..of books

i just done reading 'the curious incident of the dog in the night-time' and seriously friends, it was a SPLENDID one. not that am gona review the book here coz typically i would do that on my multiply, but i just wanted to share the excitement tonight. am telling u , that this is the second book that actually had me holding a pencil and a piece of paper just to actually doing the puzzles together. the first most interesting (as in had me holding a pencil and a piece of paper) book that had me doing that was The Code Book . if u enjoy doing and understanding puzzles of all degrees, then get this 2 books. this is where u understand puzzles. they are not the puzzling puzzles books. hence my book of cryptograms does not count. :D

i just got back from a friend's place where i was watching (read:in and out of sleep) Sweeney Todd. i saw he had Fight Club there, hence i borrowed and i intend to watch it again tonight. to refresh my memories of the film and to grasp each and every word and emotion of the story after completing the novel last month. Fight Club yg cool itu was written by Chuck Palahniuk.

Now, i think i should be searching for A Clockwork Orange , for same reasons stated above. I got to tell you that i actually watched the movie first before i was aware that it was an adaptation from a book written by Anthony Burgess. Hence, i think i've understood the story better after reading the book, which was seriously captivating and gets u thinking more than your normally do while reading (all because u need to translate all the slovos used. hence, u droogs out there, go grab them both, the book and the movie.) and i think i should re-read the book for the fun of it. (owh yes azni, right after i'm done with another 10 other new books. hahaha)



selamat membaca semua. mari kita membentuk statistik membaca terbaru rakyat Malaysia tahun ni. (hmm, speaking of that, i realized i wanted to bitch about that kempen membaca and why it fails. but i guess not tonight la. am feeling hungry plak.)

I read Anthony Burgess' The Malayan Trilogy and decided that I should get A Clockwork Orange too. His wit is addictive.

chech: At last! Heheh.

Sure. Anthony Burgess' The Malayan Trilogy for Fiqa for 2009. 1 buku 1bulan is indeed an achievement for people with career. This month, I'll complete 2 books. Tapi, buku PTK lah. Heh.
