maiden post

shld start writing instead of talking to myself... going bonkers at 25 is not a very gd sign...

read Trisha's blog today and decided to do this as well... super spurred on... haha!

1. One book you have read more than once
-Jane Eyre (Charlotte Bronte)
Ok..ok.. so this was a school text I had to read for the A levels but my dad had actually bought it for me when I was still in primary school.. so imagine the number of times I actually read it! But this book is good... You have to admit it.. all the drama, the love for an older, married man, the mad (ex-) wife... classic script for soap drama!

2. One book you would want on a desert island
The Quran is not exactly a book... and I must be all clean to read it which is quite impossible when I'm out of fresh, clean water and sanitary...
so the book... hmmm.. let me see... wld be a How-To book... probably.. How To Make Fire, Hunt For Food, Build A Shelter... a 3-in-1 version...

3. One book that made you laugh
-Bridget Jones' Diary
I only read this after I saw bits of the movie and I thought it was hilarious!

4. One book that made you cry
-The Kite Runner by Khaled Hoseini
This book is fantastic! Best book I have read by far! Just how the story unfolds and how the child is finally emancipated... I am against paedophile through and through... coupled with the nastiness of the Taliban regime, this book really tugs at my heartstrings. It is so good and am so moved by it that i refuse to read it again, fear that I will break down again.

5. One book you wish you had written
-He's Not That Into You
Why? Cos after reading this book, I realised I had experienced (almost) all the jerk lines from the jerks! I have the experience (and expertise) and yet I remain naive! Got this book only to use it to slap myself (a number of times.. ouch!)... Foolish me!

6. One book you wish had never been written
-Night by Elie Wiesel
I wish the whole Holocaust didn't even happen so that Night and other books of the same genre/topic won't even surface! The atrocities of war, of ethnic cleansing... intolerable and shameful!

7. One book you are currently reading
-You Can Never Win a Fight With Your Boss
ok.. i really need to know how to get arnd.. esp after moving away from my comfort zone and going into a new workplace, with new ppl and new boss (though she looks and speaks better than my previous one!)
Useful tips to get by wrk and be looked upon positively! *cross fingers*

8. One book you have been meaning to read
(or trying to finish reading)
-East of Eden (John Steinback)
this book.. super thick, super descriptive... but great stimulant for the brains... and also, ironically, the reason why i never get round to finishing it.. haha!

9. One book that changed your life
-Eleven minutes (Paulo Coelho)
I have nothing in common with the protagonist but this book... great.

Fill up your own version of this meme and share so that I can also get hold of the books which you have enjoyed!
