Hehehe, thank you K.D. :) I am also looking forward to discussing books with you and learning from you. It's amazing that you've read hundreds of books! I hope to achieve that one day.

Dante: You'll get there if you read in every opportunity. I read when I am in a queue. I read in the toilet. I read before before sleeping. I read before rising from bed in the morning. I read while waiting for the movie to start (you know when they turn off the trailers and the whole movie house is lighted?). I read during lunch breaks. I read before the start of the meeting (when the boss is not around yet). I read before the start of the mass (I read the Bible or other religious books). I've seen myself reading while I'm asleep (I could see the pages and the texts in my dream). I read while I drive (audiobooks).

K.D.,

That's amazing. I'll take that advice.

I also love to listen to audiobooks when I'm driving. I love podcasts, too. I listen to Inside the New York Times Book Review podcast a lot, and some others.

Yes, pwede ka pa nga magpaiwan kay Sir Randy ng wishlist mo eh.

I don't know if you're that girl who bought a book of Anne Rice, and 2 o 3 books, I think.

[K.D.]

Hala, kayo yata ang bagong love team na nagkita sa Cubao. JAYNA! Cute naman. Sa wakas, Jzhun. Natagpuan mo na rin sya.

[Butch]

Hi, everyone! My name is Butch.
I have a habit of starting a book or books then jumping to other ones and then going back and finishing them up. I'm currently reading Michael Lewis, Sarah Vowell, Lee Child, Ilustrado, etc.
I also review books that my daughters want to read.
Thanks to my Nook Color(which allowed me to read on bed in the dark!), I'm able to wrap up books a lot faster nowadays.
My 2 daughters and I have recently made a commitment not to buy any more books (including ebooks and audiobooks) until we're done with all the books in the house.
Which all you guys have made so hard for us to stick to. I keep reading about these great books that you're talking. My to-read list is getting longer and longer. Keep it comin' though. Great reviews! Great discussions! Love it!
Thank you all!

[K.D.]

Yna: Boyfriend not husband, hmmm. Not yet engaged to be married, I hope. Jzhun, you still have a chance! He does not read Anne Rice too so you are compatible ha ha

Butch: I used to be like that too. Start and start. But try to put them in your currently-reading folder here in GR and don't remove the book until you're done. Maybe that will help.

Maria wrote: "ahahaha! no, that's not the context i'm implying. :) balbal term -> ahahaha! natawa ako dito."

So in whatscontextual meaning of "namamangka" in your sentence?

Sige na, say it; as long na hindi siya *censored*. :)

[Maria]

what i meant was pumapapel ka sa mga girls dito :) it's a good thing db, kasi friendly pala ang moderator dito :| hehehe.

Maria wrote: "what i meant was pumapapel ka sa mga girls dito :) it's a good thing db, kasi friendly pala ang moderator dito :| hehehe."

Ahhh, now I get it.
Friendly lang talaga ako (lalo na sa girls).
Pero mas friendly sa girls si PO, talo ko d'yan.
From time to time I'm just kidding and then there are some

[K.D.]

Huwag kang mamangka sa dalawang ilog - ibig sabihin ay huwag kang mambabae.

Sino ang bangka? - kapag naglalaro ng bakrat. ito yong nagbibigay ng baraha sa mga manlalaro. siya rin ang humahamig ng taya ng mga talo at nagdo-doble ng taya kapag siya naman ang tinalo.

[K.D.]

Kaya di alam ni Jzhun ang pagkagamit mo ng bangka, Maria.

Yon namang papel... ewan... I think nanggaling yan doon sa sa salitang nagpapalapad ng papel as in sumisipsip.

So when you say: what i meant was pumapapel ka sa mga girls dito

Na-imagine ko, sumisipsip si Jzhun sa mga girls. ha ha

[K.D.]

O ikaw si Casanova using your tongue and lips to make girls happy ha ha. *slurpee!*

[Rollie]

Hay naku, tatalunin ng Love Story ang haba ng Gone with the Wind and I will retitle it Gone in the End.
Kwento ko na lang (o hindi) sa mga susunod na Meet Up, — becuase this is not the proper forum for our love woes — at nakalimutan ko na ikaw pala ang resident Dr. Love, what with being the romantick guy. Asshuuu!
Ahahaha! :D

[Rollie]

Bwahaha. Natatawa talaga ako sa Dr. Love na yan. Kaya ayuko makipagkita sa'yo. baka asarin mo nanaman ako sa romantic issue na yan. haha

Better yet, write a book about it. Pwede ko ring i-title ang Bastion of the Basted: The Formidable Love Woes of jzhunagev and A Not-to Guide of Courting.

O, ha!
Wuuyyaahhh! *does the Karate chop*

Hehe, jzhun, mukhang hindi pala effective sayo ang Law of Attraction..

Hi Guys,

I'm a newbie when it comes to Goodreads.com. I've just discovered this site and this group while searching for a review of Samantha Sotto's Before Ever After (haven't bought the book yet, what a surprise to find that it was written by a Filipina author!).

What a delight to find a group dedicated to Filipino book lovers :) My love for books started ever since I learned how to read, my room looks more like a library with that strange fixture of a bed in the middle. I'm the only one in my family who reads for reading's sake, the enjoyment of which is properly described as: 'the enlivening of the printed word within the inner landscape of one's imagination'. Most of my coworkers in the IT industry also doesn't seem to share this overt enjoyment of the written word. Alas, reading, for me, has become a solitary pleasure. I think it will be great if that could be transformed into something communal. Simply said, I'm excited to meet fellow pinoys who share the same passion for books :)

Growing up with Choose Your Own Adventure and Hardy Boys books, my immense curiosity has greatly expanded the genres I find delight in: Fantasy, Graphic Novels, Comics, Speculative Fiction, Sci-Fi, YA, Dystopian novels, Autobiographies, Romance, Filipiniana, Philosophy, Psychology, Comparative Religion, Spiritual, Inspirational, Financial, Political and Leadership books, Poetry and Essays. Though chick-lit seems to be my limit.

Nurturing one's reading life seems to be a worthy life-goal, but still it is a practice that is fast fading in our tech-savy world. Anyway, I'm looking forward to joining the discussions here!

Salamat and Godbless:)
