讀書彷彿找人打架 Reading and Fight

早前看了本散文集,作者指看書就如找作者打架,我以前也頗有同感,但現在看到別人短處的同時,更能欣嘗別人的努力和長處,不再自以為是去"撩是鬥非"了

 

「Harold Bloom對我影響太大,害我成天焦慮,讀書彷彿找人打架。 看到弱的,哼哼笑笑。看到強的,蠢蠢欲動。 對薇依那種刀槍不入的,有暴打一頓的臆想。而面對徐渭、李贅, 彷彿虐待狂撞上虐待狂,先是被狂抽幾百鞭,爽極, 然後奮起倒抽幾百鞭,更爽。」

 

A writer shares her reading experience as having fight with the author, she laughs at the weak author and want to have a fight with the strong one. To those who is as 'weak but holy' as Simone Weil, she writes taht she 'wants to crucify her'; and to those who gets the violent 'crazy talent', she demands an harsh fight she can even enjoy beating by them.

 

I got the similar experience before, but now i'm getting older and have learned to appreciate others' effort.
