assalamualaikum and hi...
it's been a while from the last update. i've been busy with a few normal things. work, study and fieldwork. i went to miri and bintulu for my MSc filedwork. okay enough of those things. let's just focus on what we should focus on..aite... :)
i bought a few books recently. 6 novels and 1 book on compilation of writing by a columnist. those novels are, new book by j.k rowling, casual vacancy, 1 is a bestselling novel the 100-year-old man who climbed out the window and disappeared by jonas jonasson, 3 book is a millenium trilogy by stieg larsson ( i bet you all know what it is), 1 book by haruki murakami (birthday stories) and last but not least is abiding times by tunku zain al'abidin muhriz.
okay those are the pictures. we should have pictures to decorate the post. ;)
right now, i'm reading casual vacancy first. maybe i'm a bit biased here. well, we all know who j.k rowling is. so i started with her book first. her book this time is different from harry potter series. this time, she wrote for adult reader. no more magic, no more spell, no more wizard school and no more lord voldermort. so that is another reason why i choose to read hers first. i'm not going to compare casual vacancy with her previous writing because those are different genre altogeteher. all i want to do is read.
the second book the 100-year-old-man who climbed out the window and dissappeared. i bought this book because of it was in top ten bestselling rack at the bookstore. biased again... :p
i read reviews on the millenium trilogy and all the the reviews gave 4 out 5 star for this trilogy. maybe i'm a bit late to know about this, but it is not too late to read those.
haruki murakami, i have no idea who he was. all i know is, his new book 1Q84 is everywhere. and i heard a conversation about this one girl has almost all of his pieces. so i just started with the compilation of thirteen short stories.
i have no reason why i bought abiding times. but i know i have to buy it. next time i will buy abiding times 2. for your information, tunku zain is a second son to Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan.
i think that's all for now. oh by the way, i finished 4 out of 6 laksamana sunan series. i skip book number four and finished number 5, number 6 not yet start. too many to read....
and i just remember that khaled hosseini (the kite runner, a thousand splendid suns) will be on a shelf this coming may. can't wait.
