Nice books, Bennard! I've read 4 and 5. Postponing In Cold Blood for a few more months (it MIGHT be selected as a future book-of-the-month). Don't have 1 and 2, but I'll be starting Kavalier and Clay in a few days.

Angus: Try mo nga yong books ni Bennard. If you float around your cursor sa book, walang lumalabas na title. Pero yong ibang nag-post, meron. har har.Interesado ako sa Chabon kung "Cavalier and Clay." Pero sobrang dami kong tanggap na labada nowadays har har. May Po at "Red Dragon" pa akong tinanggap today har har.
KD: Wala eh, narecognize ko lang yung books by cover. Backlog ko yung Kavalier and Clay for Feb, kaya malamang mamadaliin ko yun. Mukhang matatapos ko na kasi yung current read ko. Nagiging OC ako sa reading plans, hahaha.
LS: That's Jose Saramago's Death with Interruptions. Maganda iyan. The first Saramago book I have ever read and the reason I am completing his works. :D
Bennard: Thanks. "The Road" pala yon! harharI read na #3 and #4.
#5 - I have a copy of that but it is not his 1001 book so di ko pa gustong basahin.
Chabon - "Kavalier and Clay" talaga ang gusto kong basahin.
Kaya, sorry. Next list mo siguro, meron na tayo :)

sige, we'll take note of that haha
Sige nga, pili tayo ng librong ma-emo. Tas mag-organize tayo ng special F2F (one night only) hahahahaDapat yong libro parang personal na suicidal yong karakter. Parang "The Bell Jar" tapos parang mga existential questions ang topics. Yong tipong "bakit ba ako narito sa mundong ito?" o di kaya yong parang "bakit parang walang nagmamahal sa akin?"
Yon ang mga questions during the discussion. Pulos mga philosophical at personal hahahaha.
Parang wala akong alam na ganyan except: Veronika Decides to Die at The Bell Jar hahahaha. Hindi kaya ako authority sa ganyang mga books hahahaha.Kelan natin gagawin? Beer ang lalaklakin natin at hindi kape hahahaha. Dapat "For Adults Only" ang F2F na ito. Di pede ang students pa at under 21.
Parang mas trip ko 'yong Bell Jar. Kasi di biro 'yong depression ni Sylvia Latorre. Ay! Si Sylvia Plath pala!
At ilalagay ko sa to-read ang The Bell Jar, dahil depressing suicidal ang character niya. :P Interesting!

Kayo bahala kung ipupursue ang emo f2f. Nasa TBR ko ang naman ang mga nasuggest nyo. Ok din ba yung extremely loud and incredibly close dito? Yun yung pinanood namin sheryl last tym.nakakaiyak sya haha
Cary: Di mo siguro magugustuhan ang book. Mabagal ang pacing. Yong movie, mabilis eh. Ayan na naman ako. Baka sumagot dito si Arnel at maniwala ka hahahaha.Rollie: Like what? Mag-group suicide tayo hahahaha.
