"Aunt Cheng, do you like to read novels by modern and contemporary American writers?" Wang Bo cleaned up his mind and looked at Cheng Wenjin out of a man's instinct, and in terms of psychological age, the wonderful posture of a woman who was actually no more than two years older than him was withdrawn from the thousands of manners, and looked at each other and asked.

"I can't say I like it very much. It's just that I've been more interested in it lately. Cheng Wenjin nodded and said with a smile.

"The history of the United States is too short for many well-known writers. However, in the more than 200 years of history since the founding of the United States, there have been a large number of master writers and writers who have influenced the world. For example, if you like to read short stories, you can read O. Henry. O. Henry is known as one of the world's three masters of the short story and is known for his critical realism. There is another master of critical realism in the United States, but he reflects social reality more with humor and irony, and that is Mark Twain. His short and long works are "Million Pounds", "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" and "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer". The latter two are children's works, but they go beyond the category of ordinary children's works, especially "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", which can be called the greatest works of children's literature.

"If you like to work with individualism, or personal heroism, Jack London is a must-see. "Martin Eden" and "The Call of the Wild" are his masterpieces. "Martin Eden," in particular, can be seen as Jack London's autobiography. Many of the plots in the book are Jack London's own upbringing, and it is a very shocking book.

"In a series of writers in the United States. The most famous is undoubtedly the Nobel laureate Ernest Hemingway. His "The Old Man and the Sea" is probably a household name in China. Hemingway's works are known for being tough guys and are the spiritual monuments of the American nation. But frankly, I personally respect it, but I don't like it very much. Including "The Old Man and the Sea", it can be summed up in one sentence: it is how an old man worked hard to catch a big shark. No matter how many awards this work has won and what status it has in the world literary circle, I personally always feel that it is too monotonous. Not very much.

"Finally, Aunt Cheng, I would like to introduce a personal favorite American writer, Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby"! To avoid spoilers, I won't say more. Go see for yourself, Aunt Cheng. ”

When Cheng Wenjin asked Wang Bo to introduce her to a famous American book, she was actually joking. I don't really think that the child in front of me can give her a good recommendation. The reason is simple. She herself has a daughter who is a sophomore in high school. My daughter can't finish her homework in a day, so where does she have time to read novels. Even if she looks at it, what she likes is probably some kind of comics, romance novels and the like, so she won't have the mind and energy to look at the traditional literature of the Eight Classics, and it is also British and American literature with very different humanistic backgrounds! Although the boy Cheng Wenjin doesn't understand, he can do this and that. It's all one age group, for sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys. What interests them the most is probably just the martial arts novel written by Jin Yong's ancient dragon Liang Yusheng.

However, to Cheng Wenjin's surprise, the boy in front of him, who was the same size as his daughter, really recommended him, and talked eloquently in front of him, casually commenting on the masterpieces of almost all well-known American modern and contemporary writers. If the other party had not read these novels, or even further, if the other party had not read and studied the works of the above writers and masters in depth, it would be impossible to make the above appropriate literary evaluation, even if it was only a general talk.

And what surprised Cheng Wenjin the most was that the other party solemnly recommended it to her, and it was nothing else, it turned out to be Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby", a book she was dragging at this time! She was sure that the little guy in front of her didn't know that she was holding "The Great Gatsby" in her hand, because when she held the book, she put the cover upside down on her body.

Coincidence! Incredible coincidence!

"Wang Bo, have you read all the novels you recommended to me just now, including "The Great Gatsby" that you ceremoniously recommended?" asked Cheng Wenjin holding back the surprise in his heart.

As soon as Cheng Wenjin asked, Wang Bo's heart immediately "screamed", and he understood that he was afraid that he was a little carried away just now, pretending/forcing himself too much, and forgetting his identity - a high school student in a key middle school, who is not good at studying, but reads idle books and miscellaneous books all day long, in the eyes of serious people, no matter how you look at it, I am afraid that it is not very authentic, and it is not a good student. Wang Bo has a good impression of Liang Ya's mother, and he doesn't want the other party to misunderstand him, and he also wants to please the other party and leave a good impression on the future mother-in-law, but in a hurry, he forgot his identity and said a lot of revealing words.

But now that I've said it, I can't take it back. If you want to change the misunderstanding that your "mother-in-law" may have about her "not doing her job", it is very simple, just tell the other party your high school entrance examination results. But if people don't take the initiative to ask about this kind of thing, it's not good for him to take the initiative to show it off. And because he and Liang Ya are still in the state of "underground party", it is impossible for Liang Ya to take the initiative to mention her name in front of her parents and her current state of being a "lonely and defeating" student in No. 4 Middle School, and she always has to let Liang Ya's mother take the initiative to ask her daughter about her grades.

So, how can we make the other party interested in taking the initiative to ask Liang Ya about his "great achievements"? Wang Bo was anxious to think about it, used his brain, and quickly thought of a somewhat tortuous way to save the country.

"Well, I've seen them all. Wang Bo nodded, "Literature is one of my great hobbies. In my spare time, I have read a lot of world classics from ancient and modern times. ”

"Oh, I see! No wonder you know all about the works of American writers. Wang Bo's answer can be regarded as an answer to the question in Cheng Wenjin's heart. However, as Wang Bo expected. A question disappeared, another question arose, and Cheng Wenjin quickly asked again. "Wang Bo, it should take a lot of time to read these novels, right? I heard Xiaoya say that I am usually very nervous about studying, and reading so many novels will not delay your study?"

As soon as Cheng Wenjin asked, Wang Bo touched the back of his head with his hand, revealing a "shy" look, but what he said was not shy at all. Wang Bo said: "Uh. Fortunately, I have a good balance between my studies and personal interests. ”

"That's good. High school students still have to focus on their studies. However, in addition to studying, if you can take into account your own interests and hobbies. That's pretty good, too. Cheng Wenjin said with a smile. She was actually a little curious about the grades of this little guy who said that he was able to balance his studies and hobbies very well - yes, not good, but very good - and whether Liang Ya's grades were good. But thought about it. Still didn't ask. It's okay if the other party's grades are good, but if it's just a bad student who loves to read novels, it's a little embarrassing. As for whether the other party was bragging or boasting based on face just now, he went home at noon and asked his daughter. My daughter doesn't necessarily know if the other party is a bad student, but if the other party's grades are really good and she is one of the best in the class, her daughter should still know. "By the way, what are you doing in the library today?

"It's all science bookshelf. There are no novels!" Wang Bo spread his hands and gestured with his eyes to the bookshelves around him. smiled and said, "I'm here to check some information, Aunt Cheng." ”

"What information?"

"Popular science works on cosmology, astronomy, cutting-edge physics, and geogeography. Wang Bo said.

Cheng Wenjin was stunned for a moment, and then he was shocked, he didn't expect Wang Bo to look for these materials, he thought that the other party was just looking for some learning materials, and subconsciously became curious. "What are you looking for this information for?"

"Aunt Cheng, there is a saying that 'if you are familiar with 300 Tang poems, you will not be able to compose poems and chant'. I've read a lot of novels, but I haven't tried to write a novel yet. I want to try it now. However, traditional novels are too difficult to write, and the requirements for writing, personal experience, and experience are also high. I'm going to write a science fiction novel or two that doesn't require much writing and experience. Wang Bo said with a smile.

Writing a novel? Just the sixteen or seventeen-year-old little guy in front of him? Cheng Wenjin found that his head was getting more and more insufficient.

Even if you don't count the novels you read when you were a student, just the novels you read while working in the library, for Cheng Wenjin, there are not a hundred, but eighty. She can call herself a "literary youth" without humbling without humble. But even so, the idea of writing a novel never rose in her mind. She felt that no matter how many novels she read in her life, she would not be able to become a novelist. In her view, reading novels and writing novels are completely two concepts and two fields. Novels can be read by everyone, as long as they can read and write, but to write novels that can be published in pencil words, only a handful of special people who have been endowed with special gifts by God can do it. For example, her husband Liang Jingquan used to be a talented person in the Chinese Department of C University, and he was famous in C size. Her husband's ambition was to become a novelist who would go down in history. It's a pity that so many years have passed, and my daughter is almost seventeen years old, except for some inconspicuous tofu block articles published in the school magazine of C University in the past, and now in the supplement of "Sifang Daily", not many people care about it, and I have never written a novel. He has written a lot of short stories and submitted countless magazines, and as for the results......

Don't say it!

And the big boy in front of him, who is as big as his daughter, threatens to write a novel, although it is just the kind of science fiction that he rarely reads, but in Cheng Wenjin's opinion, he is really a little too confident and ambitious.
