Rhonda SG It's the month to wrap-up the whole year and the month to party and for some of us, the time to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas! Amidst all the flurry of activities, don't forget to pick up that book and read too! This month, I'm reading two books. I'm STILL reading this children's book at leisure : And I've just bought this and am reading it now : So, what are YOU reading this month? [/img]
Rhonda SG Soon, I wish to read these : My word, this is an AMAZING, truly wonderful book on the ocean and the life in it with tons of breathtaking shots! And, this book, "We Want Real Food", written in conjuction with the revolution in the UK started by Jamie Oliver with his TV show on School Dinners. It's one of those books that exposes what the food industry is doing. Somehow, couldn't find that title in Amazon's archives.
Fatum SG I'm ploughing through Anil's Ghost by Michael Ondaatje .... best known for his "English Patient" I suppose ...
MooKu SG mmm u all read a lot i didn't finish the murakami i was reading last month... now i'm reading "Tess of the d'Urbervilles" and i've been stuck at chapter three ever since early december
jaydunkfull SG reread dan brown's books, read the messiah code by michael cordy, its really good. currently reading michael crichton's state of fear as highly recommended by a friend but the beginning is draggy cant get into the story anyone has good reads to recommend?
SBS3625D SG Come to think of it…...the only things I’m reading are: newspapers and TIME magazine. Haha…..... never knew myself to be so boring.
Rhonda SG Tess of the d'Urbervilles?! I had to do that for 'S' Paper and I loved it! Have you read the poem, 'Tess' Lament' composed by the author himself after he'd finished writing the book? It's soooo sorrowful, it tears you apart reading it and I used to cry each time I read it. Loved it soooo much I even put it up on my ol' webpage a long long time ago! Maybe, if I can still find it, I'll PM you the url! Update : OK, found Tess' Lament for you on another webpage! Get some tissues before reading it! You were warned! Tess' Lament
Fatum SG I just finished Anil's Ghost ... *points up .... and on cold lonely nights like these ... I like to read something tragic ... something romantic Han Suyin's A Many Splendoured Thing ..... my copy's tattered from years of re-reading ... but this book never fails to move me ...
Rhonda SG Looks like you're seeking someone to help keep your bed warm. In the meantime, there's nothing like cuddling up to a good book in bed, not comparable, but oh well, as the Hokkien saying goes, bo hee hare ah ho! (No fish, prawn also can!)
Fatum SG ........ it's not someone I seek ... but the ONE .... but go dig out Han Suyin's works ... it's truly truly worth it ... she's one of the best Asian writers I've ever read (though she's actually eurasian) ....
viciouskitty74 SG Its called: Star Sapphire Written by Han May. Gist of the story is that a young lady in future, wents out to space to work on a Starliner. Marooned on a plant with the man she loves and eventually returning to her time via the same black hole that maroons her. Incidently, she was marooned and married her man 9 years earlier. Time travel story. However, written by a local Singapore writer. I find her idea of telling that story by not forcing on religion, by claiming the Christian faith is called "The Mind" and the followers "believers" somewhat of a correlation to Buddhism teachings. In the book, there is concepts of deja vu, time travel and Heaven/Gods's/fate at work. A interesting and non intimidating read. This book is no longer in print. Does anyone knows how to reprint that book?
