What new books have you bought recently?

[Rebecca]

I wanted to get a copy of Apabila Alam Berbicara by Rozais al-Anamy since it came out a couple of months ago but had been procrastinating.

Then I met her in Rumah PENA this morning. Fortunately she was carrying some copies so I got (I mean bought, I don't ask for free books) one with her autograph. Woot!

pening sbb realisme magis murakami, nak faham apa makna tanda2 yg ditemui kafka sepanjang pengembaraannya.

ya, saya juga ada blind willow, sleeping woman. cuma baca satu dua cerpen pertama, ingat nak cari satu masa utk habiskan kumpulan cerpen murakami tu.

juga ada beli underground - yg mungkin lebih selesa kpd pembaca berlatarkan jurnalis atau yg berminat ttg psikologi selepas trauma dr insiden besar termasuk insiden gas sarin yg dilepaskan kumpulan pelampau jepun.

It is not about if solat is truly beneficial, no sir, that's is already proven and unquestionable. But it focuses on how the right ways of performing the solat can optimize its benefits. For instance, how congregational prayers are better than praying alone, and do you know that the simple act of folding our toes during the prostration could reduce the risks of strokes and heart-related diseases? Even the simple ritual of takmaninah can put one's in a balanced mental state!

The book explained the scientific methodologies on how the benefits are measured and concluded from. I haven't finished it, and there are some methods/classifications that I'm not so sure about but will share about that later.

[Suzainur]

1. Richard Kadrey's Sandman Slim
2. Loretta Chase's Last Night's Scandal
3. Carrie Vaughn's Kitt Goes to Washington.

Richard Kadrey menulis urban fantasy menggunakan genre noir; ganas, menarik dan penuh sinis.

Loretta Chase adalah penulis genre historical romance (kisah cinta bersejarah? *sengih*) yang saya gemari; watak2 beliau tidak klise dan mempunyai jalan cerita yang menarik. Gaya bahasa beliau juga menghiburkan dan sesuai dengan genre penulisan; tiada yang lebih menggeramkan daripada penulis historical romance yang menggunakan bahasa yang terang2an moden.

Carrie Vaughn menulis siri Kitty Norville, seorang DJ radio rancangan tengah malam yang juga seorang serigala jadian. Beliau memberi nasihat kepada raksasa2 igauan ngeri seperti vampir dan pelbagai lagi makhluk jadian di Denver, Colorado. Ini merupakan buku kedua dalam siri berkenaan di mana Kitty diminta ke Washington DC untuk memberi penerangan berkenaan makhluk jadian di hadapan jawatankuasa Dewan Senat Amerika Syarikat.

Don't you just hate it when you buy a book, by an author you recently discovered you like, and then once home realise it's the FIFTH book in a series?

Hhhrrmmmph. Went to Bookxcess to get kiddie books for gifts, tapi (mcm tak biasa) ternampak Bernard Cornwell's The Burning Land, sungguhlah excited esp bila realised it was only rm5. NOTHING in the book said it was part of a series. Heh. Sakitnya jiwa ku....

Dunia Sofie tentunya lebih menarik dari 'Alex adalah Zul'. Memperkenalkan Socrates dan falsafahnya dengan mudah. Bukan sekadar mendakwa Socrates adalah Luqman!
