bods1000 Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 (edited) bought 100 years by g. marquez today... can't wait to read it... sale nga pala sa powerbooks greenbelt 4!!! Happy reading! After that you might also want to try another one of his books Love In the Time of Cholera. It's about how love transcends the passage of time and the succesion of lovers........ Edited March 20, 2004 by bods1000 Quote Link to comment

danger06 Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 j.d salinger --- catcher in the ryeneil gaiman ---- any of his works are superb Quote Link to comment
veilette Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 i would also recommend jd salinger's "catcher in the rye" Â ...the rest on the top of my list are:harper lee's "to k*ll a mockingbird" (for the moral values it carries)arthur golden's "memoirs of a geisha" (best love story for me, great depiction of Japanese "geisha" culture - every woman would love this book, i can guarantee) thomas hardy's "tess of the d'urbervilles" andcharles dicken's "a tale of two cities" (appreciate them simply for their being classic, and i also enjoyed the romantic twist especially tess.., tragic love stories touch me most) Â anybody here familiar with orson scott card (i hardly remember the name)? ive read his book "seventh son". i think its the first in a series of three. would appreciate it if there's someone here who would be willing to lend book 2 and 3. Â enjoy reading everyone! Quote Link to comment

Mayella Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 read that while in college.......Irving has a quirky imagination...try to also rent the movie ...it's got Robin Williams as Garp i hope i can find a copy in the video stores since it was shot way back in the early 80's pa... i read some reviews on the internet and they said it wasn't really that good... is there any truth to this? what did you think of it? Â anyway, i personally feel that book versions are always better since they capture every detail... iba na kasi sa film eh and the directors have their own interpretations of the story...

Garp the book turns this way and that and a film in the hands of a less than capable director may not be able to capture the essence of the book...... A better movie adaptation of an Irving book would be The Cider House Rules , the same movie where Michael Caine won as Best Supporting Actor some years back.

Chito Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Does anyone have a copy of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"? Or does anyone know where i could buy a copy? Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 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! Quote Link to comment
