Wanted: Reading Buddies Showing 601-650 of 1,786

[Angus]

Sunget? Hahaha

[K.D.]

Ha ha. Anober, ganun lang talaga ako. I'd rather spend time reading books na di ko pa nabasa ha ha. May 1,200 physical books ako sa tbr ha ha. Ayoko nang bumalik sa mga nabasa ko at na-review ko na. Kaya normally di na rin ako nakiki-argue sa mga matagal ko nang nabasa. Alukin mo na lang ako as buddy-read pero ayoko ng eavesdropper. Hindi ako credible.

[Angus]

Hahaha, super explain ka naman Kuya! Kasi yung sa Middlesex nagulat ako at O.E. ako out of nowhere. Baka kasi mahulog ka sa upuan mo kapag bigla kong nilagay yun ng walang abiso. :D

Tina, I'm reading the book na. Gawd, why did I not read this earlier? It's good. But I'll be more than happy to join you on the Q&A in October, if you'll have me. :)

[Ariel]

Yes! Join us Louize. :)

What are the rules again for the buddy-read for this one? Sa blogs magpopost ng notes right? :)

[Ariel]

@Monique: We would review it all at the same time. For example, this week we would be reading chapters 1-5 for three days. After that Tina would give us questions to answer and we will be posting it all at the same time on friday linking each others review about the said chapter. Rules talaga atty.? hehehe. :) Tina says that we could start with this on Oct. 1st week.

[K.D.]

Ay bago yan. Let me know kung successful at nang magaya ha ha!

[Angus]

Sounds like a blog-based buddy read to me, with the Q&A portion. I guess the questions will sound like the ones on those reading group guides found at the back of some books.

I'd like to join, but I don't know the book (hehe), and I'm trying to finish my last dozen of books for 2011.

[Ariel]

@K.D.: You can join us if you want! May e-book copy c Aldrin nung book. Finorward nya sa akin. I can e-mail you a copy of A Monster Calls. :) I know may tumblr ka kuya. hehehe

[Ariel]

@Angus, If you want to join, we could provide an e-book copy. :)

[Monique]

Si Kuya Doni, may tumblr??? html pleeease! Haha!

Ariel and Tina, maybe I can join if it's just light reading. I'll let you know next week because Angus and I are reading Gone With The Wind also on October. :)

[Angus]

A. Monique: Private daw Tumblr ni Kuya, haha. Baka raw kasi malapastangan.

Ariel: I'll pass muna. I'd like to focus on Gone with the Wind. I hope there's a next time though, :)

[Ariel]

@Monique and Angus: Ok. :)

[K.D.]

Ayoko na. Pinagtatawanan ni Monique ang tumblr ko ha ha. Ginawan lang ako ng anak ko at andoon ang mga reviews ng 1001 books ko ha ha. Pang-back up lang pag nawala ang GR haha. Pero ayaw di ko kayang magpupunta roon dahil sa GR lang ubos na oras ko ha ha.

Ariel: Pass na lang muna. Reason ko talaga eh ayaw ko ng e-book. I tried once, masakit sa mata. I tried printing it on coupon bond na duplex (kabilaan) eh di maganda ang text tapos nawawatak-watak ang mga pages ko ha ha. Sakit sa ulo. Pagyaman ko, bibili ako ng Kindle para makasali ako sa inyo ha ha!

[Ariel]

@KD: Nyaks, wala din akong kindle. Pang rich lang yun kuya. hehehe :P Sa PC lang office ko binabasa. :))

[K.D.]

Onga. Di natin afford yon ha ha. Pala-ipon tayo dapat parang si Maria ha ha.

[Maria]

aba at bigla akong nabanggit sa thread na ito. :)

Pero ung Kindle ko, christmas gift ni hubby saken last year =) kaya napapa-iling sya pag nauwi ako galing office na bitbit ang isang bag na books na binili ko either sa NBS o Fully Booked. Kaya nga nag-Kindle eh, para makatipid, sabi nya. LOL

[K.D.]

Onga. Mukha ngang mas tipid ang Kindle. Kaso marami na akong libro. Yong totoong libro. Di ko akalain, binabasa mo rin ang thread na ito ha ha.

[Maria]

nahagip ko lang sa update feed, eh nakita ung name ko :)

[Tina]

Kuya Doni: di bale, Christmas gift ko na sayo ang A Monster Calls. :D

Monique: Light reading = if you mean the writing, yes. :D Themes, not so much. Haha. It's not really fantasy though, so no heavy world building. :)

Ariel: Excited ka lang talaga diba. Haha. I have a week to prepare the questions, sige mag reread na ko. :P

[K.D.]

Tina: Wag! Hihiram na lang ako kung sinong meron. Parang di ko rin itatago yan. Sayang lang. Bigyan mo na lang ako ng isang religious/spiritual/inspirational book. Ayaw kong magtago ng fantasy book kasi walang hilig ang anak ko dyan. Walang babasa. Naninilaw lang. Eh pag regalo sa akin, di ko pinapamigay.

Aw Kuya. But it's not really fantasy, may monster lang. :D I think you'd really, really like it.

Or, ipapa-prize ko na lang sya sa Christmas party. Para merong malaking book na at stake again. Haha. :D

Friends participating in A Monster Calls, I will start the thread soon! I'm re-reading it na, and we'll have questions, etc etc ready before this week ends. :D

[Ariel]

@Tina: :D

Anybody interested in reading "An Infinite Jest" by David Foster Wallace? I've always wanted to read it and tried a few times but it's just so long....I'm thinking the only way I can get through it is if I read it with other people....

[Angus]

Wow, that's a huge brick. I don't have a copy of that yet.

[H]

Hahaha...I know! I would say it's probably as complicated as Ulysses...well, maybe not, but close.

[Angus]

I am not sure, but I've read somewhere that it should have been entitled Infinite Footnotes, hahaha. Regarding Ulysses, when do you want to start? Gulp.

[Aldrin]

I hope you two aren't starting soon since I've just flipped to page 1 of 944 of 1Q84. Haha.

Mas updated si Salman Rushdie. Nagsulat pa ng limerick:

The marriage of poor kim #kardashian was krushed like a kar in a krashian / her kris kried, not fair! why kan't I keep my share? / But kardashian fell klean outa fashian.

Oo nga! Gulat ko na lang when I read that this morning on Twitter. I don't know, but maybe Kim Kardashian might be one of the Midnight Children, that's why Rushdie's keeping track of her life .
