bosero Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 Well peeps dapat may book club tayo so we could borrow books from one another. If I had the money, I'll have a two story room filled with a wall to wall bookshelf yung tipong I need a ladder to get some of the books at the top shelf. I always thought that "The Catcher in the Rye" is a 'boy' book. Never found a girl before who actually enjoyed it. Puno kasi ng male angst yun eh. Yung "Nine Stories" pa, medyo gender neutral... but I'm glad you enjoyed it Fire, I'm pleasantly surprised. Quote Link to comment

bosero Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 Last book I read was "Dilbert" by Scott Adams (yes, the cartoon guy!). Very funnny, especially if you have a stupid boss, you can really relate to this. Quote Link to comment

I enjoyed it immensely... any one know any more books/authors like that? Â look for any of william gibson's books (neuromancer, mona lisa overdrive, count zero, idoru). tatay ng cyberpunk. Â or, if you're looking for the lolo of cyberpunk, read "the stars my destination" by Alfred Bester. no hackers in this story but it reads like a movie. and the ending is quite a surprise.

"Touched by the Light", Ëmbraced by the Light.... etc...then there's "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus"I still have yet to read the Celestine Prophecy....mostly, i enjoy self-help books and human interest stories aside from murder mysteries...

16track Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 themann: Bro, were you referring to Frederick Forsythe? He has written some good ones! If you like Forsythe, then I'm just guessing you also like Robert Ludlum. Robert Ludlum wrote: The Bourne Identity and its 2 sequels. He also wrote The Matarese Circle (this a good one!), Holcroft COvenent and several others more. For some other enjoyable reading, have you tried James Clavell's: SHogun, Taipan and Noble HOuse? Regards!

mangyann Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 bourne sequels, matarese circle and holcroft's covenant include matlock paper to these ludlum's greats what about david morrel the creator of rambo series his masterpieces includes brotherhood of the rose, fraternity of the stone, league of night and fog and the fifth profession. if you like some high flying technological aircraft stories check dale brown's flight of the old dog, day of the cheetah (the one with a thought controlled aircraft being hijacked with a sleeper (russian spy) from a US soil.

Fahfrd Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 I'm currently reading Alpha 5. A collection of stories of SF. Medyo luma na itong koleksyon na ito. What's funny is nandito yung story called "We Remember it for you Wholesale", written by Phillip K. Dick. It was the basis for the Arnold Schwarzeneger movie Total Recall. But the story in the book was way better than the movie. Yun lang. Hehehe.... Quote Link to comment
mangyann Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 hey dude, interested ako dito ah. i've seen the movie of the "brotherhood of the rose" is it anything near the book. how about the other books listed? pareho din ba sila ng brotherhood? Â hilig ko din kasi spy thrillers eh. dami din ako ludlum novels before. but nawala na karamihan kasi di na binalik nung mga nanghiram. ngek. actually i saw brotherhood in tv (gma gems (long time ago)) but i forgot na yung mga scenes that's why i'm asking for this film in every video rental store about a copy pero laging bokya. if i remember correctly mas maraming scenes sa book pa ren compared to the movie... lahat naman atang from books to movie ganun... those 3 books of morrell i mentioned other than brotherhood are also good. fraternity of the stone by the way is a sequel of brotherhood with characters are concern however it portrays a story not related from brotherhood. its about priest assasins.... i forgot na the story of league of night and fog that's why i'm looking for it in the booksale. Fifth profession is a story of today's bodyguards na parang samurai's protecting their master. Quote Link to comment
Django Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 I'm an eclectic reader- anything from the serious, to downright silly :0 here's a list of my fave books/authors Ambtrose Bierce - all his collected works HH Munro (aka Saki) - all his collected works Neil Gaiman - The Sandman Series, Smoke and Mirrors James Clavell - Shogun, King Rat Uderzo and Goscinni - The Asterix comic Books Bill Watterson - Calvin and Hobbes Pol Medina Jr - Pugad Baboy  Cecil ADams - The Straight Dope Isaac Asimov - I'm partial to his short stories Margaret Weiss and Tracy Hickman - The Dragonlance Chronicles I also have a collection of occult books and I collect storybooks (Oscar Wilde's stories, Brother's Grimm, Arabian Nights, Hans Christian Andersen, etc...etc) Quote Link to comment
jackdaleaper Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 reading has always been a passion for me. i never went anywhere without a book ever since my mother introduced me to reading at age three. since then i have collected and read more books that can fit in my room. just out of curiosity (again) i was wondering which authors other book lovers here at MTC prefer...
