Wanted: Reading Buddies Showing 801-850 of 1,786

[Nancy]

I'm sure many of you have read The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer. I've started a couple of chapters but never got to finishing it. I am hoping to find a reading buddy who could help me out by reading this book with me. I plan to start on Feb 1. Thanks.

[K.D.]

Me! Me! Me! Nancy. Oh at last, I finally found someone like you. :)

[Nancy]

Hi, K.D. That's great! I was not really expecting anybody to be interested to read a book as classic/old as the Canterbury. I'm glad you are. So how do we go about this? This is my first time to have a reading buddy. :-D

According to the mechanics, we set the reading pace. I'm using the new modern English prose translation by R.M. Lumiansky. This book has 23 chapters, excluding the General Prologue and Chaucer's Retraction. What version will you be reading?

And what reading schedule would you propose?

[K.D.]

Nance: I do not have the book right now but I am using the latest version. I bought that copy at NBS Clark (there was a 20% off) last year. I checked the editions here at GR and it is not even there yet or maybe nobody cared to put it.

I suggest 1 chapter a day. You can create the thread following the format for the header of the existing ones. You should follow the format for standardization's sake. Sorry, my being OP harhar.

Any version would do really. I guess the gist of the story would be the same. :)

[K.D.]

It will just be the two of us. Unless somebody says he or she is interested. Oh I'm so excited. Finally. Finally.

[Nancy]

Hi again, K.D. I'm cool with one chapter a day. I already created the thread, following the format. I made the thread this early, just in case someone else might be interested to join. Is that okay? I'm excited, too. And yes, finally. Same sentiments. :-)

I read this while I was in college, and I can say it was one of the best books I've read. I hope you enjoy reading it, Kweski! :D

[Krizia Anna]

I'll be reading on Feb. 1, who wants? Kwesi? Its in your to-read...;p

[kwesi 章英狮]

To read? I put it on my wish-list. I wanted to own a copy of that book if you still want to read it with me, I think we have to plan it next month na lang if you want. Hehe.

[kwesi 章英狮]

@Lynai: I had this feeling that I might not like it. Haha. When I was in high school, my friends read most of Joshua Harris's books and they keep on talking about love which I don't have any interest at first place. Haha.

Interesting site on "How to Read Infinite Jest" http://infinitesummer.org/archives/215

From the tips listed on that blog, parang ang saya nya basahin eh. hehehe.

Wala ba talagang gusto maki-buddy sa 'kin para basahin ang Infinite Jest? :P

count me in. para matapos ko na ang siraulong librong yan. LOL

[K.D.]

Maria: Craulo harhar. Lab ko yang book na yan. Ewan ko kung bakit.

H: Good luck sa "Infinite Jest"!!!

[Maria]

KD, siraulo kz hnd ko din alam kung bakit natatawa ako kahit ganon ung libro. LOL

[H]

Wala palang mga masochista dito?? Hahaha. Sige na, malapit na magunaw ang mundo eh!

[K.D.]

Babasahin ko yan kasi 1001 yan pero parang ayaw kitang ka-book buddy. Kasi baka sabihin ni Angus eh inaagaw kita sa kanya. Possessive yon eh.

[H]

Haha I doubt it. I don't think he plans to read that anytime soon.

Oh well..just thought I'd check even though I had a feeling that there wouldn't be any takers. :P

[Angus]

HOY! Sa books lang ako possessive. Pero nabawasan na. Nagbabasa na ako ng books na pinahiram lang sa akin. At saka yung Les Miserables at Pride and Prejudice na binigay ni H for me, I decided to give it to the kids instead. Baka may classics-lover sa kanila.

[K.D.]

Babasahin ko na ito sa March. Aalukin ko si Nancy. :)

[H]

No I don't think I will be reading that in April, kasi I think I will be reading Ulysses in April (gulp!).

Anyway, I was planning for some time during the year, after April if I survive Ulysses, but before the world ends in December :D

Audiobook?? That would be interesting to see..hear...

[Angus]

Ayan oh, why not do it with LS? Or pagsabayin mo ang Ulysses at Infinite Jest. And if you have to choose, I don't mind if you go with the latter. Parang matagal mo na gustong basahin iyan eh. And I don't think anyone reads Ulysses for fun, haha.

[H]

I'll read Ulysses for fun :) It's not like I need to read it for a class or anything. Tama..pagsasabayin ko na lang :P

[Angus]

LOL, I don't know why I'll be reading Ulysses. Not for pure fun, that's a fact.

[H]

I wanna read it so may K ako pag sabihin kong "I didn't like it!" LOL

[K.D.]

Ulysses is fun! Andaming sex scenes! obscene nga ito kaya sya dati banned.

Umaariba ka n naman! FHM yday, ngyn nmn Ulysses !

[kwesi 章英狮]

@Maria: Sige, you're in! Haha.

@KD: Parang di naman halata. Joke lang! Haha. Gusto ko ngang mabasa ang libro ni Bob Ong kasi nagustuhan mo. SO far kasi ikaw ang may pinakamalapit na ratings sa akin pagdating sa mga gawa ni Bob Ong. Hehe.

[Maria]

Kwesi, first Bob Ong mo ito? Nakow, baka hnd kn magbasa ulit ng books nya. LOL

ABNKKBSNPLKo ang pinakagusto kong Bob Ong book.

[kwesi 章英狮]

@Maria: Hindi, ito na ang panghuli kong Bob Ong. Joke lang. Nabasa ko na yung mga unang gawa niya, ito na lang hindi. Hehe. Hindi ko rin nagustuhan yung mga unang gawa niya eh. hehe.

[K.D.]

Maria: I was only trying to convince Angus that "Ulysses" is not a boring novel. :)

Pati ako yata na-convince mo. LOL!

[Angus]

Magbabasa ka na rin ng Ulysses, Chami?

[K.D.]

Maria, book buddies tayo!

Go! Hanap muna ko ng copy.

Chami, i want to try books out of my normal reading genre :)

[kwesi 章英狮]

@Maria: Sige, sige! Sali ka na!

[K.D.]

Kwesi: I'd like to join you but I have no copy of the book. Shamefully, I don't want to buy one.

Is there somebody out there who can lend me a copy of this book?
