Introduction
I read 13 books this month.
- There are four books on geography. If you are also interested, it is recommended to read “Geography and Life” first, then “All Possible Worlds”, “Geography and Geographers” and Tuan Yifu’s biography “Who Am I?” 》. By reading in this order, you can feel the breadth and depth of geography, and have a fun tour of geography from the macro history of geography to the micro geographer. My own reading order is “Geography and Life”, “Who Am I?” ”, then “Geography and Geographers”, and finally “All Possible Worlds”. This order is also more interesting, allowing me to discover the difference in Mr. Duan’s status in the following two books. Geography and Geographers gave him two or three pages, and All Possible Worlds only one sentence. This series of profiles reflects the time granularity and knowledge density of the latter two books: the latter one covers a longer period of time, so there is no space to introduce humanistic geography in too much detail.
- Mr. Duan’s autobiography “Who Am I?” Inspired by “Who am I” in the title, I found several books to read. Unexpectedly, under the same topic, the scope of content is really wide. I personally like Yang Dingyi’s spiritual books, Charles Foster’s Tracing Ancestors through the Paleolithic Age through Experiential Thinking, and Richard David Priest’s Introduction to Philosophy. There are several articles in Hofstadter’s book that are also worth reading. But he scorned the leftist psychologist’s “Identity”.
- I read three novels this month, and my favorite is Paulo Coelho. The theme of his novels is people’s search for themselves in this world. They are also answering the question “Who am I?” and exploring the relationship between people and the world, and the relationship between women and men. Paulo Coelho is a bonanza and I love it.
- Cai Zhizhong lectured on the Heart Sutra, which was generally very good. The Heart Sutra can be reduced to one word, “empty”. The mind is empty.
