關於韓、日
最近Google公司決定繼英國、以色列，到韓國設Google Campus，支援該國的創新科技。你在想想新聞說，張顯耀採用韓國的Line加密的通信，台灣的情治單位望之(害蟲)興嘆。也許2年前，台灣也有學生說某部分的產品遠比Line好，願免費供應.....這不過是一聲嘆息而已。

《我與岩波書店：一個編輯的回憶》，北京：三聯，2014

去年讀此書，百感交集。大塚信一剛入岩波書店時，台灣的文星叢刊的"出版緣起" (蕭孟能)，即提到歐美、日本的範例---當時蕭先生對岩波書店的了解，肯定還是很粗淺的。最重要的是，岩波書店可以在2013年慶百年，而文星則如隕星消失。
出版行業之蓬勃、興茂與否，多少反映了國家和時代的氣質。清末梁啟超即發現，日本多學者，所以，他們可以成就活潑、多元的思想供應。

聽bbc 4 詩人生活也沒什麼意思。

9點起。11點多想回去看神岡浮....missed 看燒稻草的故事. 2樓馬先生過世1個月了。他太太送y韓國泡麵。

路平5年花60億。國賠約1500萬。

謝謝告訴我審MOML(Models of My Life) 的機會成本。
現在最大的問題在我這邊。我還沒決定要如何出版這些書。希望12月可以定案。
所以MOML的審稿暫停，明年再說。
不過你花的心血不會白流，我下回會給1萬元，做為這些時候麻煩你的地方。

Philip Larkin: Life, Art and Love Episode 5 of 5
AVAILABILITY:

Philip Larkin was that rare thing among poets - a household name in his own lifetime. Lines such as 'Never such innocence again' and 'Sexual intercourse began / In nineteen sixty-three' made him one of the most popular poets of the last century.

Larkin's reputation as a man, however, has been more controversial. A solitary librarian known for his pessimism, he disliked exposure and had no patience with the literary circus. And when, in 1992, the publication of his Selected Letters laid bare his compartmentalised personal life, accusations of duplicity, faithlessness, racism and misogyny were levelled against him.

There is, of course, no requirement that poets should be likeable or virtuous, but James Booth asks whether art and life were really so deeply at odds with each other. Can the poet who composed the moving 'Love Songs in Age' have been such a cold-hearted man? Can he who uttered the playful, self-deprecating words 'Deprivation is for me what daffodils were for Wordsworth' really have been so boorish?

A very different public image is offered by those who shared the poet's life - the women with whom he was romantically involved, his friends and his university colleagues. It is with their personal testimony, including access to previously unseen letters, that Booth reinstates a man misunderstood - not a gaunt, emotional failure, but a witty, provocative and entertaining presence, delightful company; an attentive son and a man devoted to the women he loved.
