Don't you love my spiel sa poll hahaha! Tindi nito hahaha.In the end, we will all be winners. We'd like to have as many members as possible to vote. It's my barometer on how many members are really paying attention or lurking out of 1,500. When they vote, they'd like their voices to be heard and counted. With 3 of us campaigning (why don't you make up your mind and write a spiel too? hahaha) we will be able to show how interesting our book group is.
Go Color Purple!
@Angus: Haha. Ano ka ba, you already read the book. Why not try reading Remains of the Day since big fan ka naman ni Ishiguro. Hello? Try another new novel. Huwag na yung nabasa mo na. At first place, di ko hinahampas ang bag mo no. Baka nilagay mo sa likod mo ang bag mo while sitting in Powerbooks. Haha. Anyway, kung ako may kasalanan edi ako na. But I'm sure I'm not. Haha.@Maria: Ako ba? Haha. Basta kung ano vote mo dun na rin ako mag-vo-vote. Bahala na. Haha.
HELLO KWESI!Nabasa ko na ang Remains. 5 stars ko pa nga iyan eh. The Color Purple 4 stars. Mockingbird 4 stars. Dapat nga Remains ang icampaign ko kasi siya ang highest rating ko sa tatlo, kaso kasi feeling ko mas importante ang Mockingbird.

Sa aking pakiwari, mas mainam at akma yatang iyun ang ating pagtuonan ng pansin.
Ranee: Oo naman. Go Dekada '70! hahaha Advance lang! hahaha.
@Angus: HI ANGUS! Ayan, 5 stars mo naman pala, yan na ang i-campaign mo. Importante ang F*bird kasi yan ang ung.... pano mo nga inexplain yun sa blog ni Monique? Haha.
Ella. Adik ka talaga. ELLA THE CAT RACER. oh diba? Parang nao-OP ako sa mga books na yan. At feeling ko mag-eextend ang penetensiya ko. haha
Rollie: Kung maka-OP ka, parang ibang-iba ang mundo mo. Lahat naman puwedeng basahin kung bibigyan mo ng chance. Just open your mind and give the book a chance. Sobrang hard sell na ako sa Jane Eyre hahahaha.

Survival skills ang kelangan ko!!! But i looove the challenge :)
My thank you message for the dayThanks for putting the threads in order, Jzhun.
Thanks for creating the poll, Angus.
Sometimes, when we are tied up with so many things, we tend to miss appreciating people who just did us favors/terrific jobs, di ba? So I think I will have send thank you messages when appropriate. We are all in this in keeping this group alive and strong! Good job, guys!!!

OMG, Maria. Classic overload. Para ka lang dating sexy actress na nire-reinvent ang sarili mo into mature roles. Nanay roles! Ikaw ba yan, Eula Valdez?
KD: May sarili ata akong mundo. Nag-try ako ng The Known World. In fairness, buwis buhay pala ang pagbabasa ng librong yun, depressing. Haha. Kaya di ko natapos. Sana naman di ganyan si Jane Eyre sakin. haha.
Rollie, ay oo. Mahabang basahan yong "The Known World." Grabe. Yan ang first book ko na binasa ko at pinakinggan. Tip ni Mo Twister sa Goodtimes noon. May audio ako then binabasa ko while listening sa audio kaya super tagal kong binasa. Tama ka, buwis buhay pero intendido ko talaga hahaha. Mga black slaves na may among black din. Bago ang librong yan di ko alam na may ganoon pala. Black slaveowners. Akala ko noon, mga puti lang ang amo ng mga itim.
Oo nga eh. Katapos diyan ko din nalaman yung putik na ginagawang pagkain. haha
KD, nice to meet you. I tend to get serious once in a while. It is good to know i can reinvent myself and take on mature roles.Lovelots,
Klaudia Koronel (o, kilala mo ba ako? hahahaha!)
Uhm, ito lang masabi ko. Pano mong masabing depressing yung book Rollie eh hindi ka pa nga naka-gitna dun? Nagtataka lang ako. Haha.
Kwesi my dear, umabot ako ng 1/3 at basahin mo ulit kasi from the beginning emo na agad. haha
Ha? 1/3 lang. It doesn't make sense. :P Haha.
Which? I mean which "it" exactly should even need a sense?
OT.The same "it" you pertained for not making sense.
^AY LOGIC TEST!!! walang kamatayan. nagamit ko na sa buong college ko dahil sa mga accounting transactions, pati ba naman rito logic pa rin ang usapan. fine. na-intriga ako sa The Known World at try ko siyang basahin. naku-curious ako sa buwis-buhay nyang challenge sa pagbabasa, ahahah
Ella. OO naman. Logic!At dahil logic nga at naintriga ka sa The Known World, ikaw ngayon ay ang dakilang intrigera. :D
Why should be me? It should be you, I mean the word "it" can pertain to many non-living and non-gender specific organism. Plus, there are too much in my head. Just point it, the "it". And what is OT? And again, I'm asking you at first place. So you should answer what I'm asking for.
Igzaktly! I was just depending upon your
Yeah, I know. That's the reason why I asked you. Okay? Now answer or leave it. Anyway, I'm not interested anymore. All I can say is that, you are L... Mmmm... Smiling. Back to watching Bones.
HI Kuya, no problem, we're all in this together. At least na try kong gumawa ng poll at magbroadcast ng message.Chami! Klaudia Koronel ka diyan! Napanood ko yung movie mo, yung Live Show. Yung Tuhog hindi pa, wala akong mahanap na copy.
Rollie, binalahura mo ang The Known World? Napakagandang libro niyan!
Ella, maraming The Known World sa Book Sale. Go buy one! I think maaappreciate mo ito. The Gathering nga naappreciate mo eh, hehehe.
Chami: nyahahaha! d nagreply c KD so i'm assuming hnd nya ko kilala? :Dmapa-FB or GR, nagtatalo c Kwesi at Rollie. tsk tsk tsk. mag-jowa tlg ang drama. LOL
Chami, I can't believe na pinalampas niya ang movies mo! Baka mas kilala niya ako? (Aubrey Miles) :P
Ayyy... sige na nga. Ikaw na c Aubrey Miles. Weeee!
Aubrey Miles: Basahin ko yan. Worry not. Pero baka next year. HahaKlaudia Koronel: Masanay ka na dude! Simula't sapul nag-aaway na kami.
~What's wrong with the world, dude? Hot mommas are everywhere!
KK: I know your movies! I liked Tuhog since I think you were riding a horse there in nude hahaha. You even have this goodlooking man on top of you on top of the mountain. Real mountain. Not your mountains hahahaha.AM: I know your movies too. But I loved you more in Survivor. Kaso, you lost despite all your alliances. You wicked, wicked woman.
Rollie: You are right. "The Known World" is not an easy read. I also understand that it could be something that's not easy to relate with because we didn't have black slaves here in the Philippines. The writing is also a bit challenging since it is a literary (generally written not for entertainment but for giving deeper perspective in life) book. However, some of the entertaining books (like our favorite "Ender's" series) can also give deeper perspective in life. So, magulo lang talaga. Sometimes, because there is so much sense, nagiging pointless na ang debate. Kasi nawawala na ang sense ng sense.
Literary books challenge comprehension while sci-fi or fantasy books challenge imagination.Deeper understanding I think still depends on the reader. Oftentimes, we understand because we relate. Just remembering how Halse's Speak made me. :P
