Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
Haven't gotten far and long in it, but I'm loving it already. Excellent writing. Although I don't know if there's something from with the ebook copy I got, there are small (very small) portions of it in a foreign language. I assume it to be Russian. But it's not Russian alphabets. Any ideas?
Finished reading:
1) The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking
Excellent book for those who are questioning and will continue questioning. This is by no means a book to answer all your questions. But it will most definitely help you form better questions.
2) Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Another great book. I've watch the movie and the parody (Bride and Prejudice) a million times and absolutely love them. Even after being able to memorise both movies, this book still provided really good entertainment. Will definitely recommend it.
3) The Animal Farm by George Orwell
A little late in reading it, I remember my father bought us this book when we were just children. But finally, special thanks to my big brother, I've gotten my hands on it and my brain around it. It's surprising how well he wrote of life. It really is quite amazing. I particularly liked how the crow helped form the idea of a heaven which eventually caught on because of the hardship they were facing in this life. A book depicting communism, power games and religion, in my opinion.
4) See Night Run by D.W. St.John
I have no idea this book existed until I read it, and I don't regret it at all. I downloaded it just because it was free. I guess some times good things are do come easy. The writing style isn't one I enjoy much, too descriptive. It reminded me of the way I talk. But the story is excellent and well based. A controversial plot about the drug war.
5) Peter the Rabbit by Beatrix Potter
Shut up, I know this is a children's book. But I have never read it before, and I see no problem with reading it now. My only regret? I have no children of my own to read it to.

Currently Reading
One Time magazine after another. Catching up on lost time, if that is ever possible.
A magazine that is obviously pro-democrats and its news content insanely skewed to be American. Even the Asian issue that writes about South Korea is catered for the American perspective. Can we have a more international news magazine please?
Two times reading Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close later, I am still in love. The book is currently in Cheryl Saw's possession. I hope she doesn't spoil it -.-

Girls can wear jeans and cut their hair short, wear shirts and boots, because it's OK to be a boy.
But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading, because you think that being a girl is degrading.
