当年上下班commute看的. It was love at first sight. 从此对书跟作者惊为天人。Even today, it still tops the list of my favorite books, so is the author.
Heller 跟海明威差不多,很不文艺,用词平实一点儿不拽(当然 catch phrases 多了些)。俩人风格都很mascular. Fitzgerald 跟 Henry James 是优美型选手,句子写得又长又拽,很欧洲很文艺。
Lucky Jim by Amis is a very humerous novel on academic life in last centry's Britain, highly recommended to you young academic professors.
