Brave New World《美丽新世界》
by: Aldous Huxley 阿道司·赫胥黎
在“美丽新世界”里 , 由于社会与生物控制技术的发展 , 人类已经沦为垄断基因公司和政治人物手中的玩偶 。 人们会站出来 , 挑战那些试图统治我们的人工智能吗?
Given the exponential growth of AI, Machine Learning & Robotics, Huxley's vision acts as a warning. Will we rise and challenge those who seek to shape our future or sleepwalk toward conditioning by technology?

I Capture The Castle《 我的秘密城堡》
by: Dodie Smith 道迪·史密斯
这本书以幽默的笔调 , 描绘了年少的情愫和一些家长里短 。 经典书单里需要有这样比较“欢快”的书作为调剂哦!
A 'children's book' that speaks volumes (ha) about unrequited love and dysfunctional families. Timeless. And funny. (and we need some laughs on the 100 Classics list!)

Jane Eyre《简爱》
by: Charlotte Bronte 夏洛蒂·勃朗特
简活成了我们理想中的模样 , 她敢于为自己争取权益 , 也愿意为朋友、为信仰挺身而出 。 这是一位“灰姑娘式”人物的感人奋斗史 。
Because Jane is a role model: she stands up for herself, others and what she believes in, but isn't too proud to give second chances to those whose time is running out.

Crime and Punishment《罪与罚》
by: Fyodor Dostoevsky 弗雷多·托斯妥耶夫斯基
从没有一本小说能够让我对主人公产生如此深刻的共鸣!我反复读了几遍这本小说 , 内心久久无法平静!
No other novel has made me feel so much for the main characters, so deeply depicted by the author. I felt like an orphan when I finished it and it's the only novel I've re-read several times.

A modern classic - so well-articulated and written (something that’s hard to come by these days). Also, EXCELLENT PLOT!

The Chrysalids《蛹/重生》
by: John Wyndham 约翰·温德姆
这是一部后启示录式的小说 , 也是一部科幻小说 , 在多年后的今天仍有很大的启发意义 。
A post-apocalyptic novel, about intolerance, loneliness, friendship, and what it means to be human. A fantastic sci-fi novel, as relevant today as it was in the 50s.

这一直是我最爱的小说 。 它富有感情深度 , 又细致入微 。 随着渐渐长大 , 我们自身也发生了变化 。 年少时不小心犯下的一些错 , 也终将得以弥补 。
This continues to be my favourite novel. It is a more mature love story, full of humourous, delightful observations of human behaviour. It offers us a glimpse of redemption. We change as we grow, and the mistakes made in our youth can be overcome.
