Labuyo Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 (edited) i'm a big fan of this series.fantasy ang genre. "The Dresden Files is a series of fantasy/mystery novels written by Jim Butcher. He provides a first person narrative of each story from the point of view of the main character, private investigator and wizard Harry Dresden, as he recounts investigations into supernatural disturbances in modern-day Chicago.""In the world of The Dresden Files, magic is real, along with vampires, demons, spirits, faeries, werewolves, and other mythical monsters. Harry Dresden works to protect the general public, who are ignorant of magic and the dark forces conspiring against them. This makes it difficult for Harry to get by as a working wizard and private eye. The Chicago PD's Special Investigation unit, when led by Murphy, regularly employed Dresden as a consultant to help solve cases of a supernatural nature."from Wikipediai like the wit and humour of the books.i currently have all the books available on paperback. so that's eleven books in total. from Storm Front until Turn Coat. EDIT: and i'm also pretty sure all you bastards and pervs would like "i hope they serve beer in hell" by tucker max. Edited August 3, 2010 by Labuyo Quote Link to comment

EDIT: and i'm also pretty sure all you bastards and pervs would like "i hope they serve beer in hell" by tucker max. Have all Dresden paperbacks too and ive enjoyed each one until White Night. I stopped at that book for now to read the Millenium Trilogy (Steig Larsson's books) that I highly recommend too! Looking forward to Storm Front and Turn Coat. The paperback release date of Changes, the latest book in this series is still unknown. Dang. Quote Link to comment
Labuyo Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 i've heard somewhere that the Millenium Trilogy by Steig Larsson isn't really just a trilogy? tipong naudlot daw kasi nga tigok na yung author? i'm really, really piqued by this series right now and i'd like to know if those of you who've read all the books in the series think it's a complete/finished piece of work? after reading the last book, does it feel like tapos na yung kwento (or at the very least eh may closure na)? speaking of waiting for paper back editions, i've been hearing that meron na daw paper back edition ng last olympian ni rick riordan? meron na nga ba nito sa pinas? i've checked sa national, fully booked at power books, wala pa daw.

Wyld Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 i've heard somewhere that the Millenium Trilogy by Steig Larsson isn't really just a trilogy? tipong naudlot daw kasi nga tigok na yung author? i'm really, really piqued by this series right now and i'd like to know if those of you who've read all the books in the series think it's a complete/finished piece of work? after reading the last book, does it feel like tapos na yung kwento (or at the very least eh may closure na)? speaking of waiting for paper back editions, i've been hearing that meron na daw paper back edition ng last olympian ni rick riordan? meron na nga ba nito sa pinas? i've checked sa national, fully booked at power books, wala pa daw. from what i read, he submitted the three manuscripts and died, so all along i was thinking that it was a completed piece of work. im still reading book 2 - got sidetracked by true blood LOL. the first book was a bit hard to get into - as in the pacing was slow and the descriptions a bit too descriptive. it picks up after a few chapters. the second book was very different - it was quicker paced but i feel like there are too many things going on at the same time. i have trade paperback editions of book 1 and 2, havent bought book 3 because i dont see any paperbacks around yet. my sister has the hardbound of book 3 so ill probly borrow and read that and just buy the paperback when it comes out. i dont really like buying and/or reading hardbound books: they are more expensive than paperback, its also harder to read in bed because a hardbound book is so heavy and cumbersome. i like trade paperbacks - slightly bigger than your regular paperback and a bit more durable. the paperback release date of the last olympian is jan 25 2011 - havent seen any paperback of that one yet.

gerryandrada Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions is a 2008 book by Dan Ariely, in which he challenges readers' assumptions about making decisions based on rational thought. Ariely explains, "My goal, by the end of this book, is to help you fundamentally rethink what makes you and the people around you tick. I hope to lead you there by presenting a wide range of scientific experiments, findings, and anecdotes that are in many cases quite amusing. Once you see how systematic certain mistakes are--how we repeat them again and again--I think you will begin to learn how to avoid some of them" Quote Link to comment

Labuyo Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 if you're after a sci-fi/fantasy book that doesn't resort to overused story plots. Sergey Lukianenko's tetralogy (Day/Night/Twilight/Last Watch) is a winner. despite the fact that the version you'd most probably be reading will be translated from the original russian, i'm betting you'd get the impression that this isn't your usual story borne out of a formula.

cocoy0 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Felix and Gotrek series by William King. It is set in the Warhammer Universe, and even though one doesn't play the game, the author writes a good action story, melding game elements and lore in a believable (for its genre) package. I haven't read the continuation by Nathan Long yet. Quote Link to comment

I agree this series is a fresh take on overused themes. The way I read between the lines, it's almost philosophical in nature and more mature than other sci-fi's... ;p The movie (in Russian) also looks amazing, kaya lang hindi ko pa natatapos since the copy I had before ran out of subtitles in the middle. I heard the Twilight watch is currently in production - or was it released? Quote Link to comment

Miss Zelda Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 TO k*ll A MOCKINGBIRD I read it just a week ago. It was an affecting experience - reading this book in the south with both black and white kids who'd been raised in the south. I love the setting and characters - but I'm always drawn to that setting and those sorts of characters. 'The Heart is a Lonely Hunter' is a favorite along the same lines-for some reason that's the book we were assigned to read when I was in highschool- and not 'To k*ll A Mockingbird, so I'd never read 'To k*ll A Mockingbird' in school. And I've never watched the movie. I think it's on the assigned reading list for highschools even over here now (in the UK) along with 'Of Mice and Men'. That's saying quite a lot - that they're representative of the American experience during that time and stand above others of that genre. I'm sure Harper Lee would be proud to know her work stands alongside John Steinbeck's as a perceived 'classic'. Quote Link to comment

thebatman Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Remains of the Day Amazing read but very excruciating to just go through it. It's probably the most boring book I've read but once you get to the end, you understand why the first 90% isn't too exciting. Written by Kazushi Ishiguro (hope spelled it right). He's a japanese guy living in Britain Quote Link to comment
kristen23 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Steig Larsson's trilogy is one of the best I've read out there. I'd recommend it highly. At magaganda yung movie adaptations. (I have copies). If you want a nice mindf#&k, try The Wind-up BIrd Chronicle by Haruki Murakami. Nakakabaliw. Quote Link to comment
Miggz Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 James Clavell's Asian Series Medyo mahahaba nga lang coz some of the books are 1000+ pages... but you'll get a good dose of asian psychology, culture and history. Quote Link to comment
