A book with blank pages entitled "What every man thinks about apart from sex" has become a surprise bestseller.
《除了性,男人什么都不想》是一本无字空白书,让人意想不到的是,它竟然成为畅销书。
Sheridan Simove's 200-page book has sold out on Amazon following heavy promotion in student unions across the UK.
The £4.69 ($7.62) item, intended as a novelty gift, is being used by students as a notebook, reports Metro.
Nottingham university student Jess Lloyd said: "I bought a copy for my mate as a joke and he started using it as a note pad for lectures. Now everyone seems to have one. It's started a real craze on campus."
Simove, 39, an Oxford University graduate, said: "I never anticipated that my book would be used for students to take their lecture notes in.
"After many years of hard work I finally realized that men think of absolutely nothing apart from sex. It was a shocking conclusion and I realized that the world needed to be informed of my findings," added her.
这本书的作者是谢瑞达·瑟穆乌,虽然全书没有一个字,但是在英国学生会中及其抢手,在卓越网上更是销售一空。
此书售价是4.69英镑(约7.62美元)。此书本来是作为一个新颖的礼物而问世,现在被很多同学用来当笔记本用。
来自诺丁汉大学的学生杰斯·罗伊德说:“我买这本书送给男朋友本来是想和他开个玩笑,谁曾想他用它来记笔记。现在学校里机会是人手一本。在校园里这太疯狂了。”
瑟穆乌今年39岁,毕业于牛津大学。她说:“我做梦都没有想到我的书会被学生用来记课堂笔记。”
她接着说:“经过多年努力研究,我发现男人眼里只有性。这个发现太令人吃惊了,所以我决定把我的研究结果公布于世。” |
