Angus wrote: "Gawd, can you just let me read Life of Pi? It's MY time I am wasting."At dahil hindi maganda kay KD, babasahin ko ang Life of Pi. Whoopee! :)
Chami, let's waste our time together reading this!
haha,email ko sau at wait ko na lang din ang verdict nyo.malay natin mamotivate ako basahin sya soon.
Parang doble yong message ni Angus hahahaha. For emphasis lang?4 stars yata sa akin ang The Life of Pi. Ibig sabihin talagang nagustuhan ko. Kaso nga ang pinapayuhan ko ay si Cary. Bilang nakakatanda sa kanya o di ba? Ako na ang concerned. hahahaha
Haha, eh kasi pala noh, maingay yung ibang tao sa Twitter, pero dito tahimik. Yung iba naman sa FB. Dito na lang ako mag-iingay. :D

Apir dito :) Naalala ko tuloy si Maria nung Christmas Party lol
Naku! Babasahin ko rin yang Frankenstein pero sa November pa kasabay ang Dracula. Yung Ulysses, diba i-reading buddy niyo yan? Try ko munang maghanap ng copy. The rest is history.
Haha. I agree. Sige na nga, hanap muna ako ng copy sa Ulysses mo. Meron ka na bang planong basahin for the whole year? Hindi ako nagdedemand ha. Nagtatanong lang. Niyahaha!
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.
^Wala akong carry sa kahit anong sport na sinasabi niyo, gora lang. XDApril 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.
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!
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.
Ang nasa TBR ko ay dalawa lang:1.
The Book of the Alchemist by Adam WilliamsWhy: 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 by Robin CookWhy: Dahil ... Hahaha, ang cool lang niya mag-posing sa mga shots niya sa back cover. :3
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.
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.
1) The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde2) 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.
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?
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. :)

Angus, gora lang and read. At the end of the day it's still your decision and preference naman ang magpiprevail..
