Now Reading...

[Paul]

para sa mga mahilig magbasa ng libro. dito na kayo mag-post at huwag dun sa pictures category.

anong libro ang binabasa nyo ngayon at ano ba ang mga hilig ninyong basahin?

ako'y mahilig sa mg spy novels mula nung elementary pa ko. ewan ko kung bakit. basta gustong-gusto kong magbasa ng mga cold war novels noon (hanggang ngayon). up to the point na mag-self study ako ng russian at makabasa na ng cyrillic. mga paborito kong authors ay sina Robert Ludlum, John Le Carré, Len Deighton, Martin Cruz Smith, atbp.

ngayon ay binabasa ko ang "The Night Manager" na sulat ni John Le Carré. nakuha ko 'to sa isang tambak ng libro na pinamimigay sa International Center dito sa 'min.

[reon]

para sa mga mahilig magbasa ng libro. dito na kayo mag-post at huwag dun sa pictures category.good idea.

bihira yata akong magbasa ng spy novels. teka, bihira na pala akong mabasa ng kahit na anong novels lately. puro short stories at essays, mas kaunti lang kasi ang investment sa oras. kayang tapusin ang isang short story o essay sa isang sitting (sa living room, sa train, o sa toilet) :devil:

[chameleon]

Dear Paul,

Know what,i read a le Carre novel when I was in High School, typically old style..Is the Night Manager a new novel?I saw a feature of him in the Newsweek or Time Magazine and he is coming out with a new novel..I found his novel interesting up to a certain point when I heve no other choices..he he biro lang but incidentally like the pacing of Ludlum,Follet better and now am a fan of Dan Brown ,etc...Why dont you try Crichton`s latest novelss..really interesting and relevant to nanotechonology now..

Cheers, Chameleon

This is the story of one of the greatest men who ever lived - Alexander the Great.

Madaling basahin, hindi nakakainip (for history fans), nakakatuwa din ang first person style, and most of all aside from buying the paper-back or the e-book versions, you can read it for free (http://www.watchmojo.com/events/history/alexander_the_great/intro_history_is_sub jective.htm)! :D

[freegirl]

the first book, which was made into a movie, mah favorite movie...Fight Club by mah fave author Chuck Palahniuk. if you appreciate the movie, i definitely think you would also appreciate the book. one moment i feel like the unnamed narrator (played by edward norton), the other moment i feel like tyler durden (brad pitt in the movie). so far, i love Palahniuk's Invisible Monsters and Survivor. I would like to get copies of his other books.

[puting tainga]

Now I am reading 誤解されているフィリピン (Misunderstood Philippines), a book in Japanese someone recommended in another thread.

Miro Kasai, the author, is taga-Keio Univ, and had lived in Manila for 10 years.
Miro sounds like a woman's name, but google indicates the author is a man.
He is very upset with the ignorance or misunderstanding by the Japanese about things or people of the Philippines.

He knows a lot.

I have a hunch he is reading this as a member or a visitor.:rolleyes:

"GUIDE TO INVESTING"

..it's about,What the Rich Invest In,That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!...
by:Robert T.Kiyosaki with Sharon L.Lechter= The authors of 'Rich Dad Poor Dad'
..I would like to share the author's final word;

The 90/10 Rule of Money

Most of us have heard of 80/20 rule.In other words,
80% of our success comes from 20% of our efforts.
Originated by the Italian economist Vifredo Pareto in 1897.
It is known as the principle of least effort.
Rich dad agreed with the 80/20 rule for overall success in all areas but money.

When it came to money,He believed in 90/10 rule.
Rich dad had noticed that 10% of the people had 90% of the money.
He pointed out that in the world of movies,10% of the actors made 90% of the money.
He also noticed that 10% of the athletes made 90%
of the money as did 10% of the musicians.
The same 90/10 rule applies to the world of investing,
which is why his advice to investors was "Don't Be Average".

this book was a valentine gift from my hubby...

@itchay, Thanks & Great!You &RK are correct about " money working for us".Freedom to escape the ratrace.Mukhang,mahi lig ka ding mag basa.They say"leaders are readers" di ba?glad to know your mom is in Herbalife.Ganbatte!A ctually,page 179 of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" ay ni recommend ni RK ang MLM .The only chance for average person to be financially free.The other choices: Investing,Franchisin g,own business....mahirap at big capital ang kailangan!Proud to say kasama ko sa top 10 ng co. sa Japan.Proud dahil ako lang ang gaijin at filipino pa.Imagine the language/culture challenges.FIGHT for your DREAMS i.e. hindi free,take the challenges,disciplin e your disappointments,etc. Good luck to all of us!

hi VeeGee,

i usually choose the books i read basing on my mood, but sometimes i also choose books out of curiosity because of what i heard about it. i also read books related to issues i'm interested in. and, as for the required readings, i read them regardless of whether i enjoy it or not. :)

Currently, I'm reading Seven Ancient Wonders by Matthew Reilly.

[Gerri]

para sa mga mahilig magbasa ng libro. dito na kayo mag-post at huwag dun sa pictures category.

anong libro ang binabasa nyo ngayon at ano ba ang mga hilig ninyong basahin?

ako'y mahilig sa mg spy novels mula nung elementary pa ko. ewan ko kung bakit. basta gustong-gusto kong magbasa ng mga cold war novels noon (hanggang ngayon). up to the point na mag-self study ako ng russian at makabasa na ng cyrillic. mga paborito kong authors ay sina Robert Ludlum, John Le Carré, Len Deighton, Martin Cruz Smith, atbp.

ngayon ay binabasa ko ang "The Night Manager" na sulat ni John Le Carré. nakuha ko 'to sa isang tambak ng libro na pinamimigay sa International Center dito sa 'min.

Hello Supermoderator Paul... kakatuwa meron palang 'supermoderator' ang TF... Dati I used to read policital books like 1984, The Forbidden Book, America's Empire in the Philippines etc. etc... nung nag-mature ako, gossip sites na binabasa ko like perezhilton, TMZ, etc. etc. :D

On a serious note, recommended ko yung last 2, truth rings on that book. nainis ako nung binasa ko yun, asar pa nga ako sa kano eh and the irony of it, kano napangasawa ko lolz

Just finished reading "The Witch of Portobello" by Paulo Coelho.

I'm willing to swap this with another Paulo Coelho book, preferrably his "The Pilgrimage" book. I've read "The Alchemist" already, so this is out of the list. Instead of buying, I thought of trying my luck first on book swapping. The book is still very good as new. Just bought this last Thursday at a local bookstore here.

Hope there's someone out there willing to swap.:)

Next on my list most probably will be The Varieties of Scientific Experience: A Personal View of the Search for God [amazon.com] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0143112627) by Carl Sagan (non-fiction).

If you want to keep track of your books, you can try Shelfari.com (http://www.shelfari.com/) or LibraryThing.com (http://www.librarything.com/).

"The Choice"

by Nicholas Sparks

from ContemporaryLit.Abou t.com
"Will unleash a torrent of tears... But, the emotion will be emotionally cleansing for it involves a choice each of us is likely to face one day. This is the stuff of serious romance novels."

my first time, in a long time, to read a romance fiction again.. and it seems i'll be needing a box of kleenex. :D

still on page 114, where love is still budding..

[Aristarcus]

Pasali po,
I really love reading the works of Sidney Sheldon, John Grisham and Anne Rice. But I will recommend 'Tuesday's with Morrie by Mitch Albom'. You will see life in a different angle.
Currently I'm reading Nothing Last Forever by Sheldon.
