william gibson, i really really want to read neuromancer, where to get it.

Don't know if it's still in stock, but I saw a copy of Neuromancer in Kinokuniya KLCC last week.

Thats one cyberpunk classic you're talking about.

Anyone read Dean Koonzt? I'm tempted to start reading his books but so far I haven't found any at the local library. I don't intend to spend RM35 on an author I've never read.

marquis: hahah, cool man, I've only read one of the dragon lance series, but forgot which ones liao, heheh

I wonder if anyone has seen the Lone Wolf novels, i started from book 2, but it was quite nice, though i cannot it anywhere except for the 2nd hand shop near kotaraya, even then they don't have book #1 sad.gif

Another series i like alot is the robotech series, i watched bits and pieces of the series when it was last shown on local tv, but i liked what i saw and i liked what read tongue.gif. looking for the complete set, but cannot find it anywhere...

I didn't like Redemption of Athalus that much, cos of how the 'battles' went, every member with one enemy, the ending was quite that good i think, but that was 2 years ago, forgot liao tongue.gif


I've wanted to try micheal moorcock's books, but dunno which one to start with, anyone can recommend?

Anyone know where to rent newer fantasy books? currently the only place i know what still stocks up fantasy books is in SS2 (walk-in rent a book). I find reading at the book stores hard cos always get neck ache one, heheh

Hey bruised! You should really give Dragon Lance another read. It's really intense! biggrin.gif

asogan, ever heard of Payless Bookstore? They provide cheap books! The quality varies though. Some of the books are in pristine condition. While some have seen better days tongue.gif

The biggest chain so far is the one in Ampang Point biggrin.gif

If the book is freely available, or has since passed its copryright final date, then by all means share it. However if its books gotten thru illegal means (digital piracy), please do not.

A trip to borders revealed that book four of George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire is finally available in Malaysia. Its in hardcover and cost RM99, but you can get a 20% discount if you buy another item. I bought a newspaper.

Alas The Complete Calvin and Hobbes is not yet available.

Currently split between a few books

Terry Goodkind is actually good biggrin.gif Just finished the first book. Wizard's First Rule. It's a series (or something of that sort). I think it's called the sword of truth. Wanna buy the second book from Payless..But they don't have it. I might buy it from kino or something. A good blend of action and story line. The book is breath taking in many sense. The adventure. The story. The girl *wink*. One part in particular doesn't seem right for a fantasy book. Like something taken out of a romance novel instead sweat.gif But the book is a good read nonetheless.

Also reading the Recluce series by L.E Moddesit Jr. Quite a good read. Interesting character and magic system. Can be quite a bore to read at some points. But most of the time it's interesting enough. First book imo is better than the second. tongue.gif

After being so busy for the past week, I'm finally able to finish up this book ...

Title
Common Sense on Mutual Funds by John C. Bogle

Review
Basically, this book turns the whole MF industry inside out ... However, from the start of page one to the last page, Mr Bogle put alot of stress in the cost of the MF ... He explained in clear details what should investors and shareholder truly expects from mutual funds ... His words are exceptionally true and honest ... Generally, for those who are interested to get into MF, this is clearly the best book around to read up and to understand more about MF.

Lastly, through this book, this man has gained my full respect as during the last few chapters, he is telling his story about the founding of Vanguard and as well as his philosophy in life and in his business. A truly amazing individual.

hey... where did u get 'The Magicians' Guild' book? I couldnt find it in MPH previously but i didnt bother to ask for assistance biggrin.gif Izzit nice?

For beginner fantasy fans, I suggest the Inheritance trilogy by Christopher Paolini - 1st book is called Eragon, 2nd called Eldest which jz came out but no money to buy it cry.gif it costs rm70... btw, they've alr made the 1st book into a movie which is gonna be released nx yr... can't wait for it drool.gif

Another is the Bartimeous trilogy by Jonathan Stroud
