Really? I haven't started the first book yet. Is it good?

I feel the same way. The story did not move the way I expect to, nasanay ako na fast-paced 'yung series e.
I hope Warlock will pick up.

Whew! After 10 days, finally done reading Ilustrado: A Novel by Miguel Syjuco

Currently reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee in celebration of the book's 50th Anniversary since its publication.

The first few pages are light and fun read as we enter the life of precocious Scout Finch’s early capers with his brother Jem and friend Dill, all the while subtly building the themes that will underscore the novel later.

I was amused to find that in Chap. 3 of the book there's an incident when Ms. Caroline, Scout's teacher, squealed in fright when she saw a head lice on one of her students. And know what, they call it "cootie." Now this got me thinking, is the Southern slang "cootie" in any way the etymological root word of our Filipino term "kuto"? I don't know but there seems to be some semblance to it. What do you think?

Could it be that cutie is not from cute but cootie, too? "

Yeah, I'm also thinking along those lines...

Ehehehe... :D

haha, oo nga no. Cooties does sound like kuto.
I loved To Kill A Mockingbrd too, both the book and the movie. What really gets me the most though is Scout's neighbor, whose loosely based on lee's childhood friend & further author Truman Capote. Its fun seeing glimpses of how they were as kids and then comparing that to what they've become. ehehehe

Hi Maryse!

In a way Dill is perhaps a reference to a young Capote. Those that mean that when Truman was a child he promised that he'll marry Harper?
But the vicissitudes prevented that as we've seen from Capote's sexual orientation...

Ehehehe... :D

Naku maganda ang To Kill a Mockingbird. Yun na lang. I just read that.

@Faye: Read the Alchemyst by Michael Scott. You won't regret it. An action-packed novel intertwined w/ history (people, places and events).

[Aaron Vincent]

[Apokripos]

Currently reading Cujo by Stephen King, just because I need my horror fix.

[Mina]

Now reading Unaccustomed Earth (book) and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (on PDA). Finding the former a bit too leisurely, pero baka am just not in the right mood for it.

[Joyzi]

I'm currently reading Judith McNaught novels (historical romance genre) and then I'm excited because I'm planning to pre-order Mockingjay

[Aaron Vincent]

Hey Aaron, Mockingjay na!! :)

[Aaron Vincent]

Yep yep. I am reading the best books I can find this month so I won't dread counting the days before it comes out.

Your brother loves YA??? Invite him hear!! It is quite rare, as far as I know, for boys to read YA..especially here in the Philippines. I have a lot of friends that reads YA but they are all from the US and Aus.

Hear hear. It's hard to find boys who read books for fun, period. At least, in my circle of friends before I met you guys. :)

On topic: currently re-reading Catching Fire for a review and in preparation for Mockingjay. I forgot how intense this book is.

Looking for a lighter book to read together with this one, though. Choosing between Looking for Alaska by John Green or Audrey Wait! by Robin Benway.

[Aaron Vincent]

I can recommend Looking for Alaska. I love that book. Alaska Young is one unforgettable character.

okay, so im finished now with Ballad, and i decided to go with jzhunagev's suggestion na to read To Kill a Mockngbird. im very interested to read this book, the fact that as per GR's members worldwide, it tops the list of the best books of all time.

plus, im adding Ender's Game to my top 5 to read next (that is, assuming, i finish Harper Lee's book BEFORE Mockingjay comes out.) ^_^
