该话题参考文本

The Moon and Sixpence was just that kind of a book for me. I first read the book when I was studying in London, the hometown of the author.  The book is just mind blowing. The book tells the story about an uncompromising and self-destructive man who forsakes wealth and comfort to pursue the life of a painter.

Every page of the book is so gripping and intriguing that once a person starts reading the book it is impossible to leave it and do something else. It is such a page-turner. It teaches a really good lesson on how focused he was on the moon rather than sixpence. Another good lesson it teaches is that no matter where you are or at what age, you can ace it if you believe in yourself.
