下文有人對袁紅冰不齒.可是出版自由的意義就是: 所有人都要能不被檢查出版和賣售....
蘋論:到奴役之路
自由是怎麼喪失的?先是對少數個人的悄悄剝奪,發現沒有人在意,進而剝奪多數人的非重點自由,發現反對聲音微弱,遂進一步剝奪少數人的重點自由,最後剝奪全體的自由與權利。
「服貿未過已變糟」
如 果連我們非常尊敬的誠品書店,萬一都成為剝奪台灣人民自由的共犯結構,那麼最後全體人民的自由遭到剝奪(包括誠品老闆),也是水到渠成的事。完成剝奪全民 自由總目標的整個過程,現在正在台灣悄悄推進,主謀是中國,共犯是台灣政府和媚共商家,包括知識的平台:出版商和書店。
中國流亡作家袁紅冰前天在演講中控訴,他寫的新書《殺佛》在台出版後無法在誠品上架,理由疑是「太敏感」,只賣給網路訂購者。袁說他相信背後有中國政府的影子,「兩岸服務貿易協議還沒生效,就已經糟成這樣」,實在太可悲。
《殺佛》的出版商「亞太政治哲學文化出版社」發行人陶延生說,現在已不用警總伺候,書店通路自動揣摩「上意」(中國),比戒嚴時代更有效率,服貿協議還沒簽就已經如此,一旦通過,台灣圖書出版還有自由嗎?
大塊文化發行人郝明義曾警告政府,服貿協議簽訂後,圖書發行的正常通路只能銷售「上面」認可的書,「其實服貿尚未簽訂的現在,已瀰漫戒嚴氣氛,通路內心自己有個小警總。」這正是「到奴役之路」!
出版自由是言論自由和思想自由的重要表現形式之一,如果為做生意而奴顏婢膝地諂媚北京,自甘墮落下去,今天的西藏、香港就是明天的台灣。

商人內心有小警總
北京或許沒有管到那麼細節,更多是台灣相關商人心中的小警總,給自己畫地自限,自我制約,向主子搖尾表功。沒有出版自由,知識就會偏狹而一面倒,嚴重影響我們的思想和判斷。芝 加哥大學法學教授艾普斯坦在《自由社會之原則》的名著中,引述1843年《愛丁堡評論》講得精闢透徹的一段話:「無可置疑的,貿易自由、思想自由、言論自 由以及行動自由,都是同一基本真理的各面向,全部都要受到捍衛,否則全部都受到危害。它們一起挺立,也一起倒塌。」亦即,我們若不捍衛出版自由,也將失去 言論、思想、學術和行動自由。

以下是余杰的貼文,他又引用,另外一位旅德的民運人士,表演藝術家、報導文學作家,廖亦武的話來批判袁紅冰:

《殺佛》誠品拒上架 袁︰服貿還沒生效 就糟成這樣
出版社︰好像戒嚴禁書
出版《殺佛》的亞太政治哲學文化出版社發行人陶延生表示,現在已不用警總伺候,書店通路揣摩「上意」,比戒嚴時代更有效率,服貿協議都還沒簽就已經如此,一旦通過,台灣圖書出版還有自由嗎?
亞太政治哲學文化出版社總經理李文欽也說,誠品確定僅願建檔接受客戶訂購,不願上架,「這種狀況跟戒嚴時期書店對待禁書的作法好像。」現在氛圍跟當年黨外刊物發行的年代幾乎一模一樣。
「通路內心有小警總」
李文欽說,之前大塊文化發行人郝明義擔心服貿協議簽訂後,圖書發行的正常通路只能銷售「上面」所認可的書,「其實服貿尚未簽訂的現在,已瀰漫戒嚴氣氛,通路內心自己有小警總。」
誠品︰會提供代購服務
誠品書店公關部則表示,誠品書店的核心價值是推廣人文、藝術、創意與生活,讀者如果有該書的需求,誠品會提供代購服務。至於其他問題則沒有回覆。
"名著單"很有意思 這19世紀的就是累積的開始
The 100 Best Novels: A Literary Critic Creates a List in 1898
Book lists, despite what younger readers born into Buzzfeed’s ruthless listsicle monopoly may think, have always been popular. Some, like David Bowie’s Top 100 Books, give us a sense of the artist’s development. Others, like Joseph Brodsky’s List of 84 Books for Basic Conversation, provide a Nobel prize-winning benchmark for knowledge. Even though the books are within the reach of most readers, systematically digesting such lists often tries one’s patience. Despite the lack of will or interest in working through someone else’s literary education, however, glancing through such personal anthologies provides us with a glimpse into the maker’s life—be it their private tastes, or their social mores.
In late October, The Times Literary Supplement’s Michael Caines unearthed another Top 100 list; this one, however, has the distinction of hailing from 1898. At the turn of the 20th century, a journalist and author of numerous books on the Brontë sisters named Clement K. Shorter tried his hand at compiling the 100 Best Novels for a journal called The Bookman. The ground rules were simple: the list could feature only one novel per novelist, and living authors were excluded. Today, Shorter’s compendium looks somewhat hit-or-miss. There are some indisputable classics (many of which can be found in our Free eBooks and Free Audio Books collections) and some other texts that have faded into oblivion. Still—one can’t help but experience a certain historical frisson at a 19th century listsicle. Here it goes:
