Zerreit Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 (edited) Hi guys. I've sort of been under a rock lately. I've noticed branches of Books For Less popping out but I haven't been to one yet. What's it like there? I hope it's not like Booksale. Will it be worth my tryip? Have they got tons of hard-to-find books there? Edited February 11, 2004 by Zerreit Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 At Books For Less, the titles are arranged according to subject....so hindi mahirap maghanap.......hard-to-find books?

sweetallure Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Hi there. I like Catcher in the Rye. I know that it's a pretty classic book and a lot of people has read this already. But it is truly captivating. One of the best books I've read ever. Also Angela's Ashes. Truly a good book during the post potato famine which talks about the author's Irish family. Seems like there's a rise of popularity for Memoirs of a Geisha. I oughta pick this book one time. How'd you guys like this ? Quote Link to comment

Sweet_Devil Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Heyyya! Wow, seems like a lot of you guys are from paranaque just the same. Mind if I join in? I'm not that much of a bookworm though, but I have read some good books. I've tried to read memoirs of a geisha, but I stopped halfway through it. (I got a lil bored I guess, it was too slow-paced for me) I'm more for the fast-paced novels minus the mushy gushy stuff. Lately, I've been into novels that's quite reflective and a bit philosophical.. most of paulo coelho's literature (The Alchemist, By the river piedra..blah blah) and they're quite good, I also like ' Tuesdays With Morrie.' I'm a huge fan of Sidney Sheldon and I know them all by heart (or so I think!hehehe) Oh yeah and I forgot! I'm also nuts about Pugad Baboy *teehee! Quote Link to comment
MODERATOR Alex_Corvis Posted February 15, 2004 MODERATOR Share Posted February 15, 2004 There's a new anne rice book, another part of the vampire chronicle, "Cantacle Blood" can't find a copy, even powerbooks don't have them yet. any adie, where can i find it? Quote Link to comment
JimmyNeutron Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Good Evening Bookworms! Hope you all had a good Valentine. I'm trying to find a copy of the Memoirs of a Geisha. Where is it available? I want to scan it first to see if it's a true bibliography that will illuminate me further on the human condition! :mtc: Quote Link to comment
JimmyNeutron Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 It's nice to read that sweetallure likes J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye. This story of a troubled teenager, Holden Caulfield, is a masterpiece. Unfortunately, it is J.D. Salinger's only published novel. I love many classics too. We must not forget books that had withstood the test of time. When I was a student I read a lot of thick classical books like War & Peace of Leo Tolstoi and Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Now, however, time constraints force me to pick briefer tomes. Also, the necessity of making a living has inclined me more to non-fiction books. A classic of a different genre is Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich. For those who want to be financially successful it is a Gold Mine! :mtc: Quote Link to comment

(this too I'm not sure)....saw a copy of Chocolat at Booktopia just tonight....haven't read it though or saw the movie.....I think the movie was nominated for a Best Picture a few years back....it had Juliet Binoche in it.....
