bookshop in alkmaar, holland by Eugene Swiss

Jlsathre,25 Things I Learned From Opening a Bookstore:Lesson 5. If someone comes in and asks for a recommendation and you ask for the name of a book that they liked and they can't think of one, the person is not really a reader. Recommend Nicholas Sparks.

潔莎特(Jlsathre)是美國伊利諾州的一位退休律師,孩子長大後決定改行開一家舊書店,而領悟出25條人情世故:法則5. 如果有人請你推薦書,但你問他喜歡什麼書他卻一本也說不上來,那麼這個人並不是一個真正的讀者。給他推薦尼古拉斯.斯帕克斯(Nicholas Sparks,美國暢銷言情小說作家)即可。

故事:介於兩次呼吸之間的「存在」

在《故事終結》(The End of a Family Story,1977) 中,納道什·彼得(Nádas Péter)以故事敘述反思思考與記憶的界線。他寫道:

「每當涉及真正的問題,每當需要思考的時候,無法思考的頭腦就會用一些小小的軼事來安慰自己,你明白嗎?但是不管怎麼樣,我都會講給你聽。不過我要預先告訴你,很抱歉,你不要試圖從中尋找任何教訓。故事,不過是發生一次的生活細節而已,故事裡面不存在教訓。你只有找到 inzwischen(此刻),總是在兩個故事之間,在兩次呼吸之間,dazwischen!中間)。」

“Whenever it comes to real questions, whenever one actually needs to think, a mind that cannot think will comfort itself with a few little anecdotes — you see what I mean? But in any case, I’ll tell you the story. Only, I must warn you in advance: please don’t try to look for any moral in it, I’m sorry. A story is nothing more than a detail of life that happens once; there is no moral in a story. You can only find the inzwischen — the ‘in the meantime,’ always between two stories, between two breaths — dazwischen! (in-between).”
(Nádas, 1998, p. 123)

這段文字揭示了作者對「故事」本質的哲學性理解——故事並非道德的載體,而是一種介於兩次呼吸之間的「存在」。

愛墾的梗:

換着音樂來說,就是連周杰倫的旋律都嫌太長之人,千萬別一上來就推薦貝多芬或莫札特,他會當場耳朵過敏,逃到隔壁KTV去點神曲。


現在不是古典還是流行的問題,而是人們根本不「聽完一首歌」了。誰還願意耐心從頭聽到尾?三十秒不合意,拇指一滑,連作曲家都來不及自我介紹。

換着中文書來說,就是連劉墉、吳若權都沒聽過之輩,千萬不好一下子就給他介紹蔣勛或黃春明,他會嚇得立即丟下書,眨眼逃到三條街外。

現在不是讀劉墉或蔣勛的問題,而是人們根本不讀書了,誰還愿意捧一本課本以外的書籍,請過去看他多一眼,他快要變成恐龍了。
