A Reading Diary: A Passionate Reader's Reflections on a Year of Books Hardcover – October 7, 2004
by Alberto Manguel
- Hardcover: 224 pages
- Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux; First Edition edition (October 27, 2004)
While traveling in Calgary, Alberto Manguel was struck by how the novel he was reading (Goethe'sElective Affinities) seemed to reflect the social chaos of the world he was living in. An article in the daily paper would be suddenly illuminated by a passage in the novel; a long reflection would be prompted by a single word. He decided to keep a record of these moments, rereading a book a month, and forming A Reading Diary: a volume of notes, reflections, impressions of travel, of friends, of events public and private, all ellicited by his reading.
From Don Quixote (August) to The Island of Dr. Moreau (February) to Kim (April), Manguel leads us on an enthralling adventure in literature and life, and demonstrates how, for the passionate reader, one is utterly inextricable from the other.

A Reading Diary
hc評:本書篇幅不到10萬字,譯者為了"服務",加了近700條長注。
有幾處問題:
第94 頁 將hell 翻譯成"煉獄"。
第95 頁 將Gothic 翻譯成"哥德派"小說。
"gothic" came to describe a certain type of novels, so named because all these novels seem to take place in Gothic-styled architecture -- mainly castles, mansions, and, of course, abbeys ("Gothic...").
