1. One book that changed your life.
- The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. This book made me (even) closer to God. I thought I lost my faith.. but when I started reading it for 40 consecutive days with the use of the old mighty bible from my Tita's table..My life has changed. Also a lifesaver. I am not an accident and still trying to figure out what God had planned for me, who I truly am and who I'll become in his own likeness. Yehes. I may not be a Devout Catholic nor a full-pledged Christian, but I can say that I have my Faith and I'll live with it.
2. One book you have read more than once.
-J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in The Rye. and A Walk To Remember by Nicholas Sparks. The Catcher was like a book analysis back in High School (soo.. how many years ago?) ..Nevermind. I used to read it over and over.. yet again. haha! I think I've read it thrice. but I can't remember the storrrry. fuck that! All I know is I considered that as one of my favorite books.. I even wrote side comments on that little white book. And oh, i also encircled some words. ha,ha! Funny me. So, I think I hafta read this book again.
A walk to remember --I read that years before the movie was shown (Mandy Moore!). Jamie Sullivan and Landon Carter? and the miracles, huh? I loved the book. and the movie is quite different from what i've read. So eons after watching the movie, I read it again feeling ko kasi may namiss akong part eh.. yun, wala pala. iba lang talaga yung movie.
3. One book you would want on a desert island.
-The Valkyries by P. Coelho..the book was fine. I just thought of it because the cover of the book is a desert island. haha! Just kiddin. :-D It's not right to define a book by its cover. anyways.. Ano kaya? Okay, here's a better catch: Pablo Neruda's Literary works. I soo love Neruda. I want his compilation para ma-inspire ako to do something like ng ginawa niya.
4. One book that made you laugh.
-Bob Ong makes a lot of sense. Parang napapa-OO nga noh ako after with his dirty but real thoughts. ABNKKBSNPLK?
5. One book that made you cry.
- Hmmm.. still thinking.
6. One book you wish had been written.
- Dekada `70. I loved the freedom. Lualhati Bautista minces no worlds. Its a moving documentary. Every concerned citizen should read it! (as if i am)
7. One book you wish had never been written.
- Microbiology and Parasitology by oh-i-forgot-his-name. Like i was in hell when we were obliged to memorize innumerable viruses, bacterias, parasites, fungi, putaaaa. yeys! past is past.
8. One book you are currently reading.
- Love in the Time of Cholera. I was desperate, I know. Gabriel Marquez is supeeeeerb even dun sa Of love and other demons.
9. One book you have been meaning to read.
- Virgin Suicides, Zahir by Coelho or a Murakami book because it has been on my wishlist for way too long.
