精彩书摘

　　1. And These Are the People Who Live in the World We Live in
　　IT sounds incredible， but nevertheless it is true. If everybody in this world of ours were six feet tall and a foot and a half wide and a foot thick （and that is making people a little bigger than they usually are）, then the whole of the human race （and according to the latest available statistics, there are now nearly 2,000,000,000 descendants of the original Homo sapiens and his wife） could be packed into a box measuring half a mile in each direction. That, as I just said, sounds incredible, but if you dont believe me figure it Out for yourself and you will find it to be correct.
　　If we transported that box to the Grand Canyon of Arizona and balanced it neatly on the low stone wall that keeps people from breaking their necks when stunned by the incredible beauty of that silent witness of the forces of Eternity and then called little Noodle, the dachshund and told him （the tiny beast is very intelligent and loves to oblige） to give tile unwieldy contraption a slight push with his soft brown nose, there would be a moment of crunching and ripping as the wooden planks loosened stones and shrubs and trees on their downward path and then a low and even softer bumpity-bumpity-bump and a sudden splash when the outer edges struck the banks of the Colorado River.
　　Then silence and oblivion.
　　The human sardines in their mortuary chest would soon be forgotten.
　　The Canyon would go on battling wind and air and sun and rain as it has done since it was created.

超乎想象地小，不过印刷和装订都不错。

纸张不是很好。看看可以，不值得收藏

做活动买的，慢慢读，很不错。

典藏系列，先藏着，慢慢看

书的质量好，配送速度快，一部经典的英文地理著作，对英语学习有帮助

趁着京东11.1有优惠券同时又赶上促销，买了30本原版英文名著才采用了200元，简直太值了！而且书的质量丝毫没有因为价格而出现问题。纸张也很好，是原汁原味的正版，非常感谢京东自营！其实在促销前一天我已经买了10本书了，但是转天京东出了这个活动，所以我又把书退了重新买的。退书的过程也很快捷，直接到离家门口2个街口的自提点退了，什么额外的费用都没有收，而且退的钱款立刻就打到账户了。总的来说这次购物体验刷新了我对京东的印象！

还没看，差下来说还不错，主要是想各国各种体裁都看一下。

《十日谈》是好的，是和《神曲》并驾齐驱的被称为“人曲”的，但是名著就像咱们的故宫或者是长城一样，要保护、要欣赏、却未必能够在此时此景此刻的我们面前，同样取得一样的效果的。

纸张略泛黄，无所谓，反而更有古朴的感觉。
