Mayella Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 I've always enjoyed reading Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales when I was a kid and I'm sure a lot of you enjoyed them too. yup, i love fairy tales. i guess i learned to love 'em from my mom. she'd buy us these fairy tale books before and i got so hooked on them. binasa ko lahat.

Right now I'm still stuck in Australia (In a Sunburnt Country). Wala ka bang makita nung Garcia-Marquez sa mga booksale? Admittedly, nakakapanghinayang talaga ang mga presyo ng new books. recesses when combined with buried deep took on some shades of purple prose Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 this is quite embarassing coz pambatatong book na to.. which is almostlike harry potter too.. If you like Harry potter, you mightlike this book I'm reading. It's not as exciting but it's quite different. Title nya"Darren Shan" Mga 10 na yung bookspero meron namang books na compiledyung three stories in one book. Na-aaddict ako kasi ang babaw nung storypero masarap basahin website: www.darrenshan.com at my age I still enjoy reading Harry Potter. The appeal of these books lies in their being completely unpretentious, so there Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 for those still hung-up on that Dan Brown book, maybe you'd be interested to read Born In Blood by John Robinson (?). It's a non-fiction book that deals with the origins of Freemasons and his thesis that the Freemasons were born out of the ashes of the Knights Templar, or is actually the Knights Templar themselves...

freakish Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 ouch! **wincing** you gave away books? That is kind of hard to do. My friend when he decided to leave the country entered into a loan agreement with me concerning his books. I drop by every now and then in his room at his family's house to make sure the books are all tidy and still complete. Never can trust a sibling not to sell your books, especially when you're going to be gone long term. sometimes you have to specially if the space is starting to get too small. I usually give my books away to people i really know who will love it and pass it on to their friends. Just last week i have two big boxes of books that i have to dispose of... it's sad but gotta to do it. Sometimes I give it to charity so they can make money out of it. Quote Link to comment
