interesting

"Hey. That's my breakfast, you know."

"I know," Saenz says, still chewing. "Always tastes better when someone else pays for it."

This feeds my fetish to C. Palanca awarded stories.

He wonders if he knows enough to recognize the scars when he sees them, just beneath the skin of some seemingly ordinary, deceptively normal man.

Read this in college, rereading for book club :) Few pages in and I want to watch CSI episodes already.

I am almost done. Just have to wait for my reading buddy to signal whether we can discuss the last part now. Oh I like this book because of its being a crime novel. My first time to read a local crime novel. Very refreshing!

I am enjoying this book. I have not been to Payatas (where some Filipino dwellers dump their garbage) although it is just a 5 min drive from home. It seems to be interesting to see the place now that it figures prominently in this crime novel. Still early but I am proud that this book exists in our Philippine literature.

I am enjoying this book. I am now beginning to place a bet on who is the serial killer. I think it is FATHER GUS SAEZ, the old priest. This is because of Chapter IX. This is the nice thing about mystery books: you can enjoy thinking who the killer is.

Just finished the first four chapters. Very intriguing plot. This is the first suspense/mystery/thriller that is written by a local author. I've read a lot of local books and they are mostly drama, romance/love and children's. So, this is very interesting that I wanted to read the book in 2-3 hours (only 154 pages) but I said no because I am reading this book with a buddy and I have to post my thoughts daily.

I found this book in our shelf and found it interesting, huh.

'Fear, ignorance. Choose your poison.'

You've finally caught up, Father G! I got there back on page 33. :P

'He wondered with a great deal of concern if people came to see him and not Him.'

'In what kind of light will I see your scars?'

'You're not fat. You're Simone Signoret. You're ample. Curvy. Zaftig.' 'How come when you use a foreign word it always sounds obscene?'

'Of course happy families exist. Of course.'

'Jerome envies him his easy access to peace; the core of quiet he seems to possess.'
