《ZODIAC》by Neal Stephenson

《紅字》, http://book.douban.com/subject/2193878/

被評價為「當代的變形記」的The Diagnosis (The Diagnosis: A Novel: Alan Lightman: 9780375725500: Amazon.com: Books)，是麻省理工的一名物理教授Alan Lightman寫的，講的是一個男人在波士頓紅線坐地鐵的時候突然失去了自己所有記憶，然後接受了一種奇奇怪怪的治療的故事。坐地鐵的整個過程、他失憶後在波士頓downtown遊盪的過程都讓生活在波士頓的我感到很熟悉，男人在失憶前的正常生活也是波士頓居民的典型生活。

關注波士頓的可以看看呀，不過純粹看小說的話我覺得沒什麼必要，沒有看下去這本書.....純粹看小說的話推薦同一個作者另外一本Einstein"s Dream，很萌很腦洞的！

小說網站太多了，你們有沒有啥好看的小說網站啊

有一本比較新的小說，a good house。寫的是波士頓旁邊一個小鎮的故事。看完兩個月內是我的最愛

Laura Warholic: Or, The Sexual Intellectual, by Alexander Theroux.

The Bostanians by Henry James

1886年的老書。作者是英國人，講述的卻是一個發生在大西洋彼岸的言情故事。文筆很不錯，書中的百合以及女權情節，結合當時的時代背景，也相當有趣。
