What are you reading tonight?

[phathead]

what book (s) have you been burning the midnight oil on recently? mine is A Coach's Life by Dean Smith. Favorite author? Mine would be Erich Segal and James Clavell (R.I.P.). Any thoughts on the new Grisham and Crichton novels?

[uptowngirl]

Tonight, I'm reading Going Home by Danielle Steel. ;)

[Ira]

Leaving Small's Hotel by someone. I forgot who. :D

[Ada]

Instance of the Fingerpost by Iain Pears.

phathead: I love Erich Segal! Which book of his book is your fave? And what is Crichton's most recent novel?

[phathead]

Ada: Everything! but forced to pick, I'd have to say Doctors and The Class. =)
How about you?

Michael Crichton's new book is Timeline(s) ata.

[she]

Once and Always by Judith McNaught

[BODACIOUS]

Just got hold of this book today.

WITNESS FOR THE DEFENSE - Michael C. Eberhardt

[Ada]

phathead: Doctors would have to be my fave, followed by Acts of Faith. Dang, I learned so much about Jewish tradition from that book!

Tell me if Timeline is any good. :)

[uptowngirl]

Ada, phathead, I also enjoy Erich Segal... Doctors, Acts of Faith, and The Class. Nabasa niyo ba yung Oliver?

[bugsbunny]

uptowngirl: Have you read Long Road Home by Danielle Steele? That is such a good book!

Im reading When the Impossible Happens by Jaime Licuaco. Its a good book on parapsychology. If you guys like that kind of stuff, you'll enjoy the book! :)

[Telcontar]

Book 4 of the Sword of Truth Series namely The Temple of the Winds by Goodkind.

[phathead]

uptowngirl: yup! oliver's story... that's the continuation of love story. Oliver Barrett right? :)

Ada: yep! learned alot about jewish life also there! imagine, sabbath pala meant that the wife was gonna get some nookie... mwehehehehe...

[Eterna]

There are lots of people who like erich segal here. Few months back, i read Only Love. i suggest you try reading it too. I prefered the book rather than the Hallmark movie version of this.

At the moment i'm finishing The Tenth Insight by James Redfield,the sequel of Celestine Prophecy.

[This message has been edited by Eterna (edited 04-09-2000).]

[MsEerie]

I'm reading Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum. Man, ang hirap intindihin.

[nix]

I'm reading Red Herring Magazine as well as some prospectus reports on IPO seeking companies. -- Gosh, I live such a geeky life!

[Ada]

uptowngirl: Oliver's Story is so-so. If you want to know what happened to Oliver after Jen (?) died (I assume you've read Love Story), then go ahead and read O.S.

phathead: I was surprised to find out that women have to shave their hair when they get married!

Eterna: Only Love is Segal's latest book, right? It's out of stock in Powerbooks.

[uptowngirl]

bugsbunny, I haven't read that book. Do you have a copy that I could borrow? :D

Ada, I just read it, and it is not as good as his other books! :)

[Mikoid]

Neil Gaiman's "Stardust" and "The Motley Fool's Investment Guide".

[PUGSLEY]

Am about to finish The partner by John Grisham.

[asterisk]

I read several books at one time. Tonight I don't what I'm gonna read. Depends on my mood. On the night table are:

"A Map of the World" by Jane Hamilton
"Making Saints: How the Catholic Church Determines Who Becomes Saint, Who Doesn't and Why" by Kenneth Woodward (I am re-reading this after several years. Great research and fascinating cases!)
"The God of Small Things" by Arundhati Roy
"The Golden Bough" by James Fraser
"How Zacarias Slew the Dragon and Other Stories" By Jose T. Flores
"Wild Wicked Wonderful" by Dr. Margarita Go-SIngco Holmes
"Hey, Joe: A Slice of the City--An American in Manila" by Ted Lerner

[bing2x]

just started 'the pilot's wife' by anita shreve.

[Cala]

I'm reading Immortality by Milan Kundera. And Rilke every now and then. I don't seem to find the time to really read these days. :(

[phathead]

Eterna: you're right! the people who made the hallmark movie just murdered the book!

people, this is the one and only truth in the world today: the movie wasn't as good as the book! :(

asterisk: God of Small Things!!!! Galeng! if you haven't finished it, go finish it. now.

[Calypso]

HARRY POTTER!! by J.K. Rowling!

Yeehaw!

[Ira]

Easy Meat by John Harvey

[phathead]

isn't The Partner about the guy who hightails it to brazil after stealing 100Million?

[asterisk]

You know phathead, when I was starting "The God of Small Things" it was like a going on a gravelly road. I always got stumbled by her eccentirc English; sometimes I was turned off by a sense of contrivedness in the language. I am in the midpart now, getting used to the language and it is getting really intriguing. Hope to finish it soon. This is getting me long. But it is not unusual with me. I had the book with for two years now. Anyway, it doesn't bother me. A book is not really finished when you read the last page and closed it. It lives on. Forever. I think everybody should think of their books like that.

[This message has been edited by asterisk (edited 04-11-2000).]

[phathead]

asterisk: yup. God of Small Things is a hard read.

and what you said about books is very "touching". yup! let's all hope that books aren't just something to pass time on, but something to enrich our daily lives. ;)

[phathead]

anyone read james clavell?

[PUGSLEY]

Hardy Boys Case Files: The Phoenix Equation

[e]

Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman

he he he :D

[PUGSLEY]

HARDY BOYS CASE FILES: STREET SPIES

[Eterna]

Ada: i really wouldnt know if its the latest...tingin ko meron pa ata iba. The book was just given as a gift to me by my mom.No copies in Powerbooks?really?

plathead: i agree. The reason behind this most probably would be the hope that producers could soup up the story by commercializing it.

pugsly talaga?! do you have a collection? :D ASL please?

[phathead]

What's easy meat about?

THE GENERAL'S DAUGHTER by Nelson DeMille

[Cy]

[phathead]

anybody read Robin Cook and the like? i'm loaded to the gills with books like that. i guess i still dream of becoming a doctor in some way...

[Mister Dean]

I'm currently trudging my way through Erica Jong's "Fear of Flying." It's not a pleasant read; I think I'll give up after tonight and start on "The Alchemist."

[PUGSLEY]

The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje

[acridmouth]

Phathead: Ohhhh, I just looove Robin Cook. His works Coma, Outbreak and Mutation are simply awesome. Gripping, gut-wrenching and thrilling. I am looking forward to reading Chromosome 6. What's his latest novel ba ?

I'm reading "The Hammer of Eden" by Ken Follet tonight...I just finished reading the April 2000 issue of Life an hour ago.

[This message has been edited by acridmouth (edited 04-18-2000).]

[BODACIOUS]

THE BIBLE CODE - Michael Drosnin

[phathead]

correct me if i'm wrong because i get confused na... isn't chromosome six about those smarty pants apes who sort of become "aware" and intelligent? i forget na what the story is and my copy is with my friend eh. i know i liked all the robin cook books especially those with the pathologist tandem of _________ and ________ (again, i forget. it's been awhile na e).

i think cook's newest is vector though i haven't read that. ata. basta!!! he's a fun guy.

THE ALCHEMIST!!! :) the best!!!

[phathead]

i couldn't find anything else to read last night so i went up to our attic and read some of my old comics... grabe pala yung vocabulary nang mga comics na yun! i'm amazed i understood those words when i was younger!!! (if i did at all.)

[PUGSLEY]

THE COMPLETE FAIRY TALES OF THE BROTHERS GRIMM

[blair mitch]

Phathead: I love James Clavell as well.
Have almost all his books: Taipan, Shogun, King Rat and Noble House. I think that he's brilliant!

Books I recently finished that may be worth your while:

1. Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things
Contrary to what people say, it's not
actually a difficult read. Have you tried
Salman Rushdie's The Ground Beneath Her
Feet? Now that's an experience where
you'll be lost in all the metaphors. He
was much better in Midnight's Children.

2. Pearl Buck's The Good Earth
I've been hearing so much about this book.
A lot of my friends read it for their
book report (jeez). Finally opened my
dusty copy and you know what? It's pure
magic. You'll be transported back to the
days of Old China with all their wonderful
culture and ways.

3. Falling Leaves by Adeline Yen Mah
Powerful, gripping - it moved me. But
since you're probably a guy and all, this
one runs the risk of being a "chick's
book"...

4. Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel
Garcia Marquez
This one is all about unrequited love.
Never have I read about old people
actually making love and its not really
all that disgusting (you know, loose flesh
and tired bones and all) but actually
quite beautiful and inspiring.
Besides Gabriel Garcia Marquez is always
a safe bet.

5. In Praise of the Stepmother by Mario
Vargas Llosa
Dig this premise: what if a little boy
age 5 or so actually had the scheming mind
of an adult?! Watch this little boy make
a go for his stepmother! Interesting,
surprising, a definite pleaser. On a side
note, the descriptions are so intricate -
down to Don Rigoberto's (the father)
strange and complicated bathing habits.
I found myself actually reading 5 whole
pages of how he meticulously cleaned his
ears!

Right now am reading Frank McCourt's Angela's Ashes which is all about childhood hell in Limerick,Ireland. Actually quite depressing but the prose is beautifully, elegantly written.

Any books I should check out?

[BODACIOUS]

THE BEST AMERICAN ESSAYS by Joseph Epstein

[phathead]

blair mitch: thanks for the recommendations :) i'll check those books out fer sure!!! i'll come up with a list of books i'd like to share to you guys in awhile :)

[bing2x]

jack & jill by james patterson

[blair mitch]

Phathead, i am an avid fan of James Clavell. Have almost all his books including Taipan, Shogun, King Rat and Noble House.

On a separate note, try reading In Praise of the Stepmother by Mario Vargas Llosa. It's available in Powerbooks. Dig the premise: what if a 5-year old actually had the scheming mind of an adult, without anyone knowing it? Watch him make a go for the stepmother! Fascinating read. Check it out.

[PUGSLEY]

Martin Dressler-The tale of an American Dreamer by Steven Millhauser

the Green Mile 1/6

this book by Jude Deveraux.

bugsbunny, are u into parapsychology? I try to get a hold of books by Licauco because I've been reading up on stuff about parapsychology for as long as I can remember.

Have any of you guys read THE THORNBIRDS?

[BODACIOUS]

[BODACIOUS]

Remember Me - Mary Higgins Clark

[bugsbunny]

Jennifer: yes i am into parapsychology. do u know any more books i can read?

uptowngirl: have you read Long Road Home by Danielle Steele na?

right now im reading Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder. http://www.pinoyexchange.com/nerd.gif

[assilem]

Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison

[PUGSLEY]

The First Wives Club - Olivia Goldsmith

[flyderman]

BODACIOUS: What do you think of Dorsnin's The Bible Code? Interesting? I've been planning to get a copy.

[DocAbby]

Hey Bugs, just finished reading Jostein Gaarder myself... The Solitaire Mystery. Twas fun and philosophical at the same time. I started with Sophie's World but I lost the book somewhere in my clutter (hehe!) I'll look for it and hopefully, finish it this time.

[BODACIOUS]

flyderman:
On a personal note I'd say that I believe that GOD exists or that there's a Superior Being much greater than us.

I wouldn't know if you or people would agree with me so I would just like to quote what the author wrote in his book:

The code may be neither "right" or "wrong". It probably tells us what might happen, not what will happen.
But since we cannot let our world be destroyed, we cannot simply wait - we must assume that the warning in the Bible code is real.

[mrs. witter]

it's quite refreshing to know that there are still people out there who enjoy reading books. i agree about erich segal - i love his books, although i was disappointed with "only love". "man, woman & child", and "doctors" are personal favorites.

i also highly recommend "the alchemist" and "the fifth mountain", both by paulo coelho. "a wrinkle in time" by madeleine l'engle is a must. so is any book by gabriel garcia marquez (especially "100 years of solitude").
"to kill a mockingbird" by harper lee is a good read. and nick bantock's "griffin & sabine" trilogy and "the venetian's wife" are creative and mind-boggling. "crime and punishment" by dostoevsky will definitely blow your mind.

anyway, now i've begun reading c.s. lewis' "the chronicles of narnia".

happy reading, everyone! Godbless!



[This message has been edited by mrs. witter (edited 05-12-2000).]

[bugsbunny]

DocAbby: I actually started with Solitaire Mystery pero i stopped when i was already halfway reading it. tapos i decided why not start with Sophie's World? So im reading it right now. next up is Solitaire Mystery and then Christmas Mystery.

[Jennifer]

I'm still reading The Breast.

bugsbunny, I do, the thing is I forgot the title of the book. It's by some American author and I forgot the name *sheesh* sorry about that. Do you know of some other books too?

[adlaw]

Baltazar and Blimunda by Jose Saramago
The History of Europe by Norman Davies
The Pretenders by F. Sionel Jose
Shakespeare by Harold Bloom

These books are fighting for my attention this week.

[DocAbby]

Bugs, how did you find Sophie's World? I heard people saying they were quite bored with it so I guess that's why I decided to start with Solitaire Mystery. Anyway, tell me what you think of both books :)

Mrs. Witter (my rival for Pacey's affection!) thanks sooo much for lending me Griffin and Sabine :) I finished it in one sitting! Twas great, the passion, the art, the mystery... wow! I really felt drawn into the lives of those two mysterious beings. I recommend it for art and romance fanatics out there. Btw, I have a friend who has a complete collection of chronicles of Narnia... She's been getting me to read them but I haven't had the chance. But she fell in love with the series so it must be worth-reading.

Anyone here ever read Ayn Rand? I read one of her books about collectivism. Forgot the title though... something about Equality51... She's good if you really wanna get into deep philosophical thought :)

[7YRbITCH]

Charlotte Bronte's JANE EYRE.

hey ohlala and 7yr*****, thumbs up for the brontes and jane austen! yeah, pride and prejudice is cool beans, and so is emma. jane eyre is one of my favorite books, been rereading it since 6th grade :)

docabby, glad you liked griffin and sabine. i'll lend you the venetian's wife when my other friend returns it.i've finished the 1st two books of the chronicles of narnia, and so far i'm quite taken by the stories. hope you get to read them as well. my mom has all of ayn rand's books, and i've been meaning to read them but there's always something that sidetracks me. i'll settle down one of these days and read one.

just bought the valkyries by paulo coelho. i'm trying to keep from reading it until i finish the narnia books, but i'm not sure i can hold out that long. i still have to read books 3-7 of narnia. and i also got hold of gabriel garcia marquez's of love and other demons.

[steph]

well, i don't know if any of u guys here has heard of this...but it's making out by katherine applegate...it's a series, knda like SVU, etc... :)

[bugsbunny]

DocAbby: actually hanggang ngayon di ko pa rin tapos ang Sophie's World. it is kinda boring kasi yung first part ng book is about the history of philosophy but i hope gaganda na rin yun. ill let you know.

Jennifer: im still looking our for parapsychology books out there pero hirap din maghanap eh, lalo na kung wala kang money. hehe :)


right now, im taking a break from reading Sophie's World kaya im reading Pugad Baboy X for now. http://www.pinoyexchange.com/crazy.gif

[ebtg]

bugsbunny:

Sorry to disappoint you, but the book Sophie's World is entirely about the history of philosophy.

Nonetheless, it's a very, very good book and you should continue reading it up to the very last page. You may not believe me, but I've read that book five times already.

Hi, fly,
Einstein's Dreams is enchantment and delight. Every word rolls in the mouth, pure chocolate. Lightman pushes and pulls your notions of time and probability, shining an impossible light through the retina that bounces back and forth inside your skull until you have to stop looking at the page for fear of overdosing on beauty.
He tells of a place where time is birds, another where time is at its end, another where time does not move forward.
If you are a writer, Einstein's Dreams will either push you to write with all your heart, or make you despair of ever writing something as splendid and bold.

[davanita]

flyderman, after i read it, i wanted to get a copy of my own http://www.pinoyexchange.com/nerd.gif

fashionzealot: Celestine prophecy is really stimulating. I have always wanted to read the sequel, 10th insight but the beginning was just too boring. So is it good or even better than the previous book? Tell me k? I'll watch out for you reply....

I just finished trying out a book by Robin Cook, Acceptable Risk. He has a lot of books out and I want to get another.

I've read Eco's The Name of the Rose and How To Catch A Salmon a couple of years back, and it was on the strength of these writings that I bought Focault's Pendulum. That book just made me dizzy, though. I gave up after 20 pages. :)
