34) The Addams Family: An Evilution

35) A FILM BY SPENCER LUDWIG - I didn't finish this book because it bored me after 50 pages. So does it qualify to be included here? Or only books that we finished reading can be listed here?

Mr Khairul, itu macam tidak aci :D

kalau ada yg masih tidak berstuju saya memasukkan buku no. 35 di atas kerana saya tidak habis membacanya, tidak mengapa. Ada harapan saya akan mencapai lebih 50 buku tahun ni. Jadi kalau tolak satu di atas tu pun, masih lagi boleh diganti dgn buku lain.

47) Shades of Grey: The Road to High Saffron by Jasper Fforde. Apabila masyarakat dibahagikan kepada kasta. Tetapi kasta di Shades of Grey ditentukan melalui kepekaan seseorang melihat warna. Tiada siapa yang boleh melihat keseluruhan spektrum warna. Ada yang boleh lihat biru sahaja, ada yang hanya peka pada hijau dan hero kita hanya boleh lihat merah. Boleh lihat warna ungu? Kasta paling tinggi. Buta warna? Kasta paling rendah.

Apa yg membuat manusia di dalam cerita ini buta warna? Mengapa kebanyakan buku-buku dimusnahkan hingga pustakawan menjaga perpustakaan yang kosong? Kenapa susah sangat nak cari sudu? Mengapa seorang yg buta warna menyamar sebagai seorang kasta Ungu?

Bukan semua soalan dijawab di buku ni sebab ia hanya bahagian pertama dari tiga bahagian. Tapi kalau nak tau....pi baca sendiri le.

I bought 'Tapai' for my father's bday last week. This week I expect kena ganyang habis, sebab orang tua saya very the mainstream no kiri no kanan..!

Hopefully the other book I gave him ('Codename: Renegade', pasal Obama's campaign trail) will appease the jegil mata huaaaaaaa *larriiiiiiiiii!

48) SATU HARI DALAM NERAKA: Penjelasan terperinci dan Realiti (Abu Al-Walid, Ahmad bin Sya'aban. Diterjemah oleh Muhammad Yusuf Sinaga)

Tiada di dalam database GR dan saya belum sempat memasukkan entri. Berhenti dari membaca novel 'De Zoet' sebentar untuk membaca buku agama ini sebab saya perasan saya banyak buku mengenai syurga tetapi hampir tiada buku mengenai neraka yg dijaga malaikat Malik yg tak pernah senyum (tika Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. melawat alam ghaib ni pada malam Isra' Mi'raj pun Malik tak senyum, hanya menjawab salam Nabi dgn muka masam)

[Khairul Hezry, I hate people but not you. You, I like.]

49) The Thousand Autumns of Jacob De Zoet
- started off as a story of corruption in a remote Dutch outpost in Japan, then became a cross-cultural love story (like Madame Butterfly or Miss Saigon) between the Dutch De Zoet and the Japanese Orito and then it became a conspiracy story involving a rape camp, murder, the search for immortality and the race to expose the culprits.

Oh, I would love to see them adapt this for TV.

Bagi 3/5 je la.

62) Read 'The Invisible Man' from this collection: The Time Machine, The Invisible Man, The War of the Worlds.

Probably the weakest of the three stories, famous only for being the first novel about an invisible man that does not involve any magic or hocus pocus. Unlike the adventures in The Time Machine or War of the Worlds, Invisible Man is just about a man, an albino man, who found a way to make himself invisible and is slowly losing his sanity because of it. He uses his ability for evil and mischievous acts like punching the suspicious villagers and stealing their clothes.

It is perhaps the sign of the times that when the invisible man mythos was revisited by Hollywood in the 1990s, they played on the insanity aspect but made him not a thief but a peeping tom and a rapist.

It didn't do anything for me, surprisingly. Found myself skimming the pages instead. Was the inspiration for the Costner movie, No Way Out, which I enjoyed.

Now on to NIGHTMARE ALLEY.
