2018年需要读的好书

2018年需要读的好书

I had the best of intentions last year. I was going to make it the fourth year in a row of reading more than I did the prior year. More than that, I was going to write detailed reviews of everything I read.

去年我尽力了。 我打算连续第四年读到比上一年更多的书。 不仅如此,我还要对阅读所有内容进行详细的评论。

Neither of those things really panned out.

这些事情都没有真正解决。

I started the year strong, but the reading slowed down as did the review writing. I could make up some excuses, but the reality is I just didn’t give myself as much time to read as I had been the past few years. I spent too much time checking email and sipping news through a firehose. I’ll fix that for 2019, starting with curbing my email and Twitter issues (I’ve made good progress on that already and will likely write about that soon).

我刚开始的那一年很强,但是阅读速度和评论写作一样慢了。 我可以弥补一些借口,但现实是我没有像过去几年那样给自己足够的阅读时间。 我花了太多时间检查电子邮件和通过消防喉喝新闻。 我将在2019年修复该问题,首先要解决我的电子邮件和Twitter问题(我已经在此方面取得了不错的进展,并且可能会很快写出来)。

Still, what I did read was really high-quality stuff. There were a lot of great books I enjoyed this past year and very few duds that I had to put down. For fiction, I’d say my three favorites were Lonesome Dove, Beartown and A Man Called Ove (though The Body Library was really close). For non-fiction, I’d have to go with Why We Sleep, Factfulness and A River of Darkness. All six are highly recommended.

不过,我读的书确实是高质量的东西。 去年我有很多很棒的书,而我不得不放下的书呆子很少。 对于小说,我想说我的三个最爱是寂寞鸽子 ( Lonesome Dove)贝尔敦(Beartown)一个男人叫奥夫 ( O Man Called Ove) (尽管人体图书馆真的很近)。 对于非小说类作品,我不得不谈谈 为什么我们入睡事实黑暗之河 。 强烈建议所有六个。

  1. Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker 55

    为什么我们的睡眠由马修·沃克10/10

    I’ve written a full review for this one.

    我为此写了一篇完整的评论

    I do blame this book for some of my reduction in reading. I do most of my reading at night and this book really hammered home how important it is to get a full night’s rest. So on some evenings, where I would usually let myself get sucked into a book until the late hours of the night, I would force myself to put it down and get some sleep.

    我确实把这本书的阅读减少归咎于这本书。 我晚上大部分时间都在读书,而这本书真的使我感到震惊,获得一整夜的休息是多么重要。 因此,在某些晚上,我通常会让自己沉迷于一本书,直到深夜,我强迫自己放下书并入睡。

    百万美元咨询建议由Alan魏斯五分之四

  13. Million-Dollar Consulting by Alan Weiss 45

    百万美元咨询由Alan魏斯五分之四

    I don’t necessarily agree with everything in these books and I really balked at the whole “million-dollar” part of the title, but both of these books had a TON of useful information.

    我不一定同意这些书中的所有内容,我真的对书名的整个“一百万美元”部分不满意,但是这两本书都有大量有用的信息。

  14. The Irresistible Consultant’s Guide to Winning Clients by David A. Fields 45

    不可抗拒的顾问指南赢得客户由David A.场五分之四

    这是我今年阅读的最佳商业书籍的精选。 实用,有很多很棒的建议。

  15. Beneath the Sugar Sky by Seanan McGuire 45

    下方的糖天空由锡南·马克圭尔五分之四

    客户端如何购买汤姆McMakin和Doug弗莱彻五分之三

    Maybe I would’ve liked this book more had I not read similar books the same year. In comparison, it felt a bit…light.

    如果我没有在同一年读过类似的书,也许我会更喜欢这本书。 相比之下,感觉有点……轻。

  23. Factfulness by Hans Rosling, Anna Rosling Ronnlund and Ola Rosling 55

    Factfulness由汉斯·罗斯林,安娜·罗斯林Ronnlund和奥拉·罗斯林10/10

    I’ve seen this one at the top of several other people’s lists and it absolutely should be. Beautifully optimistic, but never falsely so: everything is backed up by solid data. It gives you a new perspective on current affairs while training you to have a keener eye when you see someone using data to paint a story. I also really admired how respectful the book is towards people who still have different views on some of the topics presented.

    我已经在其他几个人的名单中看到了这个,这绝对是应该的。 乐观乐观,但从来没有错误地如此:一切都由可靠的数据支持。 当您看到某人使用数据描绘故事时,它为您提供了对时事的新视角,同时训练您更加敏锐的眼光。 我也真的很佩服这本书对那些对某些主题仍然有不同看法的人们的尊重。

  24. Beartown by Fredrik Bakman 55

    Beartown由Fredrik Bakman5 分之5

    This book deals with sexual assault: the way our culture is complicit, and the toxic ways we treat victims of assault afterwards. It’s going to be hard reading for many. I posted a one-word review on Twitter shortly after reading this one: Wow. It’s profound and deep and gut-wrenching. Between this and A Man Called Ove, I will now read anything Backman writes. Anything.

    这本书涉及性侵犯:我们文化的共谋方式,以及后来我们对待袭击受害者的有毒方式。 对于许多人来说,这将是很难阅读的。 读完这篇文章后不久,我在Twitter上发表了一个单词的评论: 。 这是深刻而深刻的,令人费解的。 在这和一个叫做Ove的男人之间,我现在将阅读Backman撰写的所有内容。 什么都可以

  25. The Body Library by Jeff Noon 55

    身体图书馆由杰夫中午10/10

    These Nyquist books by Noon are so weird and creepy and I am absolutely there for it. A Man of Shadows dealt with a world where time was a tangible commodity and The Body Library revolves around the premise that stories are living things can consume people in very real ways. Both are an absolute pleasure to read.

    这些中午出版的奈奎斯特书是如此古怪而令人毛骨悚然,我绝对会为此而努力。 影子人处理的世界中,时间是有形的商品, 人体图书馆围绕着这样的前提,即故事是有生命的东西,可以以非常真实的方式吞噬人们。 两者都是阅读的绝对乐趣。

  26. Image Performance by Mat Marquis 55

    图像性能通过垫侯爵5分之5

    Here’s the blurb I wrote for A Book Apart. I think it does a good job of explaining how I felt about Mat’s excellent book:

    这是我为《分开的书》写的摘要。 我认为这很好地解释了我对Mat的出色著作的看法:

    Image Performance is an entertaining, practical introduction to the finer details of image compression and performance online. The topic isn’t simple, but after reading this book, you could be forgiven for thinking it is—Mat’s just that good at explaining it.
    Image Performance是对在线图像压缩和性能的更详细细节的有趣且实用的介绍。 主题并不简单,但是读完这本书后,您可能会以为它是原谅的——Mat善于解释它。
  27. Progressive Web Apps by Jason Grigsby 55

    渐进式Web应用程序由Jason格雷斯比10/10

    Look. Jason can never know I gave this a positive review. It’ll go straight to his head.

    看。 杰森(Jason)永远不知道我给予了正面评价。 它会直奔他的头。

    But this book really is fantastic. I love that it goes beyond the usual “how to build a progressive web app” discussion to explore the business case for progressive web apps and some of the overlooked considerations about when and where to use each associated technology.

    但是这本书确实很棒。 我喜欢超越常规的“如何构建渐进式Web应用程序”讨论,以探索渐进式Web应用程序的业务案例,以及有关何时何地使用每种关联技术的一些被忽略的考虑因素。

  28. Future Ethics by Cennydd Bowles 55

    未来伦理通过Cennydd鲍尔斯5分之5

    Gosh, this book was so great. Cennydd explores the ethical considerations of technology in a way that felt fresh even with all the books I’ve been reading on the topic. His was the first book I’ve read to present ethical frameworks (old news for those of you versed in ethics, newer to me) for considering the ramifications of technology. By doing so, you become so much more aware of just how messy it all is.

    天哪,这本书太好了。 即使我阅读了有关该主题的所有书籍,Cennydd仍然以一种新鲜的方式探索技术的道德考虑。 他是我读过的第一本介绍伦理框架的书(对于那些精通伦理学的人来说,是旧消息,对我来说是较新的),这是考虑技术影响的书。 这样,您就可以更加清楚地知道这一切都是多么的混乱。

    What I like about this approach is that you learn to consider how people may be arriving at different conclusions than you. It’s not necessarily that they’re bad people or wrong, but that they are using a different ethical framework. It makes it much easier to have meaningful discussions about complicated topics when you can understand where others are coming from. It’s an important and underutilized skill nowadays, but this book helps you develop it a bit more.

    我喜欢这种方法的原因是,您学会了思考人们如何得出与您不同的结论。 他们不一定是坏人或错,但他们使用的是不同的道德框架。 当您可以了解其他人的来源时,就可以轻松地对复杂的主题进行有意义的讨论。 如今,这是一项重要且未得到充分利用的技能,但本书可帮助您进一步发展。

    As a bonus, I now feel smarter when Chidi goes into his ethics lessons on The Good Place.

    另外,当Chidi在“好地方”上参加道德操守课程时,我现在变得更加聪明。

  29. Word by Word: The Secret Life of Dictionaries by Kory Stamper 45

    一字一句:字典的秘密生活由科里·斯坦珀五分之四

    Kory’s enthusiasm is infectious and makes this a far more interesting book than you would think a book about dictionaries would be.

    高丽的热情具有感染力,这使这本书比您想象的有关字典的书更有趣。

  30. Les Miserables by Victor Hugo 45

    悲惨雨果五分之四

    I’ve been meaning to read this for years, and finally got around to it. It’s not the breeziest books to get through. The core story moves along at good pace and keeps you roped in, but Hugo’s sidebars (if you can call 100 pages or so a sidebar) on topics like Waterloo and convents slow that momentum down. Most of the time, those sidebars pay off though. It was great to have a better perspective of Waterloo, for instance, as it is a major focal point of the revolution that drives the actions of characters later.

    多年来,我一直想读这篇文章,最后才了解它。 这不是最轻松的书。 核心故事进展顺利,并让您紧紧抓住,但是Hugo的侧边栏(如果您可以拨打100页左右的侧边栏)涉及滑铁卢和女修道院等主题,从而减缓了这种势头。 大多数情况下,那些补充工具会有所回报。 例如,对滑铁卢有一个更好的认识真是太好了,因为它是推动角色发展的革命的主要焦点。

    So, not an easy read, but a very powerful one. I was familiar with the story from the musical, but there’s so much more depth here. Fontaine’s story is heart-breaking, as is Eponine’s. And Javert’s. And Valjean’s. Ok fine just about everyone’s story is a real downer. But that was sort of the point: to look at the everyday people impacted by the revolution that history would overlook and cast a critical eye on a society that allows these things to happen.

    因此,这不是一本通俗易懂的书,而是一本非常有力的书。 我对音乐剧中的故事很熟悉,但是这里的深度要深得多。 枫丹恩的故事和埃波宁的故事一样令人心碎。 和贾维特的。 还有Valjean的。 好的,几乎每个人的故事都是令人沮丧的。 但这只是要点:观察受革命影响的每天人们,历史将忽略这些历史,并对允许这些事情发生的社会投以批判的眼光。

  31. Unsubscribe by Jocelyn K. Glei 45

    退订由乔斯林K. Glei 五分之四

  32. The Warp Clock by Nathan Van Coops 55

    经时钟由Nathan凡鸡舍10/10

    Van Coop’s In Times Like These series are essentially popcorn movies in book form. That’s a compliment, not a criticism. They’re fast-paced, and loads of fun. This latest entry is one of my favorites so far.

    范·库普(Van Coop)的《像这样时代》系列实质上是书籍形式的爆米花电影。 这是一种赞美,而不是批评。 他们节奏快,乐趣无穷。 到目前为止,这是我的最爱之一。
