I promised to read at least one book a month this year. Which is why joining a book club was also timely. Last month, though, I started reading
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Steig Larsson and was not able to read the assigned book. Before the end of February, things got a little hectic. Just when I was close to finding out what happened to the girl who disappeared, I somehow did not get to pick up this book again. Until this week, that is.
I want to finish this one if only to figure out what the hell happened to Harriet Vanger. And to finally start reading
The Remains of the Day, which is what I'm supposed to read this month. Reminds me that I need to drop by a bookstore to get a copy.
Bookworm mode:
Tashika na Koto (Oda Kazumasa)
Hindi ko pa din nababasa yung Remains of the Day pero I plan on starting to read it later. Yang The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo nasa to-read list ko din. Maganda ba sis?
ReplyDelete@Joanne: Kakatapos ko lang sa kanya. Ang ganda! Well, I like mysteries kasi kaya na-enjoy ko din siya. :)
ReplyDeleteI plan on reading this too pero dami pa nauuna. I don't know pero biglang gusto ko magbasa ng mga novels written by Russian authors kaya eto, lets hunt for The Brothers Karamazov hahaha
ReplyDeleteMy other boss has asked me if I have read this book and until now I haven't done so. I better try to find a copy...
ReplyDelete@Dianne: Di ko alam, sis, pano mo nababasa lahat ng nasa reading list mo. Ako talaga, one book a month lang kaya kong i-commit sa sarili ko. Pero gusto ko yung turn of events ng story na 'to. Gusto ko na ngang basahin yung susunod na dalawa. Pero yung Ishiguro muna.
ReplyDelete@Pink: It's a nice read. Nung una, iniisip ko bakit hindi pa nagkikita yung dalawang main characters e parang ang dami ng nangyari. Pero na-compensate naman yung tagal ng first meeting nila. Tawa lang ako ng tawa.
Nararamdaman ko yung Remains of the Day eh parang WUTHERING HEIGHTS nung book club natin hahahahaha!!!!
ReplyDeleteSis Faith, yung mga binabasa ko kasi major mababaw lang talaga. Young Adult genre. Kaya tapusin in one sitting. Pero I plan on reading mga fiction na books at ewan ko ba at mga Russian authors ang gusto kong basahin. Pahirapan ko daw ang sarili ko. I am planning on creating a serious and non-serious reading list after the exams haha
@Dianne: Kaya ba kasama sa reading list mo si Tolstoy at Dostoyevsky? :) Si Tolstoy pa lang nababasa ko. Nagkaroon din ako ng phase na puro Spanish/Latin American writers lang binabasa ko. May time din na puro Japanese authors. May ganun yata talaga. Binasa ko lang ang Anna Karenina dahil epic daw siya. Epic nga. Parang siya ang mother of all telenovelas. :D
ReplyDeleteOh yes. Nilagay ko talaga yung mahihirap para ma-challenge ako. I am serious in finishing these books. Bigla kasi ako nagsawa sa mga YA. May phase talaga no?
