The Interpretation of Murder: A Novel (Pocket)
-
As a thriller, the book is passable. The plot is quick enough, the characters intriguing enough, the twists and turns surprising enough.
But as a detective novel, it is laughable. A good detective novel should make you want to solve the mystery along with the protagonist, and should also leave yo ... (continue)

The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy
-
It's an interesting idea to follow a T-shirt from its birth to its death (or reincarnation in some cases). One discovers that there is so much more than just market forces at work - politics mainly. The old arguments of free trade versus protectionism now sound so inadequate, once you realize that ... (continue)

Steve Jobs is a biography, but it might as well be a chronicle of consumer electronics of the past 30 years. In fact, Steve Jobs was so pervasive in the digital industry that you'd be hard-pressed to find an aspect without his name on it. From computing to music, from movies to phones, he l ... (continue)

如果以科幻小說而論，張系國的《星雲組曲》不算得十分突出。可能我看得多其他大師的作品，如Henry Kuttner, Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury等等，比較之下西方作品更引人入勝。但有個別故事卻令我印象難忘，如《銅像城》和《傾城之戀》。短短的幾十頁，描繪的卻是千萬年的宇宙文化興亡史，其氣勢的磅礡在華文科幻著作中實屬罕見。看完之後，恨不得張系國立即寫一本宇宙全史，因那些呼回世界、蓋文族、蛇人、安留紀等等的創作實在太吸引了！

多篇發人深省的小故事，部分雖無甚新意，但當中的智慧，多看幾次也值得。

This book on running easily outruns any other book on sport. It talks about the obscure Tarahumara tribe and their amazing running legends, tells spellbinding stories of ultramarathons and their gurus, reveals the true secrets of running, and - most importantly - gives us back our true identity: that we are all born to run.
