刘瑜散文里的笔触好细腻 生动 可爱 政治学博士随手写出很多联想丰富的比喻给人会心一击的幽默感。

谢谢Claire同学的推荐，沉迷于这本书数日不能自拔，读的很慢怕读着读着就读完了。
好几篇很喜欢，就早读一次晚再来一遍。
这么有趣的灵魂的人写出来的娇嗔让你读起来都有快感。说到底，难得一见的还是性感的头脑。
相见恨晚。

一本生活随笔的合集，时不时透出来点小聪明和大智慧。读得时候常常感觉到，作者在写下这些文字的时候，一定在感叹：I’m SO smart. 十分生动，十分可爱。

可以说是很合现在大多仍然在读书的年轻一代的胃口的一本书。大家纷纷给出五颗星，也是不意外的，但我自己给三星都觉得高了点。很多人评价“诚实而有趣”，我是同意的。很诚实，常出现非常口语化的中英夹杂，我想是作者自己最直接的反应和想法；写自己的观点看起来也很诚实，保留了许多的消极和碎碎念。有趣的时候也真的是有趣的，她写的政见我大多不懂，感悟我觉得是不会给人太多启发，只有有趣比较出众。但我非常不喜欢的是字里行间她都对世界常有一种轻蔑感，扭曲地鼓励回应了许许多多根她背景相同的读者们自命不凡的想法。在说一些比较浅的话题的时候都有保留，对一些毫无涉猎的领域却可以说的斩钉截铁，从头到尾都有一种“什么都看透什么都懂”的语气。如果可以拿掉这种轻蔑和看透，该多好啊。

I somehow thought of it as a kind of “reference book.” It’s like a 10/10 reference book. So many of her experiences and reflections hit straight to my heart. If I ever go through similar things, I’ll quote her or borrow her metaphors to express my own feelings.

She’s smart and knowledgeable, but there’s also so much openness and sincerity in her writing. I trust her sensitivity and sharp critics into politics and philosophy. It’s rare, but so precious and comforting to see these reflections come from a female writer. These essays come from her blog posts between 2006 and 2009, and reading them feels like checking someone’s page over and over when you have a quiet crush, always hoping they’ve posted something new. Though it’s 2025 now, that time doesn’t feel so distant, you either learn a bit of history or could recall some own memories. It’s half admiration, half emotional attachment to her thoughts.

I also love how some academia person can reflect on and capture everyday life and pop culture.

What’s more, or on a personal note, I had recently been feeling uncomfortable writing anything serious in Chinese anymore, mostly because I hadn’t read serious Chinese writing for a while. But after reading this book, I found that willingness again, and Chinese words started coming to me directly and naturally. =)

But I honestly don’t understand why this book, and Liu herself agreed to publish multiple versions (it seems more than five), some of which are edited to remove politically sensitive content.

The writing style is like a reduced version of Wang Xiaobo, more humorous than ironic. But she didn't intend to be ironic, she just wrote whatever she thought of, and incorporated what she had read, walked through, and seen.
Rather than being like a certain writer, I suddenly felt more like the song "Me and Shangguan Yan" from the 2005 album "Double" by Xiaoyanzi, who no longer exists. Capture a little bit of emotion from life and record it in words.
Compared with her social science works "The Art of Possibility" and "The Details of Democracy" that I have read, this collection of blog posts that records her life in the years before 2010 is much milder, and only in the last part does it reveal some liberal political tendencies.
Interestingly, her position in the political spectrum has not changed much, but her published works are becoming increasingly difficult to meet readers. Especially the latest one, let alone publication, Douban even removed the corresponding entry, as if it had never existed.
The impact of macro-climate changes on personal careers can be seen.

她的文笔轻松诙谐，让人觉得是一位有文化的大姐坐在你面前侃大山，倍感亲切的给你讲她的人生经历和感悟。

听刘瑜的这本书仿佛看到了张爱玲的影子。虽然这是一本杂文集子，但是言语之间透露的睿智和幽默令我不得不联想到张爱玲。这本书写了很多作者在外游学时的经历，接地气的同时也有浓郁的文化气息，感觉跟这样学政治哲学的文青受熏陶很长知识。

刘瑜的散文中处处透露着她的小诙谐幽默以及五花八门的想法。小到一只老鼠大到人生观和政治，刘瑜把这几年她经历的，思考过的点点滴滴记录了下来。
每个故事读起来让人兴味盎然，而又不失值得推究/思想的地方。

I really appreciated the author's deep thoughts and how she described her daily life.

20190303 HK 8SL. 从未读过随笔。除政治章，其他共鸣爆表。与个人各方面相同，但可用更好的方式总结，写，表达。欣赏。清晰，有逻辑，轻松，带风趣。大家都不特殊，每个年代都有着许多有思想，好奇心，有求知欲，试图探索自己，社会，和时间的人。真好

一本轻松阅读的杂文集。有时候文章里生动的讽刺和犀利的吐槽，都会让我会心一笑。非常开心的一次阅读体验。

真的非常喜欢，虽然几度看的很难受，刘瑜说这本子弹可以算是寄给“尚未丧失自知性”的人的一封秘密贺信，所以很多意义上来说，大家都是病友互相抚慰。

[Alex Xu · Rating 5 out of 5]

挺有趣的，就是平常的故事，比起梁文道那个强多了。随笔还是这样的好看。//被这书感动成逼了//读完，就剩喜欢了

很好看！有很多能够共鸣的地方。虽然是有些散乱的小短文，不妨碍我能津津有味地读完。

以为是政治类书籍，但主要写的是刘瑜在纽约和剑桥的生活，有点后悔没早点读，书里写的东西20年30年后还是这么能引起我的共鸣可见世界真的没多大进步

I like the way how she wrote these short stories.

[SA Hoang · Rating 5 out of 5]

对我来说这本书代表着青春的一部分。我喜欢它不仅是因为内容，而是它是2016年寒假在大连15库一家咖啡厅做兼职时候一直陪伴着我的一个朋友。记得那年为了尝试外国语过年的体验，我放弃了回国的打算，一个寒假在朋友介绍的一家咖啡厅做服务员。这本书是咖啡厅暑假上放着的，有个晚上看见后厨的小厨师看着他说很有意思，我就问店长能不能让我借回家几天看一看，店长就同意了。
书中谈到作者在美国留学和他对人生各方面的种种感受，语言有些幽默，对一个正在国外留学的我是特别容易产生同情好00。当时我还想着打算把它翻译成母语，找办法在国内出版，如今都没有做成，是因为懒惰吧，也是因为觉得书的内容有些跟不上时代了，就慢慢的放弃了，不过在想念着大连的时候，我偶尔还反复读着。

不错 刘瑜的文笔把我想要说出来却不知道怎么样用话语表达出来的观点写了出来。
