I love myself some magic in my books, or Faster than Light Travel. But I also love literary fiction. Obviously not every book will be your cup of tea, but these are books that I recommend for when the mood strikes. (Warning, some books may make you feel like garbage).

克拉拉与太阳 de 宋佥, Kazuo Ishiguro
4 étoiles
克拉拉是一个专为陪伴儿童而设计的太阳能人工智能机器人（AF），具有极高的观察、推理与共情能力。她坐在商店展示橱窗里，注视着街头路人以及前来浏览橱窗的孩子们的一举一动。她始终期待着很快就会有人挑中她，不过，当这种永久改变境遇的可能性出现时，克拉拉却被提醒不要过分相信人类的诺言。
在《克拉拉与太阳》这部作品中，石黑一雄通过一位令人难忘的叙述者的视角，观察千变万化的现代社会，探索了一个根本性的问题：究竟什么是爱？
