Istoryan Readers: Book reviews and recommendations~

[splendid moonlight]

---

try as i might, cujo!!!, the only energy i can see are the ones that are at the tip of my fingers. but that's a beginning! and yeah, i try to treat my younger sisters differently now. it's a really useful book. but i couldn't seem to capture my childhood. i don't know much about my father. sheyts! i do have to remember him so i'd know where to go. right? *sigh* a must read indeed. and i must read it again. and maybe make a summary of all the insights. himuon na gyud ni nakong career hehehe.

hey, cujo! fancy u and me trying to extend our energies towards each other! and see if we can actually see it. hehe. never you mind. i just love what the characters in that book can do.

[CuJo!!!]

Hey luthienne, there was also this bit about energies being exchanged during conversations, remember?? It was said that a person who frequently interrupts another during conversation is actually draining the other persons energy... Im not sure if i remember it correctly though.. Anyway, it's a really good book..


ayt..

hey, has anybody read any john sandforth "Eyes of Prey", "Silent Prey".. It's like reading Thomas Harris.. The "prey" series involves this anti-hero cop and a serial killer who happens to be a pathologist.. I forgot the name of the villain, but here's what makes him interesting, he picks his victims randomly and sedates them and lays them on a table. He then tapes their eyelids open and proceeds to kill them slowly... He stares at the pupils of the victims until they breath their last... The killer is intent of finding through the victims eyes what really happens at the exact moment of death.. Really cool huh?? All his recent findings, he publishes in a medical journal... Doesn't he remind you of hannibal lecter Anyway, i want to read it again... Just don't have the friggin time..

peaceout..

anything by dan brown: angels & demons, the da vinci code, deception point and digital fortress. he pretty much uses the same formula in all his thrillers but each story is really unique and you'll LOVE how he weaves his sub-plots through

Jeffrey Eugenides' VIRGIN SUICIDES ..... it's very hard to find, i borrowed a copy from a friend and havent finished yet ....... im looking for a copy everywhere...happy hunting nalang..... na a hinu on available sa internet.... worth it

yeah **** man. i REALLY wanna read the book AND see the movie... anybody seen Lost in Translation already?

* for LOTR fans, try reading The Silmarillion, it's still by Tolkien and it relates the history of th elves and stuff.. it can get confusing, but i swear, one of the best books i've read

* Ayn Rand fans unite! This woman is just amazing, so far i've read The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged... awesome dude. though her ideas are a bit far off and too utopian to be adapted in reality, it's interesting too see a different point of view on altruism and egoism. See, society, through conditioning, has inculcated in us that egoism is wrong and altruism is a noble deed. But her book preaches the exact opposite and you'd be surprised how much she makes sense

* if you like poetry, pablo neruda can just crush your heart... specialy his poems of longing. kahlil gibran is THE man with his The Prophet

* if you'd like to read on predictions, edgar cayce (the sleeping prophet) has had interesting things to say, while linda goodman's SunSigns will surprise you because it can tell you so much about yourself and the people around you

* robert ludlum never fails to disappoint.. matarese circle, the bourne series, etc.

there's so much more i'd like to write but i hafta go back to work so till next!

rich dad, poor dad -- i'm halfway through it. it makes sense y'know, but i'm thinking how the hell am i gonna make money work for me and employ smart people to earn the money for if i don't have capital?! specially now that... ah basta. and besides, i'm too artsy fartsy to be a businesswoman

gabriel garcia-marquez -- you're right, very very eloquent and quiet and soft. hundred years of solitude was wonderful, but i liked love in the time of cholera better

memoirs of a geisha -- shit i didn't finish! there was such a long line to borrow it from my friend, that i just cut in for a few hours and read a fourth of the book. i'm so pissed because far as i got, it was just awesome

tuesdays with morrie -- it was cool, but i guess i'm just couldn't buy morrie's i'm-so-at-peace-with-the-fact-im-dying-and-shriveling thing....

paolo coelho -- the alchemist was just perfect. simply written but it had a strong message, beautiful setting, i could almost see the desert and the oasis and stuff. it was absolutely great

celestine prophecy -- haven't read this one.. it's nice bitaw? i'm so excited! hahaha

dune series by frank herbert -- this is so hard to find! my cousin mickey tells me, if i loved LOTR so much (since high school!), then i'd like the dune series even more. something about a spice (it was tantamount to gold) produced by a worm... it even has a movie daw... where can i find this??

bridges of madison county -- it's so funny coz at first it was so-so then i started crying and crying (we're talking bawling, with snot dripping from nose! hahaha) and family couldn't understand why and they kept asking and i couldn't explain coz it was just so ****ing sad. grabe. leaves you speechless.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach -- it's funny because it's actually about a seagull named Jonathan and it's so interesting because it's about struggling to perfect his craft, and somehow it touched on religion and heaven being a state of being... basta nindot gyud

** hay like i said, diri nalang sa ko kay mutrabaho nako. sorry ninyo ha... coz i just get really excited about books, ask my friends, i force them to read stuff! hahaha they don't read much man gud so i guess i can't vent... sheez.
