呃,我是看你1楼写的 "不想太沉重,不想太专业,但同样也不想太狗血,不想太快餐
," 不过看你提的3个作者,我的‘沉重’尺度和你看来差距不小。
我常去一个网站叫http://ask.metafilter.com/ ,里面的成员互问互答各种问题,对推荐书格外热心,例如这里推荐薄一些的小说的: http://ask.metafilter.com/61987/Onesitting-reads 。 这里有一个汇总: http://mssv.net/wiki/index.php/ReadMe
"过多的自怨自艾或者孤芳自赏" 的鉴别有一个shortcut - 小说不能设在NYC,主人公
不能是在出版界工作的小卒。。。
对我来说英国版的The Office 最大的功德是提醒大家职场的喜剧potential,由此带来
了美国版的The Office, 30Rock Park & Recreation。Ricky Gervais 的Extra 也蛮
好玩的。

看这篇报道揭示了烙印的心理:
“In India everyone speaks about, whenever you talk about America, they only
speak about Orlando, Florida, and Niagara.”

稍微一搜发现很多老美也热衷于仔细比较这俩啊:

貌似那意思是除了底盘那个钢骨架其他还是很不一样,总体Lexus安静豪华程度不是
Camry能比的,我看靠谱。

我嚼着只能先换轮子,车是outlander,隔音确实不很好,但是以前在东部柏油路开从
来没有这种感觉。

Furniture deliverer
It depends. Most of the time $5-$20. Some recommend simply offering cold
drinks.
http://ask.metafilter.com/21242/Should-I-tip-the-delivery-guy
打电话问问costco的相关政策,也许他们的送货员不可以收小费的。
装cable的好像就不可以接受小费。

AHS is useless. They will not REPLACE your old AC with a new one. They will
only patch it up and also find all kind of excuses to not even patch up.

http://ask.metafilter.com/68258/Why-cant-a-swimmer-run
I've been a swimmer nearly all my life. I remember when I was younger I had
a coach who decided that cross-training would be a good idea. He took us out
the the track and was horrified when even the best swimmers could barely
run a mile.
I know triathletes can both swim and run, but I think they must have to
work very hard on both. Shifting to running was incredibly difficult for me.
It took me several months to get to a 10 minute mile even ... 阅读全帖

那就用医生用的将就一下。或者用这个一个一个碗烘过来:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0018A330K/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/。反正鱼与熊掌是不能兼得。
声明:以上无论是碗柜还是UV wand我都没用过,只是Google的结果。要买的人自己due

来自主题: LeisureTime版 - 读书坑
这里有过一个人问过什么作者类似McCarthy http://ask.metafilter.com/136116/Are-there-any-authors-like-Cormac-McCarthy ,不过里面许多作者我都不熟,听说过的也是我自己不喜欢看的,所以没法判断推荐是否好。(Raymond Carver,Patricia Highsmith 应该可以考虑。)
实在对胃口的作者的确碰到了是至大的福气。象我这样口味此一时彼一时的,真找到这
样的作者最好一下子多读一点,留久了反而要担心走了味。

The 'orange monster' isn't a real monster -- it's just a metaphor. In a way,
it's a brilliant way for the artist to express what's needed without using
a single descriptive word. And the color of the face(s) is just a red
herring -- it's not relevant.
This kind of "light fibbing" to children is very common in Korea -- there's
even a folktale involving a tiger and a dried persimmon built around this
trope. The promised gift is way

联系同学的家长协商索赔吧
估计家长还不知道
有责任感的家长应该会主动负责承担返修或买新机器的全部费用
试想如果是你女儿的车被同学不小心撞了一下,修理费1000左右,你会怎么办?
最后大不了上小额民事法庭
