Istoryan Readers: Book reviews and recommendations~

Hey ive been contemplating on that book strat60, is it really good?

@ samokan: If you like "Historian", i guess you would also appreciate "The Romanov Prophecy and Templar Legacy by Steve Berry. Â*

@ weedmeister2: WoW! what a collection? "I've been looking for "POEMS by E.A.Poe" same edition as yours since time immemorial and i just can't find it. I'm an avid fan of Edgar Allan Poe's poems. It's just so dark bordering to insanity.

[samokan]

@strat60, ill take your word for it, ill buy it as soon as i can go to a bookstore ..

[weedmeister2]

@ samokan... don't be, there's so much opportunity to grab books everywhere, you'd be surprised how easy it is to accumulate all of these... hhehe (i don't mean stealing... although to be honest i've pilfered a few books in my time... hehehe)

@ strat60... really? you won't believe me, but i grabbed this book in RSO... you know, that small used book shop in ayala before... dunno if it's still there tho... got it for like 200 or 300 bucks... what a steal! sometimes some great books get through their screening, although quite rarely... you just have to be persistent in searching... :mrgreen:

i can have all WEEDS collection in just a matter of megabytes

[samokan]

@weed yup i always go there before, i did find a lot of treasure there. though limited ra akong budget before so usually paperback editon lang akong ma afford. Ive completed my piers anthony collection because of that store from 10 -100pesos.

@tolstoi.. yup me too but for real book lovers those are not considered books

[strat60]

@weedmeister2: nice catch! :mrgreen: i have also a collection of books mostly 1st editions but not that extensive yet. I concentrate more on CD's.

@samokan: tell me then how do you find the book. :mrgreen:

keep on reading!

[samokan]

@strat60 unsa nga book? ang piers anthony's ?

[Gwynhuever]

@strat60 - yup i am currently reading The Historian and liking it a lot :mrgreen: I went to the library this afternoon but they did not have a copy of The Romanov Prophecy...so I got The Third Secret na lang from the same author....and i have read all of John Grisham's novels ...so I will definitely check out Richard North Patterson's from now...

@samokan - sis wala sad sa shelves tong Incarnations of Immortality...but i got Shame of Man from Piers Anthony....

@weed - kanyahay rang kahutz ta...parehas man ta ug bisyo :mrgreen: Akong nahan bro is to collect old books...rare books....kanang books nga inig abli nimo ma smell nimo ang kakaraan...dili smell of molds and agup-op ha kay smell of decay man na from books nga wala gi take care....i mean the smell of really old books....pero unsaon akong hubby di jud ganahan ug clutter / collection....when i moved to his place lipay ayo akong friends kay gi panghatag nako akong books.....no choice man sad ko kay i used to live in Japan...nya balhin to US....lisod man bitbiton tanan....sometimes i feel bad...kay tungod sa akong ka wanderlust ....dili jud puede mag collect...kay mabiyaan....

anyway i am very happy i found this thread ...kay i am learning about new authors and widening my interests.....

[samokan]

@gwyn, I have not read that book of his yet.. though I've read his Xanth series.

yeah me too.. am loving this thread

[strat60]

@ samakon: i was referring to "Romanov Prophecy". But anyway, i've heard about Piers Anthony but i have never read yet his books. I guess it's worth checking out though, right?

@ Gwynhuever: It's googd to hear that you like it. As i've said, for legal thrillers, nothing beats Richard North Patterson.
