I tend to read a few chapters of 2 different books everyday, and I only read Graceling during the weekends. All of my current reads are surprisingly GOOD, with Graceling probably relatively the weakest. I just started Life of Pi today even though it's been in my TBR pile for months and I didn't expect to like it much, but 90 pages in and I'm enjoying it a LOT ^_^







I tend to read a few chapters of ..."
Ey tintin, so far, how do you find Life of Pi? someone gave it to me, and i want to know if I should move it up in my TBR list.

I like it a lot so far, but it may not be to everyone's taste. It's about an Indian boy with multiple faiths (Hindu, Christian, and Muslim but predominantly from a Hindu perspective as he was born in India). It's a very thoughtful book, and not one I can neatly peg down to a specific genre (literary maybe?). I think it takes an open mind to fully appreciate it, as we know a lot of people are very sensitive about their faith and beliefs. I have yet to find something I hate about the story, but then I'm only a quarter into it so I can't make a complete judgement yet :)



It's like you if you pick say a classic foreign book like Elias Canetti's Auto-da-Fe. Magre-react ako bigla ha ha.

Lyle try to read My Sister's Keeper and Nineteen Minutes, maganda mga books ni Picoult parang mix ng drama, ethics and legalities, very informative din dami ka matutunan.

Maganda nga raw ang Jodi Piccoult. Buti nga nanalo yon. Next year ko na babasahin. I tried My Sister's Keeper before. Na-dramahan ako. Umpisa pa lang batang babae denemanda ang mga magulang nya. Huh? Okay. Fine. *closed the book* Kinabukasan *handed out the book back to the officemate* Nagustuhan mo? "Oh hum..."
