The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain
Kakatapos lang. Hay! Grabe para tong libro nato. Ang hirap intindihin! Akala ko pambata hindi pala. Siguro mga 25% lang naintindihan ko sa pinagsasabi ni Mark Twain Hindi siya easy reading. Not recommended for beginning readers. (So beginner pala ako )

Dude, you should read "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" (if you still haven't read it.)

Other must-read classics: "1984" by George Orwell, "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding and "On The Road" by Jack Kerouac

I want to start reading. What is a good book to start with? I already finished reading Eric Gamalinda's "My Sad Republic" and Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad, Poor Dad".

meron bang parang Existentialism or Philosophy for dummies? hehe.

Just started with Salman Rushdie's Shalimar the Clown. I like his writing style. I have a pile of books left to read though. Sakit ko yun - laging napapabili pag nasa book store.

I have finished books 1-4 of A song of Ice and Fire. I'm now on the 5th book (A Dance with Dragons). Now, I wish that the plots in Star Wars were half as good

(I'm a Star Wars fan btw).

Ui ayos ito... Reading is actually another hobby of mine.

Reading takes me to other worlds, opens me up to the thoughts of people who were before me... thoughts that will stay even after they are (and I am) gone

Books are mankind's history!

kung ano-ano lang din mga binabasa ko eh.. Hitler's Third Reich.. The Red Wall ... Lord of the Rings.. Harry Potter.. Game of Thrones.. Hundred Years Of Solitude... Love In The Time Of Cholera... Communist Manifesto ... kahit ano basta mukhang interesting go ako diyan! Bata pa lang kasi tinuruan na ako magbasa eh.. iba yung feeling na inuumpisahan mo magbasa eh.. para kang nanonood ng movie (although sometimes mas matindi yung libro kasi yung images na nabubuo sa isip mo eh di mo matanggal talaga)

Mahilig din ako kay Garcia Marquez

For Some Reasons, Lulong ako sa mga "Adolf Hitler" Related Stuff ngayon. Lalo na yung mga Book/Documentary. I'm more interested in reading Facts, History, and the likes.

oh hey fellow bookworms.

i too like reading, although on and off rin minsan. pag me bagong libro basa ulit. pag wala , wala rin babasahin. minsan naiipon lang din ung libro sa bahay, di ko rin nababasa hahaha,

anyways, i last read

Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami

galeng grabe! lahat ng emosyon mararamdaman mo. tsaka ang ganda mag painting ng image ni Murakami, kala mo nasa scene ka mismo kahit na onting words lang gamitin.

then last last one, hmmh.

Illustrado by Miguel Syjuco

eto mejo politically themed, kala ko talaga totoo ung mga nangyare sa libro, mga bandang gitna tnanong ko utol ko kung totoo ung mga kwento 10 years ago.potek hahaha di pala.

right now, i'm kind of looking for a book list ng 10 greatest novels of the world.

kaso ung mga naglalabasan kase sa net parang puro American themed lists
so wala lang feeling ko lang westernized masyado.

anyone know like a top 100 novels you must read before you die list?? or any list whatsoever na mejo balanced ang cultures

It's been years since I last read that novel. That, together with "Norwegian Wood" (another murakami classic) are considerably his best works IMHO.

Finished the first four books of A Song of Ice and Fire. I have started A Dance with Dragons but I can't find the drive to read further, he he he.

yes, recently finished this too.
masyadong erotic ang theme ng norwegian wood hehehe
i kinda like Kafka on the shore more than norwegian wood, though they're both great

have you seen the movie adaption of norwegian wood?
Fail lang

haven't seen it yet. hirap kasi sa book to movie adaptations, nakakalimutan madalas ang mismong essence ng story in lieu of "profitable" concepts.

yeah norwegian wood the best. isa sa mga love story na nakakapanghina lang. cute ni midori. ssyotain ko yun sa totoong buhay hahaha.

"Let me just tell you this, Watanabe. I’m a real, live girl, with real, live blood gushing through my veins. You’re holding me in your arms and I’m telling you that I love you. I’m ready to do anything you tell me to do. I may be a little crazy but I’m a good kid, and honest and I work hard, I’m kinda cute, I’ve got nice boobs, I’m a good cook, and my father left me a trust fund. I mean, I’m a real bargain, don’t you think?"

hehehe. i remember this.
and you know whats weird, only Midori, compared to the other female characters, they never do it in the whole story.

mejo nakakainis lng din ung themes sa book ni Murakami na meron "promise me you'll never forget about me"
parang ultimate friendzone line, tapos mamatay bigla ung babae. aysus!

teleclem · « **Reply #96 on:** August 21, 2012, 09:14:03 PM »

I really like Norwegian Wood too. I just got my copy of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. I'll see how that goes.

For something different, I just finished reading this:

Currently seeking out Allen Dulles' The Craft of Intelligence because of it.

Riff_6603 · « **Reply #97 on:** September 11, 2012, 04:50:57 AM »

8.5/10

I'd give it a 9 if only it would've been a tad bit longer. interesting concept though.

really great ending, i must say. nothing absolute, not much resolved but keeps so many options open
