The runaway French bestseller hailed by the "New York Times" as "a survivor's guide to life in the chattering classes." If civilized people are expected to have read all important works of literature, and thousands more books are published every year, what are we supposed to do in those awkward social situations in which we're forced to talk about books we haven't read? In this delightfully witty, provocative book, a huge hit in France that has drawn attention from critics around the world, literature professor and psychoanalyst Pierre Bayard argues that it's actually more important to know a book's role in our collective library than its details. Using examples from such writers as Graham Greene, Oscar Wilde, Montaigne, and Umberto Eco, and even the movie "Groundhog Day," he describes the many varieties of "non-reading" and the horribly sticky social situations that might confront us, and then offers his advice on what to do. Practical, funny, and thought-provoking, "How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read" is in the end a love letter to books, offering a whole new perspective on how we read and absorb them. It's the book that readers everywhere will be talking about--and despite themselves, reading--this holiday season.

评分近日《小团圆》在两岸三地走红,哪怕是没有读过原书的报刊读者,也往往会从种种介绍与评论中抓住原书梗概,进而建立对它的印象与评价――它们很可能是主观的,却像光晕一般裹著原书,构成了它在社会上的形象。 上述现象其实并不罕见。试想想,有多少经典我们明明不曾读过,却...
评分「不用讀完一本書,就可以評書」,夫子聽了肯定斥之荒謬,視之懶性云云。然而,夫子,當「天下的書」不再等於「四書五經加聖經」,大家買書比讀書快之際,找尋一套快而準的讀書及評書功夫,實在是必要的。Pierre Bayard今次不談讀書,只談評書,重點是:如何能夠不讀一本書而順...
评分阅读习惯渐渐产生了一些变化。之前所崇尚的''书非通读而不读也''的执拗,开始被理智占了上风。文章读得愈多,而一本一本读书的野心开始平和。 我解,''并不是有那么多时间字读通赏珠玑必较的''。当然,通常情况下这类言语分明是遁词,而事实却证明,我因此比之前一段时间阅读量...

评分the content doesn't really match the title, it is rather an analysis of such situations in literature...the arguments derived from the stories seems to be unbalanced and shaky to me...even if valid, only restricted to the field of literature...
评分Has its moments, but overall not worth taking seriously.
