具体描述
Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read. Groucho Marx "Outside of a Dog" is the captivating account of twenty-five books drawn from the fields of literature, psychology and philosophy, and a memoir of a reading self. Tracing the formative role books have played in his life, Rick Gekoski trains the same ironic and analytic eye on these books and their authors as he does on himself. The result is unique: a sustained, witty book dedicated to the proposition that we are what we read. "Outside of A Dog" might be described as an intellectual bibliomemoir, except that the author regards the noun 'intellectual' as a term of abuse. Gekoski's twenty-five include: Dr. Seuss, "Horton Hatches the Egg"; Magnus Hirschfeld, "Sexual Anomalies and Perversions"; Allen Ginsberg, "Howl"; J.D. Salinger, "The Catcher in the Rye"; T.S. Eliot, "The Waste Land"; Descartes, "Meditations"; David Hume, "An Inquiry Concerning Human Understanding"; W.B. Yeats, "The Collected Poems"; F.R. Leavis, "The Common Pursuit"; Matthew Arnold, "Culture and Anarchy"; Tom Wolfe, "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test"; Ludwig Wittgenstein, "Philosophical Investigations"; R.D. Laing, "The Divided Self"; Germaine Greer, "The Female Eunuch"; D.H. Lawrence, "Women in Love"; A.S. Neill, "Summerhill"; Roald Dahl, "Matilda"; Alice Miller, "Pictures of a Childhood"; A.J. Ayer, "Language, Truth, and Logic"; Sigmund Freud, "The Interpretation of Dreams"; Carl Hiaasen, "Double Whammy"; Peter Wright, "Spycatcher"; and, Rick Gekoski, "Staying Up".
