When a lot of people in my country made a lot of fuss to forbid communism, I couldn't quite understand why. They simply said because it's bad, and evil. No further question please.
I always think that everything has good and evil side, so.. so does communism. Then I read the book and I had the opportunity to see different faces of communism. The way Jung Chang describe it it give shriver to my spine.
It's truly is an enlightening experience to feel a small pinch of her sufferring and celebration all the way through the pages of the book....less

"Up to page 19, this the 5th vampire chronicles i read so far. So confusing in the beginning, like all of Rice's book. Usually after the first 50 pages, you'll used to it and notice what the book was all about.

I started read this years ago and still reading it daily. I wonder when will I finish it? (Perhaps never) I find hope and inpsiration in this book, but also sadness and anger---huge mix od emotional experiences.
The book I'm reading now is Micah. You see, I was watching Heroes and realized that some of the character's names come straight from the Bible (and what they do in the Bible). For instance the Noah character is very Noah...
The Micah character is so, well, to tell you the truth I dont know what the original Micah did......less

Berawal dari keisengan menggeledah rak buku teman, dan membaca sambil menghabiskan suguhan... eh nggak tahunya buku ini malah dihibahkan beneran.
Kesimpulannya... cinta itu ngak pernah sederhana. Kalo sederhana mungkin imbasnya juga ga sedahsyat itu ya...
Berharga lah... buat diperjuangkan, disembunyikan, dipikirkan......less
