Some (American) foreign friends have recommended "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" and "Thermodynamics of Pizza."

Medyo matanda nang books, but I'd like to know the Filipino readers' take on them.

ive read both the name of the rose and focaults pendulum ... im amazed @ umberto eco and how he is able to write novels that are so rich and diverse ....

 

good albeit difficult reads

 

great choices! :thumbsupsmiley:

yes. hornby wrote "about a boy" and also "high fidelity"--an equally wonderful book.

 

try getting a copy of "a heartbreaking work of staggering genius". just finished it. it's awesome.

'high fidelity' is one cool show.. in this rare instance, is the book as good as the movie?

Try these two books of Benjamin Hoff:

 

The Tao of Pooh

The Te of Piglet

 

I am particularly fond of Michael J. Gelb's "How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci"

I saw it at a university bookstore in the US when I went with my kid sister on a college tour.

 

Yeah, I'll get a copy as soon as I see one here

 

btw, it's 31 songs, not 41. my bad!

I hope you meant it the other way around i.e. the movie being better if not as good as the book.

 

One book with a better movie version? Forrest Gump
