Fiction:

 

Books by Robert Ludlum, Fredrick Forsythe, Tom Clancy, and John Grisham.

 

Parepareho young first three authors na spy at war ang novels maliban kay John Grisham whose specialty is legal thrillers.

 

Pag walang naka-tinggin, nag-babasa din ako ng Sidney Sheldon at Jackie Collins na puro babae ang bida.... :D

Medyo madami dami na din ako nabasa, some of them gusto ko ideas, some of them ayoko, some of them gusto ko nung una then later on ayoko na, etc. My all time favorites:

 

1. Odyssey trans by Robert Fitzgerald. I love reading ancient literature/ and on ancient history. Herodotus and Plutarch, Gibbons is a great read, although difficult at times.

 

2. Among the moderns, Catcher in the Rye JD Salinger, The Great Gatsby FScott Fitzgerald, Moby Dick Herman Melville..Kitchen Banana Yoshimoto

 

3. Tolkien's books..simula nung Grade 1 nagustuhan ko na. Middle Earth trivia pwede ako.

 

4. Ayn Rand, gusto ko dati nung college, ayoko na after graduation. Lalo na nung nabasa ko biography ni Ayn Rand.

 

5. Carl Sagan is always a favorite too. Broca's Brain, The Dragons of Eden.

 

6. Sa poetry, Odes ni Pablo Neruda, especially yung Ode to the Watermelon. Ode to the Onion, and Ode to a Table, Ode to a Sock

 

7. Another college/high school favorite is Kurt Vonnegut. Nakakatawa, also yung mga short stories ni Woody Allen.

 

8. Sa philo, ok sa akin basahin si Bertrand Russel, David Hume, Kant. Nakakainis basahin si Nietzche.

 

Dami pa.
