It's another amazing book that hits you so hard at the end that all you can do is just stare blankly at the last page.<BR/><BR/>Also, a friend of ours mentioned this other book The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. It is so emotional. I recently bought the DVD movie. I cried every half hour.<BR/><BR/>Books are even greater when you can share it with friends. Sometimes the discussions after reading the book is just as satisfying as reading a really good book.<BR/><BR/>Update us with more books yeah Sir T!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30869190.post-35181015063210049192009-02-08T21:46:00.000+08:002009-02-08T21:46:00.000+08:00lol! *calms down*Just thought I'd share that the f...lol! <BR/><BR/>*calms down*<BR/><BR/>Just thought I'd share that the first book I ever bought (i suppose on my own) was The Client from John Grisham from Best Eastern when they still had a shop at Gadong Centrepoint. <BR/><BR/>And boy did I get a scolding from my dad (Bless his soul). xD I believe it was something along the line of wasting money. And that was the starting spark I would say for reading.<BR/><BR/>And also during those times, I had tuition above Huaho Gadong 2, where Titi n Drews used to be. I would rent books to read them.<BR/><BR/>Granted I perhaps should expand my horizon, but the books I mostly read are mostly Fantasies and a little bit of Sci Fi, with a lot of John Grishams and Michael Crichton mixed in the bag.<BR/><BR/>I remember you posted a question something along the line of how/what the young generation (makes us sound old, then again perhaps we are), dream (wish for) these days. I wonder how our young are coping in terms of literary consumptions. (those not forced upon them). <BR/><BR/>Also lately, I've been into Audiobooks (though kinda expensive xD) from Audible.com They're nice to be able to listen on the go. <BR/><BR/>I think the biggest problem (though partly due to the community itself) is that books are scarce in the country. They only carry those they think will sell well. (perhaps). So many times I go to a book store not being able to find books that I want. <BR/><BR/>*restraining self to make this comment into a blog post by itself*<BR/><BR/>But sometimes I wonder if maybe in a way, our society is 'rotting'. Forgot where I saw it, our 'nasi katok' mentality. Cheap is best. =/ When you think about the price of a good book (e.g. New York Times bestseller), it cost somewhere between 16-20 dollars. So I guess ppl forgo the book and go buy pirated DVDs maybe 3 or 4? for same price. *shrugs*<BR/><BR/>Anyway enough ranting on my part.
