Tama, Tricia. Tas parang copy cat ng Watchmen plus the local flavor. Well, siguro nga naroon sa susunod na books (kung meron man) ang action. I am still hoping na mag-adjust si Fabregas ayon sa feedbacks ng readers nya.

[Tricia]

@KD: kaya niya lang naman nagawa yun kasi readers are looking for a Justice League-type of local comics. Meron kasing narelease before para maging TV series pero napostpone kaya medyo nadisappoint yung fans (or comic/superhero fans). I'm not the biggest fan of the comics pero for me wala talagang story yung book1. Parang ewan lang. Kung meron man, putol naman for the 2nd book. (Yep, there'll be a second book but IDK when irelease kasi dapat this summer siya irelease).

[K.D.]

Hay, salamat. May next book. I will still be interested to buy and read it. Kawawa naman ang local comics cartoonist kung di ipa-patronize. :)
Tsaka siguro mas maganda di na lang sya ang mag-drowing kasi walang guwapo sa mga characters nya. Mas maganda pa hitsura ni Trese!

Na-miss ko tuloy si ZsaZsa Zaturnah. So far, pinakamagandang mag-drowing si Vergara. Punong-puno ng boobs!!! hak hak.

I'm a fourth of the way in but I'm getting kind of bored with it already. Hopefully it gets better soon. I liked kasi the first book in the series (Labyrinth) and thought this was a continuation pero parang hindi pala.

[ THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT. I AM POSTING THIS MERELY TO MAXIMIZE READ COUNT. ]

Hello there!

This is DC. I'll be moderating the book discussion for TFG's October book-of-the-month.

In case you're not aware of it, the group talks about one book each month, taken from the TFG's Top 100 list, as may be seen HERE . This discussion (online and face-to-face) allows the members of the group to explore different books - effectively spreading the word that there ARE great books that may lie outside your preferred genre!

(By the way, our current book of discussion is The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro. You may find the current discussion for this book HERE .)

Now, I'd like to ask for your help in choosing the book for October (seeing as the months prior to that already have a set book, as you may see HERE ). Our theme for that month would be relating to Women and Classics. The choices are as follows:

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE by Jane Austen


THE SECRET GARDEN by Frances Hodgson Burnett


LITTLE WOMEN by Louisa May Alcott


Right now, the set book for October is Pride and Prejudice . It's not too late, though! You can still change this by voting on our poll HERE . (We need around 180 members to VOTE in order to change this.)

Is there a book among the three that seems challenging or different from what you're reading right now? Maybe you've thought of reading one of these, but haven't actually pushed through with it? If so - VOTE for it, and maybe you'll end up reading it in October! Your voice counts! (Oh, and please note that the poll ends by July 7.)

"A single grain of rice can tip the scale. One man may be the difference between victory and defeat."

I sincerely hope to see your participation in this endeavor :) Thank you very much for reading this, and may you all have a great day!

Cheers!

-DC

i tried reading fifty shades of grey and i dont know whats so special about it. If people are looking good eroticas gena showalter's books are way better than this in my opinion.

i enjoyed it probably because i wasn't expecting anything... i wasn't looking for erotica, i just read it because people were talking about it and wanted to know what the fuss was all about... it's not realistic, it's not the best as far as writing is concerned... it just is... =)

[Sandee is Reading]

all those chains and pleasure toys that christian has scared me! Hahaha. Maybe thats why i didnt enjoy it that much. Hahaha

the idea spooked me at first... but, he didn't really use them, it was merely mentioned in the story so i was okay with it... =)

[Sandee is Reading]

good thing he didnt! :p thats just soooo... Weird. :p

Sandee (loves Ash Tallyn) wrote: "good thing he didnt! :p thats just soooo... Weird. :p"

ikr, since i'm not really into erotica... my officemates were like swooning over Christian and found out i loved to read... i wasn't backing out on a challenge to read something new and outside my comfort zone... so i did... =)

[Sandee is Reading]

hehe. :) do you like mythology too? Try the Lords of the Underworld. Seriously good. Something you'd want to read if you really want to get out of your comfort zone. :)

[Angel / YA rules!/]

yea, love mythology... i'll defnitely look that up... i'm waiting for my kane chronicles to arrive... =) that's way up in my comfort zone... oohh, now i know what you mean, it's some sort of guilty pleasure...

[Sandee is Reading]

yeah hehehe. :) it is.

Kane chronicles is from Rick Riordan too right?

I'm 3/4 in The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich and a couple of questions entered my mind: How do Germans teach history to their children in school? How do they tell them that their country was responsible for millions of innocent deaths and for causing a worldwide pandemonium?

i'm not sure how they teach it in school but a German friend told me that they consider it an embarrassment and are not proud of what happened.
