Pagbabasa siguro ng kahit ano... Libro (Fiction, non-fiction esp Cinical Psychology and Court Proceedings), Dyaryo (even Obituaries), Magazine (kahit pambabae or "Teens"), Blogs, Wikipedia... even porn. Madami natututunan then ina-apply sa totoong buhay... May magandang resulta, me wala. pero sa experience na yun, in the end, may natutunan...
Hindi rin mananakaw yung mga natutunan sa pamamagitan ng pagbasa...
a little OT: Isusunod ko na siguro yung Matchbox/Hotwheels/Slot Car collection... Nakaka relax. heheh. Pag galing sa trabaho, nakakawala ng pagod... too bad, na-Ondoy yung iba... pero nadaragdagan ng 1 o 2 tuwing sweldo at may extrang pambili. hehe.

Uy! Bagong forum category! :-)
Reading is definitely one of my hobbies. It's educational, whether it be information from books or the internet (wikipedia, etc etc etc). It also broadens your vocabulary.
Nice toycar collection you got there! I remember when I was still 9 years old. I used to buy Hot Wheels/Matchbox and take them from their packaging haha. I guess I still have 'em cars somewhere here.
-
i love to read. kahit ano. naalala ko dati, i'd rather buy encyclopedia set that toys. of all things, yung pugad baboy series sa inquirer ang naging dahilan para mahilig ako sa pagbabasa. may subscription kase kame sa inquirer dati and una pugad baboy lang binabasa ko then eventually yung sports pages hanggang buong dyaryo na. then hanggang books na. the internet is such a blessing kase halos lahat ng mga books/articles na wala dito sa atin mababasa na, it came with a cost though, lumabo mata ko. medyo addictus kase ako magbasa, hindi ako titigil hanggang di ko natatapos. lalo na yung mga spy thrillers, kaya yun. pinaka extreme na ginawa ko e tapusin yung harry potter: order of phoenix in 3 days. walang work kase kaya reading marathon.
-
hindi ba dapat books yung pics?... :-D
anyway, my reading is determined by time and the availability of reading materials. pag may movies ako hindi ako makapagbasa at lalo na pag nakaharap sa internet. pero nagttry na ulit ako magbasa dahil sa iba pang plano ko sa buhay... :-D
pero kaylngan mo muna alamin kung ano ang gusto mong basahin o alamin
-
salamat sa lahat... i think i will have to transfer the images to the die cast collectors thread na ginawa ni James_Animagi. :-)

haha. oo nga, Bro. 2nd hobby ko lang yung car collection... :-D yung books ko kasi, ni-rape ni Ondoy. nasa ilalim ng toy car shelves tapos wala ako sa bahay nung bumagyo, i was too late to save them...
@Jeff,
I envy you esp. on the Pugad Baboy. Bawal kasi samin comics dati kaya di ko nakahiligan tuloy. :cry: Puro encyclopaedia at self-help ang tinambak samin ng parents namin. hahah. But those helped a lot. Tapos yun nga, lumabo din mata sa kakabasa lalo na pag di mo mabitawan yung binabasa mo. hehe.
could anyone suggest a good reading material in "motivating others"? I have that problem for both my officemates and an organization I belong to. Nakaka-dismaya tuloy.
-
Walang MOD dito?
For the meantime, that would be me.

Thanks po :)

actually bawal din comics, yung collection ko ng funny komiks sinunog ng erpats ko eh, basura lang daw yun, walang matututunan. pero yung sa comics section ng inquirer wala sya magawa.
as for motivational books, check mo yung kay francis kong, personally hindi ko pa nababasa books nya pero twice na sya nag speak sa office namin and mare-rekomenda ko sya, mahal lang talent fee nun kaya mas practical na bili ka na lang book nya. not sure sa mga international authors.
-
mahilig ako magbasa ng wikipedia. tapos mga dummies books.

wikipedia is kool, but remember that it's not a good material to cite when writing your own stuff, or even quoting things there during discussion. Diba pwedeng i-edit ng kung sino yun. Better yet click the sources or related articles below i.e. endnotes, etc. though kung madaliang basa at info, sa wikipedia din ako... :-D
question, e-books or hardcopies?

thanks for the suggestion, Jeff. Hanapin ko to mamaya pag-uwi. sakto, sweldo, may pambili. hahah.
question, e-books or hardcopies?
nag-aalangan ako sa e-books. meron kasi mga tao na nanggagagu, iniiba yung istorya... lalo na nung sumikat yung Harry Potter noon. kala ko nakadownload ako ng magandang copy. pagdating sa huli, parang nawala na sa tema. nun ni-check ko sa original book ng pinsan ko, ayun. mali pala.
kaya parang mas gusto ko pa din ang hardcopy. pero sa hardcopies naman, hindi ako bumibili ng brand new, kaya suki ako sa Booksale. haha. sa 1 brand new, 2 o 3 books na sa booksale. bibili lang ako ng brandnew kapag worth buying talaga. Art of War na translated in Cavell, naka-3 na kong bili. laging nawawala. :?

make a guess... hehehe
-
lima palang ang nabibili kong libro sa buhay ko pero madami nakong nabasa dahil nanghiram lang ako.. :D at parehas tayo sa booksale lang din...hindi ako bumibili ng novels puro informative lang...hehe
My latest purchase - CLAPTON Autobiography, my christmas gift to myself...(pics to follow) :lol:
make a guess... hehehe
aaaaaa....both? :-P
the question's for everybody anyway.. :-D
ako hard copies din, pero kung journal articles wala nang magagawa kasi nasa pdf na lahat...
-
sige na nga, pdf files. hehehe. wala ako pera pambili ng hard copies eh
-
minsan kasi masakit sa mata ang pdf...lalo na kung novels...tapos yung effort pa ng pag scroll/page down... :lol:
madami akong ebooks tungkol sa music at guitarra pero dahil gusto ko magsulat ngayon ang sources ko ay mga online journals nalang..ang problema pag may bayad :x
nakakaengganyo din yung mga komiks na softcopy, pero minsan natatamad ako dahil sa scrolling :lol: tapos dapat may .cbr software pa...una kong nabasang ganun yung Watchmen...nung tinamad ako pinanood ko nalang yung movie... :-P
-
i still prefer hardcopies over ebooks for personal reading, pero yung mga references na gamit namin sa trabaho karamihan softcopy na since masyadong madami kung hardcopy and every year nag uupdate. kung bibilhin din kase sobrang mahal samantalang kung yung softcopy, yearly subscription lang, nagagamit pa ng buong kumpanya.
problem lang dito satin napaka limited ng titles ng available books. pero dun sa powerbooks pwede ka magrequest kung may gusto kang title, medyo matagal lang bago maging available.
-
Medyo sumasakit na mata ko pag Ebooks. haha. Anyhoo, GAS ako ngayon dun sa Hardcover na H.P Lovecraft, Paradise Lost tsaka Dracula na nakita ko sa Fully booked. Sanang may extra funds nga lang.

reading is passive reading!
book lover here present..
-
i never like reading at all.. but lately i kinda like it.. hehe
it kinda broaden mY head.. :mrgreen:
nyway i read these stuff -- novels of dan brown & sidney sheldon, harry potter series, autobiography of bands and artists..
and ofcourse man the holy shEEt from japan -- MANGA!
never miss a day without reading one.. hehe
so watcha reading man?
-
i always Read magazines like "Awake" and "The Watchtower".
-
Uy. Okay to ah. Hehe.
I'd like to consider myself as a voracious reader back when I didn't have a laptop and desktop. Mostly, yung mga binabasa ko eh mga military books; works by authors like Tom Clancy, Andy McNabb, Richard Marcinko, H. Jay Riker, David Michaels. I was also into sci-fi/fantasy books such as Harry Potter, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Warhammer 40k, Forgotten Realms. Comics and graphic novels din, nangolekta ako before. Plus tons and tons of general fiction books I found in the house (as my mom was quite the bookworm herself).
Yun nga lang mula nung nagka-laptop, and then on, desktop, medyo na-lessen na pagbili ko ng books. Although, sometimes I'd download books in PDF format. But then again, I still enjoy reading through wiki sites such as Wikipedia, Gundam Wiki, Star Wars Wiki, Dragon Age Wiki, etc.
-
Q: How come you know a lot?
A: Because I'm a WILD reader. :-D :-P
Recommended "old" readings:
1. The Art of War by Sun Tzu - my guide to survival in different aspects of life...
2. The Street Lawyer by John Grisham - even it's just a novel, it kind of wakes me up to reality...
Best recommended reading:
The Bible - Spiritually, it's uplifting... Practically, we get a) Action, b) Love Stories, c) A lot of Hero stories, d) Vocation, e) Quotes, and a lot of stories and sayings that guide us through life...
-
Ako naman I started reading just last year with The Hobbit.
I love Isaac Asimov's works. So far, natapos ko na Prelude to Foundation, Forward The Foundation, Foundation and nasa kalagitnaan na ako ng Foundation and Empire.
After I finish the Foundation series, LOTR naman...hehe :-D
Habit ko rin magbasa Encyclopedia nung bata ako kasi may picture. Ngayon na lang ako nahilig sa mga novels. Better late than never!

hindi mo madadala ang ebooks habang nasa biyahe na sobrang trapik. :D unless ilabas mo ang iPad mo habang nasa pampublikong sasakyan.
masarap mag-immerse sa mga philosophy books, sigurado dugo ang mata mo pag binasa mo in PDF form :D
minsan naisip kong bumisita ng mga public libraries at humanap ng mga fiction stuff (except for vampire stuff and such fantasies!) na inaalikabok na at napagdaanan na ng ilang siglo. tipong mga best sellers noon na nakalimutan na.
and regarding novels-turned-movies, iba pa rin talaga pag binasa ang libro, lalong mae-enhance ang utak mo sa pag-imagine ng mga events and characters, unlike sa movie na-interpret na kasi ng director, at spoon-feeding na lang yung kwento...
-
Sarap nga po magbasa lalo na pag yun mga fiction, mapapaimagine ka. :-D
Pero syempre yung mga facts din, search search sa net. Haha.
Minsan matapos nalng isang buong araw kaka basa! :lol:

I used to read newspapers a lot when I was still in high school. Favorite ko yung World News kasi hinihintay ko magkagera. I don't know why. Hehe... Then when I was a bit older (i think that was yesterday.. joke!) fiction books na ung binabasa ko. Books of dan brown blew my imagination.
When I encountered God I started to read the Bible which will always be the best book. I still read the Bible everyday and God's Words never fails to inspire me.
Leadership books are good too. Those written by John Maxwell is really a blessing. I also would recommend a book for those who thinks a lot... the idea book... search nyo na lang sa national bookstore. hehe!
-
Ayos talaga yung new forum :-D
Reading is something I do regularly. Paminsan, malas lang at wala akong time. Nabibitin ako when my "to read" pile gets taller and taller :lol: medyo impulsive rin ako bumili ng books and magazines. I don't mind spending for them. Lagi namang sulit :-)

I'm reading books again , after spending some time with PDF files.
atleast I won't risk breaking any LCD ebook readers, but I'm hoping to get one soon.
I read mostly devotional/ inspirational books.

This is funny :lol:

I still prefer actual books than read stuff on screen There's something about the turning of a page with your hand and the smell of ink and paper that I find enjoyable, where you can "touch" the characters. Giles, of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, said the same thing when he was asked why he doesn't like using computers.

Iba pa din talaga kapag sa libro nagbabasa.
I really love reading especially pag andun na ako sa time na page turner na yung binabasa ko at napapabilis ang basa. :-)

lagay na rin tayo ng ratings natin katulad dun sa movies section.
Girl with the dragon tattoo.
8/10
-
I Am Ozzy (Ozzy Osbourne w/Chris Ayres) - 9/10. the book is written in a very conversational style, almost as if you were listening to ozzy speak, complete with the brummie slang...
currently finishing Sid Vicious - No One Is Innocent (Alan Parker) and so far it's a 7/10...
-
Reading has always been a good recreational activity for me. It helped me gain knowledge far beyond the ordinary individuals who don't read. It's like getting an idea from the author of the book. An extension of their wits. Keep on reading.
-
binabasa ko po ngayon A Game Of Thrones ni George R.R. Martin, yung huli kong binasa The Hellfire Club ni Peter Straub. Labas na mga science fiction fans dito! hahaha
-
Nakakaadik nga magbasa. Napaparami pagbabasa ko ngayon.
Huli ko nabasa The Catcher in the Rye. Ok lang. Hindi na kasi ko ganon kaya hindi ko masyado naapreciate. Pero maganda din naman talaga siya. I'd rate it 7/10. Pero funny talaga siya haha. More of comedy siya para sakin kesa depressing na story na madalas sabihin ng mga taong pa-coollll.
Mga librong nabasa ko these past few weeks:
Dark Tower series: The Gunslinger (Book 1) by Stephen King.
Ok lang din, luma na kasi, siguro nung time na yun benta pa siya sa tao. Yung huling part nalang nung ineexplain na yung Dark Tower saka ako na-engganyo. Ayoko na yata basahin yung 7 more books nito kasi parang luma na yung style.
Naked by Dave Sedaris
Nirecommend lang ng kaibigan ko. Nakakatawa daw eh hindi naman ako natawa. [pichapie] si Dave at kinkwento lang niya mga ginagawa niya sa buhay niya. Ok din naman pagkkwento niya.
Snakes and Earrings (Japanese Author)
Medyo weird, tungkol lang siya actually sa dila na cncut para maghugis dila ng snake. At piercings. Tapos ang pinaka highlight ay yung nagssex na yung babae at nagpierce sa kanya. Sadista kasi yung pagssex. At napakagaling nung pagkakadescribe ng pagssex nila. Parang gusto ko tawagan yung fubu ko bigla nun LOL. Medyo sick tong novel na to.
Right now ang binabasa ko ay yung 1984 ni George Orwell. Bigay ko opinion ko pag natapos na.
-

1984 by George Orwell
Nabasa ko na. This is such a powerful book that I think it is more than just a novel. Never thought of how the world could end up like how it was portrayed in the book. Nakakatakot din pala kung ganon mangyayari. Para nga siyang warning. Especially dun sa afterword ni Erich Fromm marrealise mo. Puwede nga kayang ganon mangyari?
-
I recommend "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" and "Catcher on the Rye."

Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. Was frustrated when i watched the movie

Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. Was frustrated when i watched the movie
The problem with Dan Brown is, you read one book, you've read them all. All throughout his four previous books (i've read all of them), he used the same plot points, and simply changed the characters and the scenes. There would always be the main character in a dream, an event that puts the world in danger, a person who got killed, a bad guy you least suspect, and a "bad ass" cop-like character.

The advantage of ebooks is the physical space that you can save. But yeah, I still prefer the so-called dead trees. Sunday morning at the porch, reading a good hard cover or a paper back, endless coffee and occasional chat with the wife. :) (I'm getting old, damn it!)

I'll put in the cliche +1 (because I'm a Gaiman fan), he he he. His latest is The Graveyard Book. Premise is that a boy was raised by ghosts (much like Tarzan raised by apes).

question, e-books or hardcopies?
Hard copy kasi iba pa din ang feel ng may binubuklat ka, yung tunog ng papel as you turn the pages, and yung paglalagay ng bookmark. But I have to resort to e-books sa iPhone ko because the nature of my work requires me so.

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)

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.

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

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.
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!

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:

8.5/10
I'd give it a 9 if only it would've been a tad bit longer. interesting concept though.

finally finished reading Noli Me Tangere.
this time outside of "high school neccessity"
never really understood it back then.
really great ending, i must say. nothing absolute, not much resolved but keeps so many options open
