Angus (angusmiranda) | 4337 comments Kwesi: Meron na! I PM ko sa iyo. Yung iba tinatanggal ko para sa book of the month. Tulad ng LOTR 1, sigurado magbabawas ako ng 1 for June kasi medyo makapal yun.

message 138: by kwesi 章英狮 (new)

kwesi 章英狮 (kwesifriends) | 2752 comments Ngek! Sige Table Tennis, kahit anong racket sport carry ko. Bwahaha. Carry ko lang tumakbo.


message 139: by Gail (new)

Gail (nighting-gail) | 26 comments ^Wala akong carry sa kahit anong sport na sinasabi niyo, gora lang. XD

April TBR books (don't know how and am too lazy to post cover pictures so I'll list them):
1. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
2. 1984 by George Orwell
3. Lord of the Rings (seen the movies, wanted to read the books too, so..)
4. Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan
5. The Night Circus by Eric Morgensten (author check?)

And I'm afraid that if I pile up more books, I'll end up reading them all at the same time.


message 140: by Angus (new)

Angus (angusmiranda) | 4337 comments Haha, OT moments namin ni Kwesi iyan. We just finished reading Hitchhiker, maganda naman ang general reception. Siyempre may isang atribida, at ako iyon, hahaha!


message 141: by Gail (new)

Gail (nighting-gail) | 26 comments I'm mainly just curious about it because a dude on Tumblr (the same dude I found Perks of Being a Wallflower and Hunger Games from) was slightly raving about it. I thought I'd give it a shot.


message 142: by M G (new)

M G (reianne) | 31 comments Ang nasa TBR ko ay dalawa lang:
1. The Book of the Alchemist. Adam Williams by Adam Williams The Book of the Alchemist by Adam Williams
Why: Dahil wala nito sa Pilipinas, as of 2 weeks ago nung nagtanong ako sa NBS. May special order option sila para dito pero alam kong mahal yun. At sabi ng publisher, out of stock na daw. :(

2. Chromosome 6 (Jack Stapleton & Laurie Montgomery, #3) by Robin Cook Chromosome 6 by Robin Cook
Why: Dahil ... Hahaha, ang cool lang niya mag-posing sa mga shots niya sa back cover. :3


message 143: by Angus (new)

Angus (angusmiranda) | 4337 comments Gail, everyone's raving about it, especially geeks. Note that geek is not used in a derogatory manner here. But it's funny. Quite funny.


message 144: by Gail (new)

Gail (nighting-gail) | 26 comments And now it's bumped to the number 1 spot of books I plan to read after John Green's The Fault in Our Stars.


message 145: by Rayann (new)

Rayann (imperius) | 2 comments 1) The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
2) 1984 by George Orwell
3) Froi of the Exiles by Melina Marchetta
4) The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
5) Pure by Julianna Baggott

Those are probably my top TBR right now, although the list goes on and on.


message 146: by Eric Magsino (last edited Apr 02, 2012 04:49AM) (new)

Eric Magsino | 6 comments Bagong member lang po ako. Sobra naman atang ambitious ang 500 books na babasahin ko (bago matapos ng high school). Pero ang plano kong basahin ngayong summer siguro:
The Dystopian Trilogy
1.) Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
2.) Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
3.) 1984 by George Orwell
Mga main aims ko:
1.) The Complete Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (mga short story na lang natitira. Medyo marami-rami kasi)
2.) Siddhartha by Herman Hesse (nagustuhan ko kasi ang Steppenwolfe niya, gift kasi sakin yun ng Lolo ko :D )
3.) The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini (nabasa ko na ang A Thousand Splendid Suns, tapos maganda din daw toh, kaya ayun)

So far sobra talagang dami na lalampas na ako ng character limit, pero ang ilan sa mga libro na plano ko basahin ay:

Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Go Ask Alice, Flowers for Algernon, A Separate Peace, Anna Karenina, War and Peace, Of Mice and Men, Silmarillion, Hunt for Red October, The Firm, All Creatures Great and Small (series), The Complete Work's of Shakespeare (Mga Sonnets na lang ang di ko nabasa, YEY! :D) Water for Elephants, Time Traveler's Wife, Absalom, Absalom! among others. Wew. medyo mahaba-haba na pala nalista ko ah :D

EDIT: May marerecommend ho ba kayo saking libro?


message 147: by M G (new)

M G (reianne) | 31 comments Hi Eric! Maganda yung Flowers for Algernon. Human drama siya at kung malambot ang puso mo para sa mga may kapansanan, talagang mahahabag ang damdamin mo dito. At the same time, matututo ka rin ng mga bagay-bagay tungkol sa psychological experiments. Mabilis lang siyang basahin. :)
