The Books That Impress Me
The Little Prince
I read The Little Prince when I was 10 years old. At that time, I was fascinated by this fantastic world and interesting figures. However, I didn't understand why my teacher said this was a book that every French man would read before their marriages until I grew up and read it repeatedly.
Three Kingdoms
This is a historical novel that talks about the fight between three states in China. I started to heard of the stories from this book at the same time when I learned to speak. Conclude my feeling about it in one sentence--for me, it plays the same role as the Greek mythology for Europeans.
POPSOFT
POPSOFT is a semimonthly magazine that introduces the latest news about computer and software, as well as popular computer games. I made me a computer enthusiast at the time I even didn't have access to the Internet.
The Books That Bring Me Awful Memories
The Fall of the House of Usher
The old building, the brother and sister... everything gives me unforgettable fear. Also some ideas that hidden behind the story, such as schizophrenia and fornication,
are obscure to me. However, Allen Poe is still my favorite horror fiction writer.

The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
This novel talks about a boy with same age as me, but his living environment is completely different. I cannot make connection and reflection when read the story about this Dominican family.
The Books That I Want to Share with Others
FEED
This is a science fiction novel that introduces a future world where people strongly rely on computers. It is worth reading since nowadays we may simplify believe that high technology will always help us and never consider the hidden problem.
The Shallows
Again this is a book that talks about what the Internet is doing to our brain. It points out some useful findings, such as our young people spend many hours in front of computer, thus we form a new way of doing social and entertainment. I think it is good for our computer uses to think about this tendency and our behavior.
