US$ 159063.74 for a first edition of "The Hobbit" thats roughly 8.1 million pesos for a book that cannot even be called a relic or illuminated or whatever those century old books are called... GRABEHHHHHH....

mau ni akong ginagmayng collection ay....napun-an na nag gamay, hinay-hinay ba...
recommended na nako tanan......




....and if you like to read a book about an adventure of a guy who is so cocky, yet he knows what he's doing, and pretty good at it....grab a Lee Child novel, and read it of courseÂ*

[strat60]

@GwynHuever: you're quite fast. You finished two books in just a matter of how many days. Hope you enjoyed it. :mrgreen: By the way, i've heard about "God without Religion", is this really good?

I'm presently reading Philip Roth's The Plot Against America. It has very good reviews, so i'm giving it a try.

[Gwynhuever]

@strat60...yeah i can go through books like crazy....i go to the library at least twice a week and my husband always looks at the bag with books and say "you have half the library with you".....I recommended God Without Religion to samokan because we both frequent the religion discussions ani nga forum...nya kay mga liberal and non conformists man mi he he he...it is interesting....bridges the gap between organized religion and spirituality for anyone questioning traditional dogma....pero depende lang kay ang uban man gud staunch supporters of organized religion so ....*shrugs*

Currently reading Diary by Chuck Palahniuk and Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman.

@gwyn, salamat sa recommendation.. daghana na nako og basahonon ani oi.. and you are reading Anansi?? nice.. its the prequel of American Gods so i think you will like it..

[strat60]

i'm also dig books which deal with the irregularities/anomalies of certain religions. By the way, in case you haven't read Mario Puzo's "The Family" yet, give it a try. It's all 'bout Rodrigo Borgia who then became Pope Alexander VI. Some critics believed that Mario Puzo's Corleone Family was actually based from Borgia's family. :mrgreen:

[samokan]

it's the same mario puzo who wrote the "the godfather" right?
there is'nt another mario puzo?

[gossamer]

yah.... the same mario puzo.
