@Jabanero: 1984 is pretty interesting, since im done with "A Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley, this was was recommended to me.
Aw not into science fiction i see? i'm in love with Isaac Asimov's works! "The foundation Trilogy" is the cream of the crop for me when it comes to space sci -fi genre. I robot (book>movie but Will Smith did well) is also good along with his other short stories.

As you can guess, I'm more of a fiction type of person, not into autobiographies but i guess it all depends on the prose, how the book keeps me interested long enough. For now, eyeing on Japanese Literature, like those of Yukio Mashima, Mushashi, Soseki etc, btw if any one has a Yukio Mashima copy(any book), pls, pls. let me borrow since my .pdf file is corrupted

Haven't tried Asimov yet. Will add him on my to-read books hehe... I've read 1984, Animal Farm, and A Brave New World a long time ago. They're pretty good.

@ joseph: no problem, you guys can return it when fully satisfied! I'm confident it's in good hands. Thanks pud for the short play by Bolt and Fyodor Notes.

@sevmik: Thanks for the Stardust! enjoying it more than i expected. Just msg lang when you want it back.

@sol_Itaire: I think im gonna try non-fiction now when im done with the ones i currently have.

Mine too was borrowed and unfortunately never returned. This was the book that got me started in reading Milan Kundera's works. This was made a movie during the late 80's.. Daniel Day Lewis was the lead actor (I think).

Daniel Day Lewis and Lena Olin, I think. I had a huge crush on Olin when I saw the film Mr. Jones (which starred Richard Gere) a long, long time ago

I have the book. I can bring it next meet up.

@Hanskie: Okay, thanks! Enjoy them also... Although you might find Notes From Underground a bit challenging and trying. Challenging because the first part of the book basically consists of the main character's monologue, which is very philosophical and long-winded, and trying because he is very cynical, rude, and offensive. But it is very well-written, I think, and there's something to be learned from it too.
