Judging from the trend in the past few weeks, The Da Vinci Code (No.1 on Amazon's list in 2003) may be due to the high household rate in autumn and winter, and people's attention to health care, skin care and daily life has also increased accordingly. Happy life (one-stop communication) has been in the general list for three weeks in a row, and others, such as "A Light Without Poison" and "The Face-changing Book of a Beautiful Leader". The new favorite of readers this week is You: A Manual for Body Use (Yilin Publishing House). The original English name of this book is You: Owner's Manual. Although it also means "user/owner manual", the current title is obviously a deliberate imitation of the popular Manual for Human Body Use (Wu Qingzhong, Huacheng Publishing House), which is suspected of "hitchhiking". In fact, although the two "manuals" have the same theme, they are completely different. Take You: A Manual for Body Use as an example. Both authors are well-known professionals who explain from the perspective of western medicine. The more important selling point is the concept of BQ, that is, "body quotient" (body quotient refers to the comparative relationship between physiological age and seniority). The book tests 200 BQ questions, cracks 29 misunderstandings, lists 1 1 sets of health plans, and provides 43 suggestions for healthy eating. With simple words, pictures and relaxed language, it is easy to understand and use healthy ways that are often overlooked in life and work. It is completely different from the manual of human body in terms of harmony between yin and yang and five elements of meridians. It's hard to say which manual is more scientific and practical. This is a dispute between Chinese and western medicine, but it is always beneficial for urbanites who are wandering on the edge of "sub-health" to know more about healthy life and practice more. Here's a digression. From IQ, EQ to BQ, even spiritual IQ SQ, German MQ, etc. Is the Q series too rampant?

What is more "unusual" in the general list is When the World was Young, which belongs to children's books. The author of this collection of stories is Jurg Schubiger, Germany, and 49 seemingly nonsense fantasies, together with interesting illustrations by the famous German illustrator Susanna Bernard, make it a "literary treasure combining pictures and texts". 1996 won the best youth literature prize in Switzerland and Germany at the same time, and the illustration also won the art prize. This book was introduced by Huaxia Publishing House in 2000 and translated by Lin Minya. The sales volume is unknown, and the goods have been sold out on the Internet for a long time, but readers have been full of praise, obsessed with it, and even spared no effort to type on the keyboard and move to the Internet to share with colleagues. This is a reprint of Sichuan Children's Publishing House, and the translator has changed Liao Haiyun. The price of books is similar, which is also the luck of readers.

In fact, the list is not without similar temperament, such as "The Cabin on Mango Street". Sometimes you feel that this kind of books are more like books for adults, for those who have not completely lost their memory. Maybe when you read it, you will wonder if you are praised, and think that these "children's words are unscrupulous" are of course good, but that's the truth. But maybe, it should be said, at some point, you will suddenly think of those stories and words, and even feel that your heart has been hit. ...

Time always goes by unconsciously. The book Tang Liqi Constellation Analysis in 2007, which ranks first in non-literature category, seems to remind busy people that the end of the year is here again. Don't forget the year-end summary and New Year's resolution!

First introduce a book on the list of life and health. Health is becoming more and more important to modern people.

Genesis chapter 1 1 describes a story in which human beings who once spoke the same language tried to build a towering tower, but their accents were confused by God's condemnation, and finally they could not communicate and had to disperse-this chaotic tower was called "Babel Tower". The book "The Dog of Babel" misappropriates this allusion and re-examines the spread story of interpersonal understanding and misunderstanding. The story begins with a linguistics professor's wife falling from a tree. The scene seems unexpected, but some subtle clues make the professor think that his wife may have consciously ended her life, but the professor can't remember any possible reasons. At the time of the incident, only the Rhodesian ridged dog raised by his wife witnessed the whole process; If we can get this bitch to talk, maybe we can understand: What happened to her wife in the last few minutes of her life? The setting of making dogs talk makes this story a bit whimsical and magical, and there is always a theme about communication and understanding hidden in the story: how do people who love each other communicate? After reading this book, people can't help but sigh: it is more difficult to understand the person you love than to let your dog talk.

This week's list is full of mystery and horror of human destiny. Future is a new work by michael crichton, the best-selling thriller writer of Jurassic Park. Harper Collins described the book as "fast, furious and out of control". In the era of books, blondes became extinct, and there were only 400 genes different between humans and orangutans. People will sell eggs and sperm online and check their spouses' genes. This book combines reality and fantasy. The Tenth Circle, on the other hand, sets the story in a seemingly ordinary family in the western United States. Everyone's mind is troubled by hidden demons and goes through a Dante-style journey of purgatory. However, the title of Lu Dabaier's Mystery seems mysterious, but it is actually a book that teaches people how to solve the mysteries of life. The answers involve financial management, health, interpersonal relationships, happiness and so on.
