller is arrested for selling a copy of The Satanic Verses; a rich, spoiled, half-caste student decides to explode a bomb in school; a sexologist has to find a cure for a young boy who may have AIDS. What emerges is the moral biography of an Indian town and a group portrait of ordinary Indians in a time of extraordinary transformation, over the seven-year period between the assassinations of Prime Minister Gandhi and her son Ranjiv. Keenly observed and finely detailed, Between the Assassinations is a triumph of voice and imagination. |

GILBERT, ELIZABETH |
It’s 3 a.m. and Elizabeth Gilbert is sobbing on the bathroom floor. She’s in her thirties, she has a husband, a house, they’re trying for a baby – and she doesn’t want any of it. A bitter divorce and a turbulent love affair later, she emerges battered and bewildered and realises it is time to pursue her own journey in search of three things she has been missing: pleasure, devotion and balance. So she travels to Rome, where she learns Italian from handsome, brown-eyed identical twins and gains twenty-five pounds, an ashram in India, where she finds that enlightenment entails getting up in the middle of the night to scrub the temple floor, and Bali where a toothless medicine man of indeterminate age offers her a new path to peace: simply sit still and smile. And slowly happiness begins to creep up on her. |

PICOULT, JODI |
When Charlotte and Sean O’Keefe’s daughter, Willow, is born with severe osteogenesis imperfecta, they are devastated – she will suffer hundreds of broken bones as she grows, a lifetime of pain. As the family struggles to make ends meet to cover Willow’s medical expenses, Charlotte thinks she has found an answer. If she files a wrongful birth lawsuit against her ob/gyn for not telling her in advance that her child would be born severely disabled, the monetary payouts might ensure a lifetime of care for Willow. But it means that Charlotte has to get up in a court of law and say in public that she would have terminated the pregnancy if she’d known about the disability in advance – words that her husband can’t abide, that Willow will hear, and that Charlotte cannot reconcile. And the ob/gyn she’s suing isn’t just her physician – it’s her best friend. Handle With Care explores the knotty tangle of medical ethics and personal morality. When faced with the reality of a fetus who will be disabled, at which point should an OB counsel termination? Should a parent have the right to make that choice? How disabled is too disabled? And as a parent, how far would you go to take care of someone you love? Would you alienate the rest of your family? Would you be willing to lie to your friends, to your spouse, to a court? And perhaps most difficult of all – would you admit to yourself that you might not actually be lying? |

AUDREY, NIFFENEGGER |
This extraordinary, magical novel is the story of Clare and Henry who have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-two and Henry thirty. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself pulled suddenly into his past or future. His disappearances are spontaneous and his experiences are alternately harrowing and amusing. The Time Traveler's Wife depicts the effects of time travel on Henry and Clare's passionate love for each other with grace and humour. Their struggle to lead normal lives in the face of a force they can neither prevent nor control is intensely moving and entirely unforgettable. |

MANTEL, HILARY |
"Hilary Mantel’s “Wolf Hall”, a historical novel about English kind Henry VIII’s advisor Thomas Cromwell, was named winner at a ceremony at London’s Guildhall. It was the bookmakers’ favourite to win. From one of our finest living writers, Wolf Hall is that very rare thing: a truly great English novel, one that explores the intersection of individual psychology and wider politics. With a vast array of characters, and richly overflowing with incident, it peels back history to show us Tudor England as a half-made society, moulding itself with great passion and suffering and courage.

OUTLIERS: STORY OF SUCCESS,THE |
9780141043029 |
MALCOLM GLADWELL |
Why are people successful? For centuries, humankind has grappled with this question, searching for the secret to accomplishing great things. In this stunning new book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an invigorating intellectual journey to show us what makes an extreme overachiever. He reveals that we pay far too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where successful people are from. Gladwell examines how the careers of Bill Gates and the performance of world-class football players are alike; why so many top lawyers are Jewish; why Asians are good at maths and why it is correct to say that the mathematician who solved Fermat's Theorem is not a genius. Like Blink, this is a landmark work that will simultaneously delight and illuminate. |

FRANK, ROBERT H. |
Why do the keypads on drive-up cash machines have Braille dots? Why are round-trip fares from Orlando to Kansas City higher than those from Kansas City to Orlando? For decades, Robert Frank has been asking his economics students to pose and answer questions like these as a way of learning how economic principles operate in the real world--which they do everywhere, all the time.Once you learn to think like an economist, all kinds of puzzling observations start to make sense. Drive-up ATM keypads have Braille dots because it's cheaper to make the same machine for both drive-up and walk-up locations. Travelers from Kansas City to Orlando pay less because they are usually price-sensitive tourists with many choices of destination, whereas travelers originating from Orlando typically choose Kansas City for specific family or business reasons.The Economic Naturalist employs basic economic principles to answer scores of intriguing questions from everyday life, and, along the way, introduces key ideas such as the cost benefit principle, the "no cash left on the table" principle, and the law of one price. There is no more delightful and painless way of learning these fundamental principles. |

Jim Rogers |
Legendary investor Rogers cofounded the Quantum Fund with George Soros in 1970, retired at the age of 37 in 1980, and spent a number of years traveling through China and six continents by motorcycle. He recently fathered two daughters in his sixties and wrote this small memoir to share with them some of the insights that he has garnered from his experiences. He advises to make your own decisions in life rather than listening to others, to figure out what you love to do and focus on that rather than what is expected of you, and to have a dream and to live your dream. In the area of finances, he says to save and invest early on rather than spending frivolously, so that you will be able to afford the important things in life later, and to do your own research, draw your own conclusions, and look to the future—not the past—for great ideas. These and other nuggets of wisdom from this self-made man are worth reading several times over. |

KRUGMAN, PAUL |
"Paul Krugman, winner of the 2008 Nobel Prize in economics, shows how today’s crisis parallels the events that caused the Great Depression – and explains what it will take to avoid catastrophe.
In 1999, in The Return of Depression Economics, Paul Krugman surveyed the economic crises that had swept across Asia and Latin America, and warned that those crises were a warning for all of us.
In this new, greatly updated edition of The Return of Depression Economics, Krugman shows how the failure of regulation to keep pace with an increasingly out-of-control financial system set the United States, and the world as a whole, up for the greatest financial crisis since the 1930s. He also lays out the steps that must be taken to contain the crisis, and turn around a world economy sliding into a deep recession. Brilliantly crafted in Krugman’s trademark style—lucid, lively, and supremely informed – this new edition of The Return of Depression Economics will become an instant cornerstone of the debate over how to respond to the crisis." |

"When you loved the one who was killing you, it left you no options. How could you run, how could you fight, when doing so would hurt that beloved one? If your life was all you had to give, how could you not give it? If it was someone you truly loved? To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, a tumultuous year of temptation, loss, and strife have led her to the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or to pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the fates of two tribes hangs. Now that Bella has made her decision, a startling chain of unprecedented events is about to unfold with potentially devastating, and unfathomable, consequences. Just when the frayed strands of Bella's life--first discovered in Twilight, then scattered and torn in New Moon and Eclipse--seem ready to heal and knit together, could they be destroyed... forever? The astonishing, breathlessly anticipated conclusion to the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn illuminates the secrets and mysteries of this spellbinding romantic epic that has entranced millions. " |

弃对中国政经体制与「六四」天安门事件的发言权，在老部属杜导正等人的协助下，
于二○○○年左右，以京剧与儿歌录音带，秘密录制至少三十六卷录音带，留下逾
三十小时的珍贵录音。赵紫阳以铅笔标记编号后，分头交由数人带出。此事连其家
人也仅有耳闻，直到二○○五年赵紫阳过世后，才在孙子玩具堆中找到整套的原版
录音带。赵紫阳秘书鲍彤之子鲍朴花了两年时间搜集录音带，终使完整内容于二○
○九年出版。
做为邓小平时代改革开放的代表人物，赵紫阳对于社会主义路线当时已有许多质疑，
不管是「六四」事件，对民主与法制的省思，对同时期亚洲四小龙包括台湾的经济
奇迹，更充满钦羡与肯定。赵紫阳个人的心路历程，记录了社会主义中国如何面对
统治危机与经济困境，特别是二十年前「六四」决定武力镇压的始末，以及发展市
场经济的激烈斗争，也是中共高层至今，最诚恳面对历史的回忆录。" |

死后四十种生活 |
9789868456976 |
大卫．伊葛门 |
"字宙间另一层生命的存在意义，即在消失后的生命依然拥有无限的可能性！
在死后世界中，上帝如微生物般大小，所以无法察觉我们的存在。在另一种死
后世界中，造物者是愚蠢的生物，他创造人类是为了弄清楚自己能力不及之处。或
者上帝如同《科学怪人》里的法兰克斯坦，制作出他心驰神往的巅峰之作后，却只
想逃离其所创造的东西。又或者，在死后世界里，上帝根本不存在。
我们到了死后世界，所有的事情会再重新发生，只是倒退著进行；或许顺序全
数重组，相同的事情聚集在一起，一次做个够；或者我们可以同时享受所有可能，
平行过著多重的生活；或者在死后世界里，我们可以选择下辈子要投胎转化的物种。
我们只是别人梦境中的背景人物；我们会分裂成不同年纪时的自我；我们是宇
宙地图制作师所使用的活动机器人；我们是分裂原子联盟再结合后的产物；我们是
诸神想了解两人之所以能在一起成为对偶的实验对象；我们是上帝的癌细胞。
这是一本由四十篇独立故事集结而成的小说。每篇故事提供不同的理由来解释
我们的存在和生死的意义。神经科学家大卫．伊葛门想像出来的精彩故事，趣味、
慧黠，但也同时让人惴惴不安，透过这些讽刺挖苦却引人深省的观点，我们得以从
全新的角度来观看自己的生命。" |

人间喜剧 |
9789573324904 |
胡晴舫 |
"两个世纪前，法国有大作家巴尔札克的《人间喜剧》，道尽十九世纪巴黎的人性兴衰；
两个世纪后，旅居香港的胡晴舫，则写出了属于二十一世纪全球化时代下的《人间
喜剧》。
十则短篇故事，跨越中、港、台及欧、亚各地，有人们在爱情、财富、权力、
工作之间的种种挣扎，也有逃脱不了的贪婪、背叛与欲望。
以文化社会评论见长的胡晴舫，文学作品一向量少而质精，在一贯浓厚都会性
及现代感的文字下，除了备受论者称道的冷静清明之外，这幕人间喜剧更多了一份
对人性缺陷的同情与宽悯。" |

一点小信仰 |

米奇．艾尔邦 |
"历经八年探索，畅销书作者米奇．艾尔邦深入两个真实人物的生命，带给我们一个关
于「希望、坚持、认错与相信」的故事。
故事从一个问题开始：「你愿意为我撰写祭文吗？」问这问题的人，是米奇小
时候参加的犹太教会里的牧师。这时老牧师已经八十二岁。为此，米奇回到他出生
成长的故乡，踏入一个他曾经知道但被他抛开多年的世界。
与此同时，他在目前居住的城市结识了另一位叫做亨利的基督教牧师。亨利牧
师特别关注穷人和游民，但他曾经由于贩毒入罪坐牢。
这两位牧师，一白一黑；一个六十年如一日，而今垂垂老矣，一个曾误入歧途、
历经沧桑但现在虔诚又热心；一个谨守宗教仪式、生活规律，另一个则在温饱边缘
奋斗。他们带领的会众不一样；他们祷告的方式也不同。
在这一切的不同之中，他们有一个相像之处：他们都是有信仰的人。老犹太牧
师，因著信仰而无惧于死亡迫近；黑人基督牧师，倚靠信仰来带领他和他教会的信
众渡过艰难的每一日。" |
