纽约地铁书单：纽约客都在读什么？[1]

纽约地铁中从不乏手捧书本的人，而从这些纽约客读的书中可以窥见整个城市文化生活的缩影。让我们一起来看一看纽约客都在读什么吧。

1. 《无比美妙的痛苦》 The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

Christopher Li: It’s a book that was recently made into a movie, and it’s about a couple of cancer patients who fall in love. I’m reading toward the end of the book now and a lot of sad things are happening. I like it a lot. During college I read more challenging literature and philosophy, but now I tend to read books that are a little more straightforward and easy to follow emotionally. I think [The Fault in Our Stars is] pretty well written and has a good amount of depth to it without being too challenging for me.

Just Kids by Patti Smith

Djenne Grant: My best friend said she loved the book and I’m now reading it for school. I just started and have to finish it in two weeks. I really like it so far. No one bothers you [when you’re reading on the subway], you can go inside a different world. [On the subway, I’ve noticed] we’re moving away from vampire stories and now we’re reading more novels based in real life.

Flash Boys by Michael Lewis

Everdeen Mason: The book is about the stock market – I think the author has done a couple books about that – and it’s particularly about a young guy who works for a Canadian trading firm, and he discovers the world of high frequency trading and how that allows traders to prey on innocents. Right now he’s trying to rally and get people to start their own stock market to stop this from happening. I like how it’s written. Lewis takes something that could be a dry subject and makes it really punchy, and he describes the characters in really fun ways.
