Hurray! Lists updated:The Bell Jar (Me, K.D., Atty. Lynai, Mae, Tricia. Eavesdropper: Alexa) - thread is up!
The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet (Me, Bennard, Mae, Atty. Monique) - Is Sept 24 a good date?
Anna Karenina (Me, Alexa, Kwesi, Atty. Lynai, Sheila) - October, sa sem break ng mga "kids"
Excited na ako sa mga books na ito. Puro magaganda. Mayroon akong Mitchell kaso parang di pa ako ready for another book by him. Gusto ko ang Cloud at ayaw kong ma-erase yon kung makakabasa ako ng ibang book nya tapos di ko magugustuhan. I know, strange me. :)
KD, malamang sasabihin mo nagrewrite siya, haha. Medyo similar ang Ghostwritten at Cloud Atlas, pero may distinct differences pa rin. At nakakatuwa kasi siyang basahin kasi may mga recurring characters sa bawat nobela.
Exactly, Angus my friend. Kaya ayaw ko munang magbasa ng Mitchell at baka maging Ishiguro lang. Buti pa si Capote. 3 books so far, magkakaiba ang sinasabi at style nya.

Hehe. Regular priced yan. Galing kay Solidaridad (F. Sionil) Bookstore.
Meron pa ba dun? Nagcocollect ako ng Halldor Laxness.
Wala. Isa lang yan sa pagkakatanda ko. Pero yong iba 2 o 3 copies.
Mga Sionil novels? hahaha.Seriously, I cannot remember. They were those books na di rin ako interested.
Hi Kate, sure! The thread is up, check mo na lang sa Buddy Reading folder. :)

Aldrin wrote: "Anyone up for a The Casual Vacancy buddy read beginning Sept. 27 at 3 p.m.? LOL"Onga, I second Bennard's comment... on release date at may indicated time pa ha.
3 p.m. kasi yung lifting ng embargo sa libro. Hehe.
KATE! At bakit alam mo ang aking nakaraan?
^So ikaw nga! XD Kasi ung ate ko may inuwi siyang white book one day when I was in high school called Plumadotcom. Gustung-gusto ko ung essay mo regarding discrimination within the gay society. Grabe, hanggang ngayon nasakin pa rin ung copy at kulay itim na hahaha
Not trying to kiss ass but yeah, I'm a fan lol
Homaygad Kate! I remember that essay, but I can't remember the title? I think I have a copy ... somewhere.[after 5 minutes]
I can't remember it! I thought I posted it on my secret blog (hehe). Looks like it's a plumadotcom exclusive.
BTW, what's the name of your sister? :D
Angus, good thing I already have your autograph...
It's Downe Syndrome (yes, I remember don't ask why!).
You prolly don't know her but it's Veroliean.
hahaha, nahihiya na ako kasi naman eh lol

Miss Louize, it's nothing, they are my early amateur works. Mahihiya ako kapag babasahin ko sila ngayon.Kate, thanks! You just made me realize how important it is to think about what one writes. One will never know who reads what. BTW, what year siya naggraduate?
This year lang siya naggraduate. If I remember correctly it was given to her during their orientation.
Ay, that was published 2008. Matagal-tagal na rin pala. :D
That's why you don't remember the title anymore. XD
I figure I should post it here, too! Aaron and I are planning to read this sometime October:
Possibly around mid-October siguro? Or nearer Halloween just for kicks. Plus if anyone wants to marathon The Monstrumologist series, there's still time so we can read Isle of Blood together. :D Anyone?
(Oh and The Monstrumologist series is PERFECT for Halloween -- it's scary but not too scary. I'm not a fan of horror, but I love this series. :D)
^*raises hand* Me, please? But I only have the first book (my sister's, actually) pa lang. Pero October pa naman so I have time to look and read. :)
Join din ako! I just got my copy of the first book from Tricia, teehee. Sembreak time naman yan so I might be able to catch up! Yey :D
Mae and Blue: yay! Alexa, I can lend you the second book para you can marathon in. :)Isle of Blood in paperback is available in Fully Booked na, Php 360. :)

Yayyyy thank you! Kumusta naman, I'm planning to resume reading Sandman din. Horror galore! Haha. Thank you!! :D
We can start it the week after F2F10? Or do you guys want it to cross over Halloween mismo? :D
Hey Guys, Aldrin and I are going to be reading A Single Man by Christopher Isherwood? Anybody want to join us?:)

I want to, but I can't find a copy: )
HI guys, we're planning to read The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks on the 23rd. you might be interested to join us. :)
Monstrumologist folks (Aaron, Alexa, Mae): When do you guys want to start? Halloween week mismo (Oct 27/28)? There are 44 chapters, but it should be fast reading lang. :)
Okay by me, Tina! Which reminds me, I need to start na 1 & 2. I'll finish by the 27th, I promise. (Aaron, don't worry. I'm sure I'll be able to find a copy of 2 somewhere.) :D
Sure! Mae, pareho pala tayo! Haven't started on the first 2 din, oops. I'll be able to finish by the 27th naman so no worries :)
Mae and Alexa: Okiedokie! Fast reading lang yung dalawa. (Note that it's just fast, not easy. Haha. :D)
