當(dāng)我談讀書時(shí)我在談些什么

工作地點(diǎn)旁邊的大樓里有兩個(gè)二手書店刹前,中午沒事時(shí)會(huì)隨手淘幾本書毛嫉「し梗看在村上的大名和一百八十頁的薄度上川无,這本《當(dāng)我談跑步時(shí)我談些什么》就被我收入了囊中。

順便說一句虑乖,二手書店真的是個(gè)神奇的地方懦趋。剛進(jìn)門時(shí)看到滿地滿墻推起來的書時(shí)讓人有種莫名的飽足感,但當(dāng)你靠近一排排書架的時(shí)候又會(huì)產(chǎn)生一種饑餓感疹味。估計(jì)是因?yàn)橹形缫谝恍r(shí)內(nèi)吃飯和買書所以沒吃飽仅叫,又或者是因?yàn)閷?duì)知識(shí)的渴望帜篇,對(duì)未知的好奇。浮躁的心在這里沉靜了下來诫咱,從角落里堆砌成山的舊書中找到心儀的那本是每天中午讓我最快樂的事笙隙。

至于什么是讓我心儀的書,除了作者坎缭、出版商和內(nèi)容本身要能吸引我以外竟痰,書名也起了很大的決定因素。現(xiàn)在就擺放在我書桌上掏呼、從二手書店淘的書有:<The Rape of Nanking> by Iris Chang; <The Argumentative Indian> by Amartya Sen; <A Thousand Pieces Of Gold> by Adeline Yeh Mah, <Love's Executioner> by Irvin D. Yalom 等等坏快。在看到這些書名時(shí),我就默默有種‘這些書就本該屬于我‘的感覺憎夷。

讓我對(duì)二手書店著迷的另一個(gè)原因莽鸿,是這里大部分的顧客和我一樣,都是單純地抱著對(duì)淘到一本好書的向往而來的岭接。沒有什么別的目的富拗,單純的、自發(fā)地來到這里鸣戴。這樣的氛圍讓我很放松啃沪。村上春樹也在這本書中分享到,他與其他跑步者們有一種相同的磁場(chǎng)窄锅,當(dāng)擦肩而過時(shí)创千,他們的呼吸頻率、小腿肌肉的用力程度入偷,甚至是臉上流露出來的表情都顯得格外的親切追驴。這就是我對(duì)二手書店的感覺。

開始不為考試而讀書是從前年開始的殿雪,讀了一些,但今年也因工作越來越少有專門的讀書時(shí)間锋爪。買的書倒不少丙曙,但許多都是讀了前幾頁之后就擱置了。偏偏我喜好讀歷史類的小說其骄,這類書一般較難讀懂亏镰,有的內(nèi)容會(huì)很沉重,不適合用零碎時(shí)間來讀拯爽。

讀書時(shí)我喜歡一個(gè)人呆著索抓,找個(gè)陽光投射地正好、人煙稀少的地方,邊聽歌邊看書逼肯。聽什么歌其實(shí)不太重要耸黑,我只是習(xí)慣一個(gè)人的時(shí)候放個(gè)歌當(dāng)背景音樂。最近比較沉迷Lauryn Hill汉矿,Angel Haze (Battle Cry) 和Spotify的Love, Sex & Water歌單崎坊,還迷上了Jony J和毛不易。村上春樹在跑步的時(shí)候有大致固定的歌單洲拇,大多是有節(jié)拍奈揍、節(jié)奏感并且可以鼓舞人(堅(jiān)持跑下去)的歌曲。我之前跑步的時(shí)候喜歡聽Eminem赋续,聽他咒罵人生男翰,越跑越來勁。但目前對(duì)我來說讀書和音樂可以同時(shí)并且不打擾彼此的進(jìn)行纽乱,無論放什么類型的音樂似乎不太會(huì)影響我讀書蛾绎。

不知道大家為什么讀書。對(duì)于我而言鸦列,我讀書一來是想獲取知識(shí)租冠,二來是對(duì)這個(gè)世界的好奇。想看看其他人的生活是個(gè)什么樣薯嗤,想從平凡的生活中發(fā)掘意想不到的東西顽爹。最近發(fā)現(xiàn)了一本介紹印度尼西亞的草藥Jamu的書,有趣的是這些草藥甚至其原理都與中國的草藥相似骆姐。作為一個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)東南亞文化镜粤、生活在這里、也去過日惹(Jamu盛產(chǎn)地)的人玻褪,竟然沒聽說過也沒見過肉渴,回頭看看自己生活的還是不夠仔細(xì)啊。也感謝有書籍可以幫我補(bǔ)上旅行后留下的遺憾带射。

第十頁同规,打動(dòng)我的是最后一個(gè)自然段

說說這本書吧。

說是談跑步窟社,這本書囊括了村上春樹對(duì)寫作捻浦、對(duì)人生、對(duì)自己等等的看法桥爽。如果沒能把人生活明白,他是不可能把整本書寫得行云流水昧识,在各個(gè)領(lǐng)域自由切換的钠四。

其實(shí)讀這本書,更像是在讀我自己∽喝ィ看看自己和這位偉大的作者之間有多少相同之處(還挺多的)侣灶,又有多少不同之處。雖說村上春樹在書中描寫自己的能力缕碎、才華時(shí)寫得太謙虛了褥影,但自己跟他之間最大的差距就應(yīng)該就是堅(jiān)持和專注吧。

因?yàn)樗龅搅艘患此坪?jiǎn)單卻被許多人中途放棄的事情咏雌。生活中許多的看似無意義凡怎,重復(fù)的小事,例如跑步赊抖,或者一份無聊的工作统倒,就像是《小王子》中描述小王子對(duì)玫瑰的感情一樣,只要用心將這些事情堅(jiān)持的做下來氛雪,都能找到它們對(duì)于你的意義房匆。以下節(jié)選來自《小王子》:

“You're beautiful, but you're empty...One couldn't die for you. Of course, an ordinary passerby would think my rose looked just like you. But my rose, all on her own, is more important than all of you together, since she's the one I've watered. Since she's the one I put under glass, since she's the one I sheltered behind the screen. Since she's the one for whom I killed the caterpillars (except the two or three butterflies). Since she's the one I listened to when she complained, or when she boasted, or even sometimes when she said nothing at all. Since she's my rose.”

也有可能是處在一段迷茫期,我對(duì)村上春樹這種看事情簡(jiǎn)單明了报亩,非常了解自己所長所短浴鸿,并且能分清楚想做的和不喜歡做的人尤其敬佩。在他的世界里弦追,事情應(yīng)該都很簡(jiǎn)單吧岳链。不喜歡的不做,喜歡的就盡全力做骗卜,如果才華不夠就用強(qiáng)大的專注力來湊 ———用專注力如鉆井水般挖掘僅有的才華宠页,最后再用跑步訓(xùn)練自己的耐力,然后擁有更加強(qiáng)大的注意力寇仓。

村上的跑步的規(guī)則就是:不步行举户,跑到終點(diǎn)線。在他跑到快要放棄的時(shí)候遍烦,想的永遠(yuǎn)都是如何使兩條腿動(dòng)起來俭嘁,如果腿跑不動(dòng)了就用手臂的力量帶動(dòng)身體前進(jìn)。一步服猪、兩步供填、三步,最后跑到終點(diǎn)線罢猪〗看似簡(jiǎn)單,人人(在他們自己的想象中)能做到的事情膳帕,村上春樹在現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中做到了粘捎,這就是這本書最打動(dòng)我的地方薇缅。

也是因?yàn)檫@本書,一直斷斷續(xù)續(xù)無章法跑步的我攒磨,終于有了想系統(tǒng)訓(xùn)練和戰(zhàn)勝未知的決心泳桦,報(bào)名了今年年底的半馬。這也可能是這本書對(duì)于現(xiàn)階段的我的意義吧娩缰。


摘抄我喜歡的句子:

Foreword:?

In each shave lies a philosophy. No matter how mundane some action might appear, keep at it long enough and it becomes a contemplative, even meditatitve act.?

Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.?

One:?

To keep on going, you have to keep up the rhythm. Once you set the pace, the rest will follow.?

What's crucial is whether your writing attains the standards you've set for yourself. Failure to reach that bar is not something you can easily explain away. When it comes to other people, you can always come up with a reasonable explaination, but you can't fool yourself.?

The point is whether or not I improved over yesterday.?

I run in order to acquire a void.?

So the fact that I'm me and no one else is one of my greatest assets.?

Right now, I'm running hard. I'll wait till later to think about what it all means.?

Two:?

Since failure was not an option, I'd have to give it everything I had. My only strength has always been the fact that I work hard and can take a lot physically.?

I never could stand being forced to do something I didn't want to do at a time I didn't want to do it. Whenever I was able to do something I liked to do, though, when I wanted to do it and the way I wanted to do it, I'd give it everything I had.?

When you are young, you really need to prioritize in life, figuring out in what order you should divide up your time and energy.?

I have to pound the rock with a chisel and dig out a deep hole before I can locate the source of creativity.?

Life is basically unfair. But even in a situation that's unfair, I think it is possible to seek out a kind of fairness.?

People basically become runners because they're meant to.?

Three:?

Being active every day makes it easier to hear that inner voice.?

No matter how much you might command your body to perform, don't count on it to immediately obey.?

There are three reasons I failed. Not enough training. Not enough training. Not enough training.?

Train meticulously and resicover what I was physically capable of. Tighten up all the loose screws, one by one. Do all that and see what happens.?

I'm writing, in other words, to put my thoughts in some kind of order.?

Four:

Most important quality a novelist has to have: Talent. Focus. Endurance. Focus - the ability to concentrate all your limited talents on whatever's critical at the moment. Endurance - the energy to focus every day for half or year, or a year, two years.?

You'll naturally learn both concentration and endurance when you sit down every day at your desk and train yourself to focus on one point.?

Exerting yoursel to the fullest within your individual limits: that's the essence of running, and a metaphor for life.?

Five:?

If something's worth doing, it's worth giving it your best - or in some cases beyond your best.?

Six:?

You have to wait until tomorrow to find out what tomorrow will bring.?

It should add a few new elements to your inventory in understanding who you are.?

I didn't come here to walk. I came to run. That was the rule. Break one of my rules once, and I'm bound to break many more.?

That's life. Maybe the only thing we can do is accept it, without really knowing what's going on.?

Seven-Nine:?

Until the feeling that I've done a good job in a race returns, I'm going to keep running marathons, and not let it get me down.?

It is precisely because of the pain, precisely because we want to overcome that pain, that we can get the feeling, through this process, of really being alive.?

Maybe it's some pointless act like pouring water into an old pan that has a hole in the bottom, but at least the effort you put into it remains.?

What's most important is what you can't see but can feel in your heart.?

One by one, I'll face the tasks before me and complete them as best I can. Focusing on each stride forward, but at the same time taking a long-range view, scanning the scenery as far ahead as I can.?
