《蓋普眼中的世界》，約翰·歐文 著，張定綺 譯，廣西師范大學出版社，2008年7月
社交方面，珍妮那股毫不優雅的一本正經，讓所有比她無聊的人都覺得不安。她很能讀書，史迪林高中圖書館的書她都讀遍了；每當有人要借書，總發現書已經被費爾茲護士借了。她接電話很客氣，主動承認書一看完就會直接轉給需要的人，而且這種書她一定盡快看完。但她從不曾透露什麼讀后感。在校園里，讀書不與人分享心得，都被視為居心叵測和異常。珍妮讀書的目的何在？

"South Of The Border, West Of The Sun", Haruki Murakami, Vintage, 2003
I loved to read and to listen to music. I'd always liked books and my interest in them had been fostered by my friendship with Shimamoto. I started to go to the library, devouring every book I could lay my hands on. Once I began one, I could't put it down. Reading was like an addiction; I read while I ate, on the train, in bed until late at night, in school, where I'd keep the book hidden so I could read during class. Before long I bought a small stereo and spent all my time in my room, listening to jazz records. But I had almost no desire to talk to anyone about the experience I gained through books and music. I felt happy just being me and no one else. In that sence I could be called a stuck-up loner. I dislike all team sports. I hated any kind of competition where I had to score points against someone else. I much preferred to swim on and on, alone, in silence.
