Thanks to Mushem for something to fill my blog.. heh


1. How many books do you own?

A lot.I love books and everytime i go to a carboot sale, the only thing i look for are cheap books. Sometimes I dont even need to buy them.. I got lotsa book angels who are willing to lend me or give me books theyve read.. and im so thankful for that
But i dont think the books i have can fill up a cabinet or anything.. erm.. okeylah maybe a small cabinet.

2. What is the last book you bought?
The Family Way by Tony Parson
Got it on sale at The Curve.


3. What is the last book you read?
The last book i read was The Family Way but im in the middle of The Glass Palace by Amitav Ghosh. Its quite good but since its kinda thick its taking me a long time to read.. ( tapi nowadays i do take time in reading books .. i sometimes take an average of one month per book - depending on the number of pages)


4. Five Books which mean a lot to me.
erm.. alamak this is kinda hard.. Ive read a lot of books and some have made me think of certain issues.. but there are also books which didnt really have any impact on me but made a good read.. so heres five which fall under both categories

1) Da Vincci Code - Dan Brown
I loved this book so much i read all of his other books..too bad the others werent as good as this one.

2) I Wonder How She Does It - Allison Pearson
I never got around to finish this one coz asyik dok berebut dgn orang lain. In the end i decided to start reading The Glass Palace. Still, eventho i only read half of it.. i know its a good book to read.. ( was recommended by many)

3) The Namesake - Jhumpa Lauri
The authors name is already intriguing.This book made me think about certain issues like living abroad.. about remembering your roots and all that..Great read..

4)Lucky - Alice Sebold
I can actually feel the pain.. the suffering of the character in the book. Never have i read about a rape which was so descriptive yet didnt seem offensive to the reader yet it left a very lasting effect, feeling.

5) Falling leaves - Adeline Yen Mah
Cant remember the synopsis.. but i remembered that it was good.



5. Tag five others... and that five people are:
Eermm... anyone who reads this and has a blog and has the time to do it..heh..
