All other things being equal–do you prefer used books? Or new books? (The physical speciman, that is, not the title.) Does your preference differentiate between a standard kind of used book, and a pristine, leather-bound copy?
這星期四的主題是：Something Old, Something New
藉著這主題，讓小心翼翼收藏起來的食譜重現江湖
《The IDEAL COOKERY BOOK》by M. A. Fairclough (1914)

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
- Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
My teaser:
"My flower is ephemeral," the little prince said to himself, "and she has only four thorns to defend herself against the world. And I have left her on my planet, all alone!" That was his first moment of regret. -p.52 《The Little Prince》 by Antoine de Saint-Exupery

What great books did you hear about/discover this past week? Share with us your FRIDAY FINDS!
接連兩個禮拜用2006年古董級的PSP看電子書（從文字檔直接轉成圖片檔的方式）
閱讀完《
白夜行》上下兩冊，和《
Around the World in 80 days》，
眼睛因為直視的背光很強的螢幕，有快瞎掉的感覺
閱讀電子書的代價好大

What’s the most romantic book you’ve ever read?
(Mind you, I don’t mean the hard-core stuff you hide in plain wrappers under your mattress. I mean True Love, Romance, deeply emotional, heart-tugging, and all that stuff.) And, secondly, did you like it? Is it your usual kind of reading, or did it take you by surprise?

1. From Time to Time

- commoner - 平民（非貴族、或鄉紳）
Merriam-Webster Dictionary的Trend Watch有解釋過
commoner，去年底威廉王子Prince William和凱特Kate Middleton宣佈完婚日期時，那整整一個多禮拜，打開報紙或是BBC新聞，都會提到Kate Middleton為第一位嫁入英國皇室的平民王妃commoner。
