Mayella Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I was at Powerbooks last night and I lucked up again...always been on the lookout for travel lit and I got Todd Balf's The Last River for 200+ pesos only - a hardbound book that originally sold for a thousand pesos. It's an account of an ill-fated whitewater expedition on the Tsangpo river in Tibet - considered to be the Everest of rivers.....great! lucky you!!! :cool: Quote Link to comment

Mayella Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 sure, but the offer of a friendly meeting stays yeah, why not? have you guys (i mean, the book lovers) ever met??? Having a book affords you the pleasure of reading it again at some other time - where new life experiences bring another perspective to the story you've read before i couldn't have said it better!

boyet Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 ..still reading Patricia Cornwell's "Portrait of a Killer". Hanep revelation nya about her findings kung sino talaga si Jack the Ripper. Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 yeah, why not? have you guys (i mean, the book lovers) ever met??? none that I know of.......there've been several attempts, but all fell through, I think I'm amenable to one, though - at Books For Less in Roces there's a coffeeshop downstairs which I think is ideal for meeting up.....I go there for some espresso and peruse whatever I bought upstairs Quote Link to comment
LexLuthor Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Any palm pda users? Here is a link where you can download free reading. Some classics that licensing has run out! Be careful. The doc format that they list is a pda doc format and not a word doc format. http://www.memoware.com/ This repository is here in the US. I just saw a new contribution that I will try to read. La Indolencia de los Filipinos (The Indolence of the Filipino)Author: Jose Rizal Category: History Description: La Indolencia de los Filipinos (The Indolence of the Filipino) translated from Spanish by Charles E.

kadafy Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 hello people, are business books "acceptable" here? anyway (assuming it is), two books i enjoyed reading (and re-read): 1. the monster under the bed, stan davis - talks about the evolution of data-to-information-to-knowledge-to-wisdom. it's an abstract on continuous learning's role in shaping tomorrow's business environement. it's a thorough analysis of our (world's) education systems' history & the path it has to take. my favorite quote: "never let your education interfere with your learning". it was quoted from mark twain actually. but stan davis made an interesting discussion about that line. it's a whole chapter actually. a good read i must say. 2. the 48 laws of power, robert greene - greene listed "48 laws of power". how to use them. how to avoid 'em. i appreciate greene's lay-out. it presented each case/law in a "how-to" fashion. he made references from history (from alexander the great, to mata hari, to p. barnum) about the law, citing transgressions and it's effects, as well as the observance of the law & its success. the anecdotes on the side (related to the law under discussion) is a real bonus. great book i must say. a lot of snipets of wisdom from the japanese tea ceremony to courting (yes, that's right; as per ninon de lenclos and other french courtesan). it's zen, tao, new age, communism, imperialism, democracy, power trip rolled into one. sounds like a dangerous book, ayt? not really. in the end, it's still you, the reader who will decide. as they say, it's really not about what you know but rather how you grow with what you knew.
