sam spade Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 I know this may be old books that i would suggest but they are trully worth finding.... If you want to get some insight as to how a muslims mind works and their culture...try the novel...The Haj Recent contraversy over the Tom Brown novel should not really be as contravertial as they now make it to be...there have been books that have dealt with religious facts (as we know them and tweeked them into fairy tales to make them more interesting....such as the 12 book series of The Children of the Lion....taking off from the bible's story of Able and Cain...Cain slew Able out of jealousy...God banished Cain as punishment but before he was banished he was given a birthmark on his lower back (formed RED LION's PAW)...to warn everyone not to hurt him and his descendants less they wish to feel the wrath of God...and God gave him a skill to survive...being the best blacksmith (remember in those days there were too many fighting amongst nations and clans)...get how it fits in??? This is the story of cain's descendants.... Best for me from john Grisham is still A Time to k*ll though they murdered it miserably when they made it into a movie Tom Clancy's best book for me is still RED STORM RISING....though never made into a movie (i guess the budget would have been horendous if they did. For the girlie stuff...which I read way back when sometimes I don't have any other better to read...my most memorable would still be P.S. I Love You....any women out there remember this....sequeled with To Love Again Ofcourse and there are the classics....best in my list would still be The Little Prince...on human nature and diversity....The Prophet....guide to life Quote Link to comment
alien_philosophies Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stoneby JK Rowling or Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stoneby JK Rowling The contents are the same even the adults version, sa publishing company lang nag-iba coz the Sorcerer's Stone was published by Scholastic and Philosopher's Stone was published by Bloomsbury. I like Scholastic's copy better coz every chapter there's an illustration. Quote Link to comment

Tzi Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 4 a good, simple love story: Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress, by Dai Sijie. It's simple but beautifully written. I prefer Chinese novels in general, they have this easy-to-read but immersing style. Like listening to a skilled storyteller. Quote Link to comment

cocoy0 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Yung book ni Robert Fulghum madalas icompare sa ABNKKBSNPLAko... Maganda ito. Other books I am proud to have read are: The Hell encyclopedia (I forgot the editor or even the publishing house but I read it at UE Recto reference library). It even had a foreword by Clive Barker. Up the Down Staircase by Bel Kaufman All is Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque - nice war novel. Definitely anti-war. Conan series. Mindless action, pero ambangis! Anime will have a hard time topping this. Spellsinger series by Alan Dean Foster. Software by Richard Rucker. a cyberpunk classic. What if the mind is only a software? The Da Vinci Code. It is superior to Angels and Demons... How to Live with a Neurotic Dog. by Mr. Baker... nakalimutan ko author. The Little World of Don Camillo. the Italian village priest versus the Communist mayor. Candide by Voltaire. masterful satire. Quote Link to comment
