"The Mysterious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" by Mark Haddon. For you who have grown up and are not sophisticated enough. Troubles are a godsend, meaning it doesn't take war, disaster, or major events to make us see the truth about life. George often said, "The secret of contentment is to ignore many things." At the age of sixty, he is facing his retirement life with great ambition. But life has given him some troubles: his daughter is getting married for the second time, and the groom still doesn't seem to be a suitable candidate; his son even plans to bring a man home to attend the wedding; his old friend Bob just passed away last week, and there are lumps suspected of cancer on his body. Just when he was distressed, he accidentally stumbled upon his wife's extramarital affair with a former colleague. This time, not even the proud motto could save George. "No, I can't cause trouble to my family or affect my daughter's wedding." In panic, he decided and began to lose his memory.

How to find yourself in a broken world. The nine stories are based on history, mythology, folktales and real life, showing nine unique situations in different forms. But whether it is daily gloom or absurd and uninhibited imagination, what is conveyed is a deep loneliness: an eternal loneliness that is both longing for and alienated from others and the world. It was an ordinary Christmas Eve, and Gavin returned to his parents' house like every other year. The irritating snow, the hypocritical greetings, and the boring dinner without any progress, everything is no different. Suddenly, a homeless man broke into the living room, took out a gun and put it on the table, saying that he wanted to play a game with them. The whole family was frightened. Only Gavin managed to maintain his composure and took the gun. "What game do you want to play?" He asked. "Shoot me," the stranger said.
