我决定一周看完一本好书，坚持看下去，顺便放短评到简书来，让更多的人有空就读点好书。
连夜看完了J.K. Rowling的《布谷鸟的呼唤》。感觉她想写得不是个破案的故事，而是个关于孤独的旁白， 有点《巴别塔之犬》的味道。另外此书没有发现好的译本，英伦风比较难翻译。
以下是此书让我脑海中浮现的画面之一(Ipad手绘，简书目前无法从Ipad直接导入）：

此书最触动我的句子：
“It was strange, but nevertheless true, that the countless photographs of her otherworldly beauty had made it harder rather than easier for Strike to believe that Landry had ever really existed. The ubiquity of her features had made them seem abstract, generic, even if the face itself had been uniquely beautiful.
Now, however, out of these dry black marks on paper, out of erratically spelled messages littered with in-jokes and nicknames, the wraith of the dead girl rose before him in the dark office. Her emails gave him what the multitude of photographs had not: a realisation in the gut, rather than the brain, that a real, living, laughing and crying human being had been smashed to death on that snowy London street. He had hoped to spot the flickering shadow of a murderer as he turned the file’s pages, but instead it was the ghost of Lula herself who emerged, gazing up at him, as victims of violent crimes sometimes did, through the detritus of their interrupted lives.”
Robert Galbraith; J.K. Rowling. “The Cuckoo's Calling.”
