Apa maksud En Khairul dengan "we have to pick up the slack for the rest of...."?

To fill up for the laziness of the non reading Malaysians...ain't that rite bro. khairul.
Every person reads for different reasons. A student mugs his books like mad for the exams; A bookish person like khairul reads for the pleasure of reading; I for instance do my readings as a mean of language acquisition.
So...READ that was the injunction by Allah through Gibril To The Prophet, as the first Revelation in Iqrak...No matter what you read but Read, it could be on papyrus, on the fronds of date palms on sheep skins. Does Allah instruct you to be choosy in what you read...guess not, Read so that you be enlightened. As you all often say don't be a book snob...Cheers.

Maksud saya memandangkan majoriti rakyat tak membaca, jadi kita ni 'terpaksa' menambahkan jumlah buku yg kita baca semata-mata mahu meningkatkan purata buku yg dibaca rakyat M'sia.
Pendek kata, org lain malas membaca jadi kita kenalah 'baca' untuk mereka.

Rubbing my hands with glee. This year I vow to read thick novels to discard the notion that women read light books compared to men. I'm aiming at 50 books and aiming to finish my Tunnels trilogy (which I bought in year 2010, but haven't started reading on the second book onwards :p)I'm also aiming to behave myself and not go berserk on mention of book sale or book Xcess on that matter :p
To my dear K. Hayati dan K. Ummu Auni hehe.. Saya gagal baca buku yang dipinjam daripada akak berdua tahun lepas.. saya sukar untuk memulangkannya kerana belum dibaca.. huhu..
I was introduced to literature beginning with the classicsWas it Dickens’s Great expectations with Phillip Phirrip or Pip
My earliest memory was to figure out the words while in Std 6
All was Greek to me but that was the way my teacher did it.
When I grew older literature was in my blood
But can tolerate fantasies , romanticisms, and of course the slut
It's the pristine classics mostly written by those who have already died
Or the memoirs, biography, war, historical heavy on facts.
When I thence stumble upon this forum by chance
Boy; am I horrified but concurrently a tad delighted at the stance
That, those of you who’re racing to complete 50 books in a glance
Whence I hardly could purchase two in a month
You fortunate dudes should thank your lucky stars
How the Provider showers His Rahmat on you in profusion
As to this writer it would be just a fantasy of sorts
To fancy a collection of Enid Blyton is a forgone conclusion
A Proletariat struggling to make ends meet, hence writing whimsical stanzas

Fariza,
Tak apa. Ambil masa. Buku adalah santapan yang minda yang perlu dinikmati sebaik mungkin.

Shavian, use the libraries (but I bet you did) :)
Terima kasih, cik puan; for the timely advice, that is exactly what I did, rummaging thru the local library for good titles but most new books that are frequently mentioned in this here blog, are unavailable.Walaubagaimana pun dimana ada kemahuan disitulah ada jalan, I frequently read through khairul h, book review for any good synopsis to purchase. many thanks to khairul from his book review i came to this forum.
Moga-moga saya boleh dapat sama sertai pembacaan 50 buah buku atau lebih pada tahun 2012 ini InsyaAllah.
Najibah wrote: "Saya berazam tahun ini mahu baca 7 buku sahaja :) - buku-buku tebal yang sudah lama saya simpan dan mahu baca dengan teliti. Tak ada lagi 50 buku untuk saya tahun ni."kongsi la kat sini kak najibah 7 buku bertuah tu hehe.
Khairul hates the classics so much so i wouldn't dare delve into it in here since this thread is initiated by him..But perhaps military history is OK. I have 2 of them here the first – “The Street Without Joy” by Bernard Fall, whilst the other is “At dawn we Slept,” by Gordon W. PrangeBoth are about military campaigns involving the US.
In the first title the author had a first hand definitive account of the conflict when by 1965 the US was fully involved in the Vietnam war and a decade and a half removed from a military stalemate in the Korean conflict, the US failed to learn from the mistakes of the French that fighting a guerrilla war emphasising armour and mechanised firepower would become a deadly liability.
The street without joy has the distinction of being received favourably both by the soldiers in Vietnam as well as the civilian population protesting the war. The author who would not rest on his laurels went back to Vietnam in 1967, and while accompanying a marine patrol was killed by a Viet-Cong land mine.
In the second title At Dawn We Slept, we are presented with the observation that “ A Japanese attack on Hawaii is regarded as the most unlikely thing in the world with a one chance in a million to being successful”. The book takes us into the chronology of the actual planning of Pearl Harbour and the activities of the master spy T. Yoshikawa 1941. After 37 years researching his subject the author surprisingly met an untimely death.
What a coincidence both authors while examining the history of the US military campaigns where the US were on the losing side met their tragic ends.
Would there be anyone bold enough to write the story on the US led war with the Taliban vis-à-vis from the side of the Al-Qaeda/Taliban perspective. Such a publication is eagerly inticipated...

Could anyone help me !! Plse tell me how to start a discussion thread of me own. l dunno how. I have been tompang-ing Khairul H discussion list all this while, he might not like it.I wish to have me own list of books to be read in 2012, It will just be a modest list of about 30 - 40, at the rate of 2/3 books a month, it's a luxury I can't splurge on much, though...Thanx and Cheers.
Kalau ada sesiapa yg membaca ini boleh tolong kan.

Yang tahun lepas saya dah siap kemas kini. Sila periksa arkib. Tahun ni, kalau nak saya jadi tukang catat kena tunggu bulan 3 la. Sebab betul kata En Khairul, saya cuti dan tak ada Internet :P Bulan 3 baru ada balik di Australia... Alkisahnya.

Saya pun nak tahu buku-bukunya. Buku terpilih pastinya berstatus istimewa :-)
How about changing our target to pages read instead? Sebab dulu ada orang komen, perempuan baca buku nipis-nipis :P
hmm... last year target 50k pages... tp dapat 44k sahaja :(
Ummu Auni wrote: "How about changing our target to pages read instead? Sebab dulu ada orang komen, perempuan baca buku nipis-nipis :P"Ok juga.. saya setuju..
201,200 pages eh? Cuma semua kena rajin update number of pages la pula
Tak ada hal kut nak capai, kat Aidura sahaja dah lebih 50K pages :D
saya tak ada target berapa banyak buku saya nak baca untuk tahun 2012. tahun lepas target nak baca 50 buah buku. tapi tak berjaya. pada penghujung tahun masa saya banyak dihabiskan untuk persediaan peperiksaan. namun pada masa yang sama kena kejar target untuk 50 buah buku juga. tapi ia membuatkan saya bertambah stress sebab nak kejar target sedangkan buku sepatutnya menjadi terapi minda dan tempat saya menghilangkan tekanan dan masalah. at last saya buat keputusan untuk meletakkan prioriti pada peperiksaan dan baca buku bila rasa saya nak baca tanpa memikirkan target 50 saya tu. jadi tahun ini, saya tak mahu letakkan sasaran lagi. saya baca bila masa saya suka dan ada masa (masa tetap saya untuk baca buku masih ada iaitu semasa di dalam bas dan di dalam LRT...) keutamaan saya adalah membaca buku untuk peperiksaan.

Nak kira muka surat pulak ye? Ada panduan tak berapa muka surat yang standard sepatutnya dibaca oleh seseorang tu dalam sehari, seminggu, sebulan dan/atau setahun?
Kak Azzah, saya suka-suka letak. Tak tahu persetujuan orang lain macam mana. Piawaian untuk diri sendiri pun tiada. Lagipun orang lain semua sudah letak bilangan buku. Mungkin 10,000 muka surat seorang?
