Karma Policeman Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 High Fidelity. Honestly I don't like Nick Hornby but I do think that the movie was great. The book, however, I didn't enjoy. I guess it's one of those preferance s**t. Well, come to think of it, I have yet to read a Hornby book I liked and I've read quite a number of them. Quote Link to comment
owenmeany7 Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 i like nick hornby... i've read about a boy and high fidelity... i haven't watched the movies though... Quote Link to comment
kotiko Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Well of course there's the usual Lord of the Rings trilogy, Harry Potter series, and books of Dan Brown, which I find facinating. You can also try the biographies that those famous guys in US made like Clinton. I'm planning to check it out sometime. You should decide with your own preference though Kung ano mgat trip mo and stuff. Quote Link to comment

punkus Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 try nyo books ni david sedaris nakakaaliw... :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
HoneyBoy Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I've read "The Da Vinci Code" and "Angels and Demons". Really interesting books. If you really want the hardcore stuff, read "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" which is the information source for the "The Da Vinci Code". At kung business-minded ka naman, "Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done" and "Sun Tzu" The Art of War". Maganda siyang guide sa mga bagay-bagay tungkol sa ating mga buhay.... "Separate Peace", "Catcher in the Rye", "The Old Man and the Sea", and "The Alchemist" are relatively short novels but are worth the time and effort. Happy reading! Quote Link to comment

muffy69 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 For those of you looking for adrenaline rush, try the following: 1) Clive Cussler's books featuring Dirk Pitt 2) Clive Cussler's books featuring Juan Cabrillo I used to be a Robert Ludlum fan but I needed something else that had spy thrillers/espionage but with a sense of humor. Clive Cussler's Pitt and Cabrillo are characters to admire. If you're fixated with CIA/FBI/Marine/Army/Navy Seals/Delta Force characters and are excited by danger interspersed with funny dialogues to disguise dire situations, then read Clive Cussler's books. :cool: For those of you who are conscious about your English grammar but hate referring to English textbooks, try the following:1) Richard Lederer's books (ex: Crazy English, Cunning Linguist and Sleeping Dogs Don't Lay: Practical Advice to the Grammatically Challenged) 2) Patricia O'Conner's books (ex: Woe Is I) 3) Charles Harrington Elster books (ex: What in the Word: Word Play, Word Lore and Answers to Your Peskiest Questions About Language) 4) Lynne Truss' books - (ex.: Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation) :thumbsupsmiley: That's about it for now. I'll be back when I can think of something else to recommend. *checks her bookshelf/library* Ahihihi. Quote Link to comment
NightMarket Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 History of Philosophy. Despite its heavy sounding title the treatment is light but informative. Quote Link to comment
Wyld Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 ok ba yung chronicles of narnia kung di mo sunod sunod babasahin? kasi ang first book nun yung magician's nephew yata but i cannot find it in singles, nakita ko lang dun sa collection na nung book.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hmm the books can stand on their own naman but it would help you understand the rest of the story if you read The Magician's Nephew too....

Karma Policeman Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Anything by Ian McEwan. My favorite work of his, though, is Atonement. Quote Link to comment
Karma Policeman Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Let me add Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go in my list of Highly Recommended books. Japan has spawned quite a number of great writers since the 2nd world war ended =) Quote Link to comment
