Stephen King's best collection of short stories, 2 volumes in total. They are "Vigil" and "The Impermanence of Things" respectively. "Vigil": Listen to me; friend. Never go to the town of Jerusalem; never mind how quaint the church spires are and how quiet the streets are. And don't walk into the endless cornfields; there are a group of children hiding there; they worship the God who walks in the cornfields. And don't clean out an unused basement just to make a buck; there may be a basement beneath it. Don't go for a walk in the strawberry spring; don't approach the parking lot next to the highway; don't envy the boy whose eyes are illuminated by love; don't fall in love with the person who understands all your needs; don't expect someone to catch you when you fall off the ladder... And don't talk to me in a wheelchair; I am just a door; those eyes hidden under my bandages are about to wake up. "The Impermanence of Things": The mysterious event of death can only be understood by those with full imagination. The man with flames in his eyes told the boy fishing by the stream: Your mother just died. The taciturn young man regularly poured change into the sewer outside the house. The dull desperado is good at tying flies with cotton string, just like a man on the prairie tying a horse. A man saves his wife who wants to divorce him from a machete wielded by a madman, but the wife wants him dead. The husband gave his wife a cute kitten, but she eventually ran away from home because she hated the cat and was never heard from again. A poor college student who was eager to visit his sick mother accidentally took a ride in a car driven by a dead man. He tried his best to pretend not to see the smoke rings seeping out from between the sutures on the driver's neck. The successful man lay straight on the autopsy table, unable to tell the two doctors who were flirting while working: He was still alive. The tired salesman took stock of his memories in his motel room, considering the appropriate way to say goodbye. The streets were bustling with people, and no one knew that there were people behind the brick walls fighting for their lives in the dark. How many people have slept in that hotel bed before you? How many people have taken out their Bible from their bedside drawer, read a few passages, and then hung themselves in the closet next to the TV? Well, anyway, let's check in first.

This book is one of Updike's three famous collections of art essays ("Glimpse of Light", "Unblinking Eyes" and "Three Points in the Wood"). It was first published in 2012 and contains a total of 15 art criticism essays. Through more than 20 years of exhibition viewing experience since the 1990s, the author leads readers infinitely closer to the works of art masters. From an "American perspective", the author comprehensively reviews Western master art works in the past two hundred years, from classical to modern, from Impressionism to Pop culture, and appreciates the works of more than ten artists including Monet, Degas, Miro, Vuillard, Beckmann, Magritte, and Lichtenstein. There is a separate commentary on the Clark Brothers, the great collectors, explaining the special relationship between art and humanities, that is, how art, as an accessory to civilized life, can become a spiritual gamble or an investment in the future. As a literary painter of the human soul, Updike tried to use his own philosophical concepts and aesthetics as the unlocking code of art to summon a hint, a poem, or even a devil hidden in the painting; he extended visual embrace to spiritual thinking, achieving a leap from "look" to "see". The book is accompanied by nearly 200 pictures of artworks.

"Silent Spring" is the representative work of American female writer Rachel Carson and one of the most influential books in the world in the past 50 years. The beginning of "Silent Spring" depicts the mutation of a beautiful village to us, describing that humans may face a world without birds, bees and butterflies, and comprehensively reveals the dangers of chemical pesticides. It was this unusual book that attracted people's attention to wild animals and aroused people's environmental awareness around the world. It is recognized as the foundational work that started the world environmental movement. Carson's main argument is based on science. Carson spent four full years collecting and reviewing a large amount of data and literature surrounding pesticides, insecticides and other harmful modern chemicals. The book ends with a "primary information list" that is dozens of pages long. The list includes dozens of scientific reports, the author's interviews with leading experts in various fields, and various related academic papers. From a scholar's perspective, this not only shows that the materials used by the author in writing almost exhaust the scientific research on the hazards of chemicals that could be searched at that time, but also shows that many scientists were aware of the hazards of chemicals and started research accordingly.
