Paul wrote: "Currently reading Orwell's negative utopia of 1984"hello. im a newbie. i am interested to read that book, maganda ba?
Susan,Overall, I like 1984. I like the story because it kept me engaged enough. However, the book also talks about some sociological and philosophical issues not only because they coincide with the story, they also give us an insight of Orwell's perspective. Happy reading.
Currently reading Divergent, Not because it is mainstream but because of my reading buddy. LOL.Hello everyone! I'm new here!
Currently reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I can't really say anything about it right now since I just started. I'm still on the 7th page. haha. :)
I'm currently reading Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. *Eye rolls* I'm reading it because I was sorta tricked into buying but in all fairness, I thought it was going to be another Madame Bovary but truly its more than that. I think I'm actually beginning to like it. Hmm.
Hi everyone! I am new in goodreads. :) I just read The Virgin's Guide to Misbehaving
I am currently reading Eleanor & Park
Have a nice day! :)
>>>>>> "The Well" try ko lang kung maganda:)
edit lang kc baka mali grammar ko sorryXD
I'm currently marathoning The Maze Runner and it's prequel. I'm now on the second one The Scorch Trials. The first book was heart pounding and it really rocked my world. I would not find myself living in this type of DYSTOPIA. It's really a page turner but i think I did not find any growth on Thomas's character. Hoping to see it in the third book The Death Cure. I started reading it 'coz it's movie version is showing on september. Besides it's very rare nowadays to find a HERO(male protagonist) in DYSTOPIAN novels. Most DYSTOPIAN novels that we have right now are stories about HEROINES(female protagonists) that became so dominion and powerful along the story.
AFTER I'M DONE READING THE MAZE RUNNER, I'LL READ The Eye of Minds. ANOTHER JAMES DASHNER NOVEL.
Right now six chapters into The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle.Murakami's style of storytelling unfolds at such a pace and with a certain beat/rhythm that reading it feels so serene and relaxing. Excellent for a cool, quiet morning or a rainy day. And he has this way of making the most mundane situations more interesting and relateable than they usually are.
So I'm enjoying this so far.

Before this, I finished re-reading The Giver last week.
======
And for August, I'll be reading Fear of Flying (for this group's discussions) and The Name of the Wind for another group's August discussions :)
The Crossroads by Chris Grabenstein
..........now
..........now
past half for this month's Discussion of Erica Jong's work
, half-dead reading Miller's
another half-dead reading Hugo's
and just starting with Kundera's
I hope I can finish with all these books this month. hahaha
I've just started the second book in the "Gentleman Bastard" series entitled "Red Seas Under Red Skies" and already loving every page. Lynch really is such an amazing writer. I highly recommend the first book, "The Lies of Locke Lamora." It can be a bit difficult to find, though, but I suggest for those interested to try Fully Booked for a copy. (I desperately want more people to read this so I can have someone to fangirl with, haha!)

Have fun reading and do let us know what you think of Book 2. Cheers!["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>

Waaahhh I've been waiting for someone to reply to my message! Hi1 Nice to meet you, Ycel! :D :D
The prologue alone was intriguing like hell, and the drama in the first reminiscence chapter made me teary-eyed. Too many JeanLocke feels it's crazy! Hopefully you'll get to start reading it very soon. :)
RAKKEL: I'll try to line up Red Seas Under Red Skies as soon as possible. I want to fast track meeting Sabetha so I have to read Book 2 stat. Hopefully I can join you for Book 3 if life does not get in the way :)
