Just thought I would start this topic kse I sensed na maraming ring members ang forum who enjoy reading as a hobby. And as a reader to another reader may mga times na you would run out of things to read or authors to follow so here's somewhere where we can recommend a good reading material to our fellow members na mahilig din magbasa.

Please allow me to start:

Sa mga mahilig sa Harry Potter - here's another series you should try. The Bartimaues Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud (Book 1: The Amulet of Samarkand; Book 2: Golem's Eye; and Book 3: Ptolemy's Gate) Maganda ung books and it's written by another British writer, and for those who are not satisfied with how HP turned out who will love these books. It's everything HP shoulfd have been. Great final battle, great character developments.

For Anne Rice Fans: Please try to pick "Blood and Gold"

For Dan Brown : for those who haven't read "The Da Vinci Code" and "Angels and Demons" also try "Deception Point".

For those who love mafioso stories: Here's something hard to find but a real treasure "The Corsican" by William Heffernan.

 

Enjoy!

uhm..yung kay Mitch Albom.. Tuesday with Morrie..

kakalungkot yun pero inspiring..

sa mga mahihilig sa fiction..yung book ni Jenna Solitaire..yung mga Keepers..

kaso medyo rare na yun..sa may powerbooks lang ata meron yun..

Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman <3 - ang galing ng imagination ni Neil Gaiman >_<

Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton - bata pa ko favorite ko na to

Lost World by Michael Crichton - siyempre gusto ko din un kasunod

Yung tatlong Bourne books by Robert Ludlum, The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy at The Bourne Ultimatum <333 Napanood ko ung first two movies, wala siyang binatbat dun sa books. Well, ganda nga ng fight scenes pero ung movies kasi, hmm, imagine Harry Potter without Voldemort. Ganun siya. Ang galing galing ni Robert Ludlum <333

The Firm by John Grisham - Ang ganda din nito XDDD

Les Miserables by Victor Hugo - GALING!!! <333 

Siyempre The Lord Of The Rings <3 sobrang adik ako dito dati @_@

mahilig ako sa sci-fi na makatotohanan LOL labo >_< basta gusto ko ung mga books ni Michael Crichton tapos sarap din magbasa ng mga Robert Ludlum. hanggang ngaun pangarap ko pa ring maging spy!!! XD 

 Guys! Classics! Classics!

I recommend Somerset Maugham short stories, Novels by Jane Austen, Thomas Mann and the Bronte Sisters. (They are the pop literature during their times.) 

Currently reading Hawthorne's short fictions and a Gaiman/Pratchett Novel. :D  

tama, tama Harry Potter!!! XD

at syempre LE COMTE DE MONTE CRISTO!!! XD XD XD um, Count of Monte Cristo, hehe

i recommend the count of monte cristo too..

tas eto pa..

the little prince

the alchemist

rainman ba o rainmaker? basta ung kay john grisham..(actually halos lahat ng kay john grisham, kung mahilig kayo sa law and order thing..)

***saka ko na dadagdagan..gabi na..uwi na ko..^__^ 

mmm, the truth is ...mmm, im not much of a book worm however i do read some occasionally cover to cover everynow and then depending on the topics i like..however since i work in a related field i have ideas on various books hehehe...personally i would recommend ung five people you meet in heaven by mitch albom hehehe..that i read and also ung tuesdays with morrie...SOPHIE KINSELLA books are also a hit maybe someone would like to try them out hehehe, STEVE BERRY books are also good fictional books

Re: Sophie Kinsella - I was not a fan of chick lit before. I tried reading Confessions of a Shopaholic. Natrauma ako. That time kasi, medyo pabaya ako sa spending ko. The story in Confessions was horrifyingly close to the truth (although di naman umabot na puntong sinusulatan na ako ng bank manager, hehe), kaya di ko tinuloy ang pagbabasa! Pero natapos ko na din this year. Finally got the courage to read the book till the end. Haha! 

Eurydice:

nice thread shoujo_jen-san..  

 

Arigatou, Eurydice-san!

Maraming kasing readers on this forum kaya I thought of opening a thread about it. Saka I'm a big reader myself eh madalas I would run out of things to read. Been reading since I'm 11 years old and the passion is still quite alive...

This is just to add to the list of books for those Michael Crichton fans like myself: Eaters of the Dead (13th Warrior); The Great Train Robbery, Andromeda Strain, Congo, Prey, Timeline, Airframe and of course don't forget Rising Sun.

Here's another author that belongs to my all-time favorite David Morrell - he's an awesome writer and his genre is fiction...suspense-thrillers to be more specific. His books inside The Fifth Profession; The Covenant of the Flame; The Bortherhood of the Rose; The Fraternity of the Stone; The League of Night and Fog; Rambo; The Totem; etc. Needless to say I am in love with his author...LOL!

For maccabre readers: Syempre nandyan si Anne Rice and Stephen King.

 

 

@aoi29-san: mmm, rainmaker po hehehe, ung rainman po sa a  1980's film casting tom cruise and dustin hoffman hehehe...:-)

@maneki-san: hehe, yup maraming people enjoys chick lit pero kung me tatanungin mas maganda ung mdyo suspense thriller hehe, like STEVE BERRY and rmichael crichton hehehe..maganda rin po ofcourse mga stuff about WORLD AFFAIRS (naks, my category talaga hehehe)..the WORLD IS FLAT is maganda , PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS is maganda rin u can aslo compare the details in the movie hehehe...new age boos from the time to time i read interesting ones also...LOST TEMPLAR etc....

hmmm... hahhaa!! saya ng thread na to.. here goes my recommendations... n___n

ABNKKBSNPLKo, Bakit Baliktad Magbasa ng Libro ang mga Pilipino, Ang Paboritong Libro ni Hudas, Stainless Longganisa by Bob Ong <-- ewan ko.. sobrang na enjoy ko kasi sya.. babaw lang kasi.. i dunno.. na entertain nya ako ng sobra...

American Gods by Neil Gaiman <-- astig! americana, fantasy ek ek

By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept by Paulo Coelho <-- muntik ako ma convert nito pero buti na lang nde.. hehehe!!

The Book of Five Rings by Musashi Miyamoto <-- para sa mga nagbabalak maging samurai.. hehehe! joke lang.. parang The Art of War ni Sun Tze lang.. pero dahil biased ako sa mga japanese... hehehe!!

Sputnik Sweetheart by Haruki Murakami <-- mejo yuri pero.. what the heck! wahahaha!! gandang book to.. pramis!! n__n

Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom <-- very inspiring na book.. napaiyak ako nito..

A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks <-- super naka relate ako dito sa book na to... grabee... T___T

The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen <-- although story book sya for kids, it's a good book.. promise...

Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer <-- yaaannn.. nangarap ako maging katulad ni Artemis.. hahahaa!!!

yan lang muna po... heheheehe!! n_____n 

EDIT: i just realized.. this is my 100th post!! yaaaayyyy!!! hahahahaha!!!

 

 

@ akiya-san : The Lost Templar - was it good? I love these sorts of books.

@ ryuchi-san : The Book of the Five Rings - where can I get a copy of this? I have the Art of War and honestly, its a good book to use especially on management functions. But I am really curious about this one...mostly because of the author. He's famous! As a samurai that is..  And The Snow Queen, that's certainly a classic worth finding. Magbabasa ka rin pala ng Bob Ong works..he's good, satirical ang approach nya which is a good change.

hehe! got my copy from powerbooks.. pero mga 3 years ata ako naghintay.. kasi the one that was being sold back then was worth 1999Php.. hehee! so last week ko lang po nakuha yung copy ko and nakuha ko sya for 289Php.. heehee! good book.. hehehe!! yup! maganda po yung snow queen.. while I was reading nga I was thinking to myself na parang the story is too deep para maging childrens story book.. hehehe! n_____n

ryuchi-san: Snow Queen! Favorite ko rin to. It's so unlike the fairy tales we all grew up with. Mas "in your face" ang story. ^_^

Gusto mo pala si Haruki Murakami? I've read some of his books too (Sputnik Sweetheart included)...sadly, I'm probably in the minority. Di ko nae-enjoy ang stories nya kasi...make believe? I like the other Murakami, Ryu Murakami. ^_^

the book of five rings can be bought po sa Powerbooks..baka meron pa cila i suggest you visit them soon po hehehe(GREENBELT)..mmm, THE TEMPLAR LEGACY, HOLY BLOOD HOLY GRAIL is also good..but it depends sa type ng reader...specially like HOLY BLOOD HOLY HOLY GRAIL mdyo iba ang approach nya so...it depends po sa reader hehehe and kung type ung mdyo occult and dating
