Thanks to you all for sharing different perspectives and takes of this author Li Yiyun and her stories. And for the books that Xiaoying managed to buy and bring back to us. Loads of reading! We also enjoyed the treats that you all brought. We had a great evening, but we did miss Xiaokang and Alan!
It looks like the summer's reading materials are in our hands, and that we are to meet on June 24, but that need to be confirmed with a later notice. The general guidelines provided by our leader are that we should report our own reading to the group. That should be easy for everyone!
That wraps up another month's reading gathering. For those of you who have lots of stories, write them up. We may have many Li Yiyun among us!
Till next book....

感谢竹林子为我们精心选择了三篇有代表性的故事。如果昨天热烈的讨论激发了你的好奇心，不妨把十个故事都读读，也许你会对李翊云有更近一步的了解。
说她是因为描写中国黑暗面的才受到国外媒体的青睐是有些人一贯用来攻击先在国外走红作家说辞。
她的小说对我来说有些夸张，但是我不得不佩服她编故事的能力，她像Amy Tan一样是个讲故事的的能手。虽然她反复强调她不带有任何政治倾向，但是她的每一篇作品里都透着她对人性的敏锐观察，对社会不公的抨击，对小人物及生活在社会边缘人的深刻的同情。
尤其在当下的中国，致富梦人人做，能有这么一个有良知的作家时不时地提醒世人，触痛一下旧伤疤，揭露一下时弊，尤为可贵。
作者虽然用很简单的语言描述，讲解她的故事，透过她的故事，反映出来种种的社会现象。她编写人物性格看起来平凡简单，蕴藏着深刻的含义，看似平静的湖面，实际沸沸扬扬的。看得出来浮躁的社会现象，体会到浮躁的人生。
看了3篇就想买下来这本书作为收藏。以后慢慢读完。
每次读书会，都觉得议论的，理解的，学习的得不够。一睁眼，又一眨眼，时间就那么飞走了。但是，有读书会激励我们去读书比没有强，来参加读书会比不来更强。收获太大了。
一睁眼，一眨眼，一本书就过去了；
光眨眼，不闭眼，一辈子光读书了 ：-）
光闭眼，不眨眼，就别读书了。
