agxo3 Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Bought 3 discounted books last night at Powerbooks: <...>2. DOG EATERS - Jessica Hagedorn<...> It's about the Marcos years - lots of real people thinly disguised. If you remember that time, you'll have a blast reading this. Dream Jungle also takes place during that time, but is focused on the Elizalde/"lost tribe" scandal, and weaves in the "Apocalypse Now" filming as well. I'm blanking on the name of the "tribe" now but it was quite a scam and reeled in some big names in anthropology and sociology at that time. As the book liner notes, Jessica Hagedorn was born and raised in the Phil;ippines but moved to the US. She lived in the Pinas there for much of the martial law era. Quote Link to comment

Fahfrd Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 I finished Infinite Dreams, a collection of short stories by Joe Haldeman. I'm now about halfway through Halls of Stormweather. This is a novel in seven parts by seven different authors. Each one about a different member of the Uskevren family. They are one of the most powerful families in Selgaunt, a city in Sembia located in the Northern Coast of the Sea of Fallen Stars in the world of Toril in the Forgotten Realms. This universe is my favorite among all the TSR multiverse. Quote Link to comment

bleed Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 " A Boy Called IT"by Dave Pelzer would like to recommend this book its a very nice one. A bit emotional though, a story of a five year old boy mistreated by his mother. Quote Link to comment

You're right about it - the backdrop is indeed the Marcos era. It's in the same league as Ninotchka Rosca's STATE OF WAR. Btw, would you know where i could get TWILIGHT IN JAKARTA? I only have the photocopy version of TAKIPSILIM SA DJAKARTA. God bless. Quote Link to comment
