Tama si Kwesi, may mga bagay kaming mga lalaki na kaylan man di maiintindihan ninyong mga babae.

Like bakit ba tinutuli ang lalaki at ano ang significance nyan sa inyong mga babae.

[kwesi 章英狮]

Have you read her book, "Room"? It's quite good.

[kwesi 章英狮]

@H: No. Why? Because most of TFG's here do not like Room. Haha. But I'll read it soon if I have a copy na.

Currently reading Once In A Lifetime Love by Rose Tan and two other books.

Wala lang. Kasi sabi mo you were reading a book by Emma Donoghue, eh yung Room yung sikat na book nya last year. Well..just coz the majority doesn't like it, that doesn't mean you shouldn't read it...or that you wouldn't like it either.

[K.D.]

Oh yes, Kwesi dude. Why don't you read it? It's an okay book except that...

@H: Thanks, don't worry babasahin ko rin yan balang araw. Not now, di ko afford ang brand new. What I mean is, hindi ko pa kayang makonsensya sa bibilhin ko. Playing safe muna. Baka kung may copy na siya sa booksale, bilhin ko na kaagad. Haha.

@KD: Haha. Nabasa ko nga yong review mo eh at about dun sa tuuuut.

Kwesi: Tama. Tinamaan lang ako bilang Pilipino. Sinalaula ang ating lahi. Pede namang walang ganoon. Kainis. :(

It's really unneeded. Imagine just a word!

I appreciate the book for what it is and how it had helped other teens when they come to relate with Charlie.

Tell you what, I've reread The Catcher in the Rye recently and I've come view the book as a love letter to Holden Caufield, or to J. D. Salinger to an extent. :)

Yeah, well it's a coming of age book, so I guess there's a target audience. The thing with coming of age books is, if you're past that age, it's hard to tell whether or not you will like or dislike a particular book if you had read it at a certain age.

For me, the reason why I wasn't crazy about Wallflower was because of its epistolary style. Writers who use epistolary styles, to me, seem like they're choosing the easy way out instead of writing a proper novel.

I dunno...that's just how I feel about it.

[K.D.]

Ayaw kong mag-comment. :)

All right, that explains a lot why you didn't like Dracula, I guess.

But another epistolary novel that I think is good is The Color Purple.

Anyway, bigay mo na lang sa kin yung copy if there's any consolation in that. Haha! :D

Haha..actually I didn't dislike Dracula..I just didn't like it as much as I'd hope.

I haven't read The Color Purple yet.

Hehe, I'm not in the habit of giving away books eh, unless I really HATE it...gusto mo ng copy of The Secret History by Donna Tart or The Magicians by Lev Grossman? hehe.

But don't worry, if I see another bargain copy of Wallflower, I'll buy it for you and make sure you get it...pramis! :)

[Angus]

Whatever style a novelist wants to use, the effect still largely depends on how good he is. Jzhun mentioned The Color Purple. And then there is that one part in Cloud Atlas. These are just two examples of the effective use of the epistles.

By the way, I haven't read The Perks. LOL.

[Apokripos]

The thing why I really enjoyed Perks was because I downloaded pirated Charlie's mixtape, and the songs that he chose really gives you a glimpse of how lonely and sentimental a character he is.

For some time there I know he's naive and all, however it was only after I read some of the reviews of my GR friends that I realized that he's a "special child" (in the Filipino sense of the word and don't lynch me please I'm not that politically correct a person)

Anyway, the point is Logan Lerman's way too good looking to play Charlie. I'm kinda hoping for some average Joe, but there's that so I can't disagree much to that and I'm sort of wary of what I said because fans may get two hemorrhages a-piece if they come to read this.

Hope you have a nice day.

Love,
jzhun

Actually, I did look for that song...Sing me to Sleep..which I really liked.

Logan Lerman is Charlie?? You're right..hindi bagay.

Just want to ask you this man, ain't you whinny growing up; that the world works in way you don't find to your liking?

Anyway, us teenagers are good at that: whining.

To prove my point, just read a GR review written by a teen. He/She'll whine all the way how the book he/she has read sucked big time.

I have an awful lot of questions too about the book. Like why didn't he slept with uhhmm, when he could've when uhmmm was willing enough. I think that's pivotal to the book and shows Charlie's emotional development of sorts, that he's maturing and all.
But at the certain point in the book undermines it all.

Well there's that.

And Arnel man, tell you what: I love Ernest Hemingway. He rocked my world in no way Holden did.

Love,
jzhun

“In all judgements by which we describe anything as beautiful [or ugly for that matter], we allow no one to be of another opinion.”

—Emmanuel Kant from Critique of Judgement

"It’s a basic but still weird fact about books that two people’s experiences of the same book can be radically different but equally valid. On the face of it it doesn’t seem possible. When we read a book and find that it sucks, that doesn’t feel like a personal judgment on our part, it feels like an observed fact that everybody else who reads that book should acknowledge — and if they don’t acknowledge it, that means that they suck. It goes against our instincts as a reader that two people can have opposite reactions to a book, and that both reactions can be true."

I just find this relevant...

Waley lang... Haha! :D
