I didn't like books where people played on a sports team and won a bunch of games, or went to summer camp and had a wonderful time. I really liked a book where a witch might cut a child's head off or a pack of angry dogs might burst through a door and terrorize a family.

  • -- Daniel Handler 丹尼尔·汉德勒

我不喜欢人们在运动队打球,赢了很多比赛,或者去夏令营玩得很开心的书。我真的很喜欢一本书,书中女巫可能会砍掉一个孩子的头,或者一群愤怒的狗可能会破门而入,恐吓一个家庭。
