turi_guilliano Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Hi Guys, just finished reading two Dan Brown's... like it a lot... :thumbsupsmiley: although i must admit that im not much of a fan of the suspense thriller type... im more into the mitch albom style... sublime, easy and soothing to the soul... much like a book you'd read while in a hammock, under a shade of tall tree, enjoying the last few days of summer... any suggestions guys? tuesday's and five people you meet in heaven were splendid, im looking for the same types... =) nonetheless if you a good book of any type or theme in mind, then feel free to suggest them... it would be helpful if you could say a little something about the book, without spilling too much of course... :mtc: Quote Link to comment
Spanky Hardon Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 try these:einstein's dreamsdress your family in curduroy and denim the first is a novel divided into short sub-stories, the other is a collection of funny/sad/poignant personal essays. both are good reads while riding the MRT. ^^ Quote Link to comment
turi_guilliano Posted May 23, 2005 Author Share Posted May 23, 2005 thanks... will check it out! =) anyone read ayn rand's atlas shrugged? Quote Link to comment
Wyld Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 (edited) red datu iv read atlas shrugged. and the fountainhead. both by ayn rand. they are not easy reads but if youre patient and appreciate "think" books then youre gonna like them. on the other hand, if youre in the mood for a thriller, mystery type read, try the rule of four. its really :cool: im also reading (at the same time as rule of four), lemony snickett's 8th book as well as cryptonomicron ... both are quite interesting as well.

kiko machine Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 go read "the alchemist"...ganda cya di pa mahaba... di ksi ako bookworm kayai don't read thick books... Quote Link to comment
gorgonite Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 easy and soothing to the soul? try robert fulghum's books, esp. the 1st one: "All I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten". easy read, inspirational, it's a collection of essays taken from the author's life experiences. you will learn to appreciate the things we take for granted, the simple things in life. the author's a pastor or something like that.
