Ahahaha! :D

I already read the book na, eh...


message 321: by Angus (new)

Angus (angusmiranda) | 4337 comments Hmm, next week, I want to read either

number9dream by David Mitchell or Black Swan Green by David Mitchell .

Any takers? :D


message 322: by Krizia Anna (new)

Krizia Anna (krizia_lazaro) | 520 comments after Carrie, I will read "A Tale of Two Cities" who wants?


message 323: by K.D. (new)

K.D. Absolutely (oldkd) | 6065 comments ANGUS: I have those but I don't think I have energy to read in the Reading Buddy style ha ha. I have been a lousy buddy since "Cloud Atlas"

Typing my thoughts per chapter... it just slows me down. I have my 2011 Reading Challenge, that's why.

When I am 5-10 books ahead, I'll read with you again.

KRIZIA: I read that Dickens before and have no intention of reading it again. The book that I want to read of him is Our Mutual Friend. I have my copy for a couple of years now.


Tuklas Pahina (TP) | 1191 comments krizia naghanap nko sa BS Virra mall, shopesville, cubao wala me makita Carrie book?


message 325: by Angus (new)

Angus (angusmiranda) | 4337 comments KD: Sa Cloud Atlas lang ba? Pati yata sa The Heart is a Lonely Hunter eh, hahaha. Kidding. Ayos lang naman. I read faster without a buddy, but it takes away the excitement of having someone to rant and rave with.

I'll only be re-reading it... di ko natapos kasi before, boring. My favorite Dickens' is "Great Expectations"

It's okay, I'll just read by myself :)

K.D. Absolutely (oldkd) | 6065 comments ANGUS: Sabi ko nga "since Cloud Atlas"
So I was not a good reading buddy in Ilustrado, Heart is a Lonely Hunter and Watership Down. Nobody's perfect ha ha.
But I did my best sa Saramago, De Laclos, Murakami, Atwood. My favorite pa rin is Atwood. For me that was the model reading buddy setup so far.

I will just finish Watership Down, then we can read together again. Speaking of raving and ranting, I think we need to focus more on the reactions and thoughts instead of summarizing the chapters. I just eats a lot of time especially since I type my comments here in the office and it will become obvious if I have a book in front of me ha ha. I tend to forget the names of the characters when I read. So, sometimes my chapter summary seems not too polished like yours ha ha!

K.D. Absolutely (oldkd) | 6065 comments Yesterday, during the mini-meetup. Sheryl and I were thinking of reading together A PRAYER FOR OWEN MEANY by John Irving. Another depressing book. But this will be after next week. Anybody who'd like to join us? Weeping time again!


message 330: by Angus (new)

Angus (angusmiranda) | 4337 comments KD: Yep, I prefer the reactions and discussions. I actually think it's not really necessary to give summaries. Nahihiya lang akong sabihin noon kasi yun ang initial trending, tsaka newbie pa lang ako nun, hehehe. Not so newbie na ako eh, o sadyang makapal lang talaga ang mukha ko?? Summaries can be provided for clarification siguro.

John Irving? I'd like to read his The World According to Garp, but my copy is still in Baguio.


message 331: by Sheryl (new)

Sheryl | 238 comments @KD and Angus: I'm okay with either of Irving's book, whichever you guys decide. Just inform me of the schedule ahead of time. :) Am not very good with putting my thoughts into words but I'll try my best. :D


message 332: by K.D. (new)

K.D. Absolutely (oldkd) | 6065 comments SHERYL: On Monday, May 30, Angus and I will start our Jennifer Egan's A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan
A VISIT FROM THE GOON SQUAD

Siguro, 1 book at a time na lang muna. Want to join us? I got my copy from Powerbooks Mega kahapong lunch. Meron pa silang copies.

Looks interesting. Curious about the powerpoint chapter. I'll join you guys if I get a copy of the book by the 30th.:)


message 335: by Angus (new)

Angus (angusmiranda) | 4337 comments Uy KD! Wala pa akong copy nito, baka sa June na ako bumili. Sobrang dami na yata ng nabili kong books this weekend.


message 336: by K.D. (new)

K.D. Absolutely (oldkd) | 6065 comments ANGUS: Sige, let's see on the 30th. I will move it to a later date if you are not yet ready.


message 337: by [deleted user] (new)

Jenny and I will read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand any takers?


message 338: by kwesi 章英狮 (new)

kwesi 章英狮 (kwesifriends) | 2752 comments Butter, kung gusto mo sa June na lang tayu magbasa ng Middlesex.


message 339: by K.D. (new)

K.D. Absolutely (oldkd) | 6065 comments WILLIAM: That's very tempting. When are you going to start?

BUTTER: If it will be sometime in the middle of June, I will also join you.

I was just talking about this book during the recent mini meet up. That's a hefty one.


message 341: by K.D. (new)

K.D. Absolutely (oldkd) | 6065 comments JZHUN: Yes I have that book for more than 10 years now. It is starting to get moldy ha ha! So, I guess it is about the right time to finally read it.


message 342: by [deleted user] (new)

we started reading it na. :)


message 343: by K.D. (new)

K.D. Absolutely (oldkd) | 6065 comments WILLIAM: That's fine with me. Then I have to wait for another reading buddy ha ha. Good luck! :)


message 344: by Ben (new)

Ben (bentraje) | 57 comments @Kwesi and K.D.

Oki Oki. Sa June nalang din ako magbabasa nito. :]


message 345: by Ben (new)

Ben (bentraje) | 57 comments Excited rin kac akong bumasa nang "Beauty Queens"
by Libba Bray

Inaabangan ko last month pa hihi


message 346: by Angus (new)

Angus (angusmiranda) | 4337 comments Sabi nila you should read The Fountainhead first before Atlas Shrugged. Si author pala ang nagsabi nun.

Yep. Para may introduction ka daw sa philosophy niya na Objectivism... or so I heard...


message 348: by Angus (new)

Angus (angusmiranda) | 4337 comments Tsaka yung mga questions mo raw sa The Fountainhead masasagot daw sa Atlas Shrugged. Mukha pa namang boring magsulat si Ate, hehe.


message 349: by K.D. (new)

K.D. Absolutely (oldkd) | 6065 comments ANGUS: Boring nga. Mahaba tapos yon lang pala ang punto. Nabasa ko na ang "Fountainhead" dahil si Ayn Rand yata ang paborito ng babaeng teacher ko sa college. Tapos binasa ko na rin ang "We the Living." Binili ko yong "Atlas Shrugged" pero di ko na nagawang umpisahan man lang dahil napako na ako sa "War and Peace" ni Tolstoy.
