Some interesting poetry:

 

25th Fly/ Subterranean Thought Parade - Ramil Digal Gulle/Lourd De Veyra

 

The Most Careful of Stars - Ruel De Vera (excerpt below)

 

Isla del Fuego

 

Burning in the fiction

of affection, we lie

sprawled and separate

on the satin of sand,

 

with only your stranded

silence spanning

this damp distance

between us.

 

It is your incandescent

fear of touch that keeps us

constantly apart

like shoreline and sea.

 

You are afraid that, once joined,

we can no longer be sundered,

can no longer tell who is who,

what is what, whose is whose.

 

But even now,

the mangrove finds

the milling shadows melded

into its many limbs.

 

Already this sky, stained saffron

by sunset, decants the last light

of this naked night's coupling

with the afternoon.

 

So leave your fear

to be washed away

by the waterworn forgetfulness

of flotsam and sand,

 

and discover that love,

like embers of fleeting fireflies,

can blot out

even the most careful of stars.

The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty. If you think the film's scary, wait till you read the book...it's more detailed, more dramatic and explicitly explaines the troubles of tortured priest Father Carras.

 

I second the motion.

 

Also back in college I read another book by William Peter Blatty titled "The Ninth Configuration". Ang galing, naiyak pa ako sa huli.

Bill Dare's novel "Natural Selection."

 

Hilarious! Two thumbs up for this one. Fans of British humor are in for a treat as Dare himself is a comedy writer.
