Being a Beast, by Charles Foster
In a bid to better understand what it’s like to be an animal, unconventional nature writer, Charles Foster, decided to live like one.
为了更好地理解作为一个动物的感觉,一位打破传统的自然作家Charles Foster决定:模仿动物生活。
But there’s more to this book than just wondering what animal he’s going to try and become next. Foster is a creative narrator with genuine literary skill and a masterful eye for pacing.
但本书除了探询他所模仿的动物习性外,更多地展示出Foster那富有创造力的解说,写作天赋,以及徒步经历的高超眼力。
This year’s H is for Hawk.本年度的书成为H,代表鹰。

The Little Book of Mindful Travel, by Tiddy Rowan
Travelling is a wonderful opportunity to experience new places and meet new people, but admit it – it’s often punctuated with moments of extreme stress that can leave you questioning why on earth you bother.
旅行是一个绝妙的机会可以经历新地点,认识新的人,但是不得不承认--它总是伴随有极度紧张的情况,让你产生质疑,为何总是被搅扰。
Enter Tiddy Rowan’s Little Book of Mindful Travel. Like sourdough bread and colouring books, mindfulness seems to be everywhere you look right now but in applying the principles of the approach specifically to how we travel, Rowan has created an invaluable tool for making sure you get the most from your journeys.
阅读本书,它像酵母面包和着色剂,注意留心似乎是你此刻无处不在的提醒。本书的作者打破传统,不会告诉你该如何旅游,而是为你提供一个实用工具,帮助你最大限度的享受你的旅程。
The Buried Giant, by Kazuo Ishiguro
Though I didn’t care much for his previous book, An Artist of the Floating World, which should have had the subtitle “Make Me into a Film Starring Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson ASAP", Ishiguro has proven himself one of the most accomplished British novelists of our time.
尽管我并没有太关注他的上一部作品“An Artist of the Floating World”,已经被搬上了银幕,由安东尼霍普金斯和艾玛汤姆森主演。作者依旧证明了他是当今英国最有成就的小说家之一。

The High Mountains of Portugal, by Yann Martel
Yann Martel's eagerly anticipated new book scooped the Man Booker Prize only last week.
本书作者备受期待的新书刚在上周获得了布克文学奖。
If the very prospect of an opportunity to renew your acquaintance with this sublimely gifted and playfully inventive novelist doesn’t fill you to the brim with unrelenting joy then I can only guess that you’ve never read one of his books before.
如果面对这个重新认识这位卓越的,超凡的,才华横溢的小说家的机会,仍没有让你的快乐爆棚,那我只能说你一定没读过他的小说。
