在线阅读《Lucky Man》

"Life is great. Sometimes, though, you just have to put up with a little more crap." --Michael J. Fox In September 1998, Michael J. Fox stunned the world by announcing he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease -- a degenerative neurological condition. In fact, he had been secretly fighting it for seven years. The worldwide response was staggering. Fortunately, he had accepted the diagnosis and by the time the public started grieving for him, he had stopped grieving for himself. With the same passion, humor, and energy that Fox has invested in his dozens of performances over the last 18 years, he tells the story of his life, his career, and his campaign to find a cure for Parkinson's. Combining his trademark ironic sensibility and keen sense of the absurd, he recounts his life -- from his childhood in a small town in western Canada to his meteoric rise in film and television which made him a worldwide celebrity. Most importantly however, he writes of the last 10 years, during which -- with the unswerving support of his wife, family, and friends -- he has dealt with his illness. He talks about what Parkinson's has given him: the chance to appreciate a wonderful life and career, and the opportunity to help search for a cure and spread public awareness of the disease. He is a very lucky man, indeed.

    前几章说自己放浪的生活和跟帕金森搏斗的真的非常抓人。非常喜欢他的BTTF,多么年轻有才华的演员。08-01

    读的第一本英文书 很喜欢 查字典看一遍 查完全本再读一遍 其实有一边在补MJF的剧和电影一边在理解书里的内容 所以很能get到他在讲什么 compelling reading 喜欢他大概是因为身患incurable disease但依然自己indeed lucky 虽然不再是当年BTTF那个踩滑板风流倜傥的少年但是字里行间散发着一种沉淀下来的魅力和稳重05-23
