books
i remember now, why i've been so reluctant to step into a bookshop... i think i have an affinity to books (ha-ha, nobody knew that!!!) but really... it's a magnetic sort of thing. they just... jump into my hands and stick there.
books that would not unglue themselves:
1. siglo: freedom
status: finished! :)
i loved the last story... impressive. andrew drilon's work. they were all very distinct and different and filipino:) SABS! IF YOU ARE READING THIS.... *AHEM AHEM* those stories were ALL ten pages!
2. perks of being a wallflower by steven chbosky
status: waiting to be reread
buy it!
3. inkheart (if that's the first one...) by cornelia funke
status: plasticked
i was reading some crummy circle of magic books because i had nothing better to do over the break (not that they're bad... they're just... not for my age group? hahaha... children's fantasy type) and i thought, since i was reading children's fantasy... i might as well buy a new, critically acclaimed book
4. norwegian wood by haruki murakami
status: read the first coupla pages
it's hard to shift from one style to another so quickly, sometimes. perks was very blunt and it makes norwegian seem overly ornate. i suppose i just have to get into the rythym of the thing... took me a while to get used to chbosky's style, but once i did, i didn't stop 'til 2 am. :)
books i want:
everything mentioned in perks! though i was really meaning to read on the road by jack kerouac anyway...
little nemo in slumberland, taschen edition (coming in the mail!)
siglo: the passion
the guide to reading sandman
fight club
the boxed set of the complete calvin and hobbes!!!
a nice selection of poetry
that's all i can think of right now. :)
the poet ♥
