I don't read horror stories they give me a laugh why do you read them ?






don't know lol I just like reading stuff..almost anything..

there once a book which was prohibited in my country because of its very graphic and somewhat perverted (well, I think it was okay, maybe a bit off the mainstream, but people can be kinky..) sexual contents.. and one day I visited my relative's house and voila, there was that book lol..I still don't know why my relative had that prohibited book in her place, but ah well, there it was.. and I didn't know it was the banned book.. because I was only 8 years old back then.. I used to read lots of books on my relative's shelf..because she was a scholar and had quite a book collection.. another series I enjoyed back then from the book shelf was tokugawa ieyasu by yamaoka sohachi..
anyways..so I read the book and much later learnt that book was banned in my country..

..ah, and I just looked up it again and the book is still on the nation's banned book list..hmmmmmm
of course one can find it from old book stores or such..but no more new copies..I should ask my relative if she still owns the book and if yes, then I should read it again..


sorry about the digression -again- lol.. this always happens.. :s

i don't think so. i liked it but a lot of people don't. it's satire on the yuppie life style .

my fav book is this. i read it in 1 go and it's almost a thousand pages.



what's yours? (please don't say the alchemist.) 😄




yea I heard that there were lots of descriptions about luxurious brands and such in the book..reflecting the yuppie era back in the 80s.. .. I might give it a go..


I can't see the image.. lol what's the title of the book??


as for my favourite book.. it's hard to narrow down.. and I change lots.. I think this is the my favourite book..then half year later I would pick another.. and as the more I books as time goes on..the more changes..

haven't read the alchemist..but I've a book which was given by my friend..he recommended it and I have been trying to read it..but some how I just couldn't.. lol blame my short attention span!! :s
