I second that. A fun and enjoyable read. The sequel Red Seas Under Red Skies is on my TBR shelf.

Just finished Neil Gaiman's contribution to World Book Day, Odd and the Frost Giant. A nice, short read (it's only 96 pgs). Fans of Gaiman can get it at Kinokuniya for RM 1.

Currently reading Bewoulf (Seamus Heaney translation) and God's Demon by Wayne Barlowe.

I was informed Red Seas Under Red Skies will feature pirates and some in-house casino gambling elements. I am planning to pick it up someday. Is the third book, The Republic of Thieves due this year? Anyone?

How good is Bewoulf anyway? It's a movie tie-in novel right?

Say, does anyone have any thoughts on the Dark Materials Trilogy?

Haha, sorry for my questions, I'm deciding which book to read next apart from Warcraft novels.

Republic of Thieves has been pushed back to March 2009 as Scott Lynch was late in turning in the manuscript.

Pretty good. I'm actually reading the translation of the poem that the movie is based on, not the movie tie-in novel.

Awww what? Time to conjure up some Forgotten Realms/Discworld until the time comes

Anybody read The Innocent Man by John Grisham? Oh, and I'm planning on going Tom Clancy in the future

James Patterson? Fiction or non-fiction? How good is he?

Anybody read The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini? There are two different version of this book? Planning to get one soon...

Avid book reader here. Just found this thread. Am loving it

I just bought like 25 books for about RM125 in buld, including authors like John Grisham and Dan Brown, among others. Due to work I've only finished 3 in a month. I loved Anchee Min's Empress Orchid. Will probably read it again later.

Some of the titles are not to my liking though, like Autobiography of Hillary Clinton, ect. I also have a lot of books that I peobably won't read again like Tom Woolf, ect. I wonder if you guys ever organize a book swapping meet? What I have may be your treasure. Selling off books is way to tiresome. Just a thought.

Well, any feedback appreciated.

25 for RM125 is a good bargain. Any Tom Clancy's in ther by any chance . John Grisham is good, I'm reading his book "The Innocent Man" at the moment.

The Innocent Man? Is that nice? I was wondering whether to buy it yesterday when i was at MPH. In the end i bought "The Secret" by Rhonda Bryne and "Screw It, Let's Do It" by Richard Branson. Btw "The Secret" is on 20% discount now.

there's been a lot of fuss about 'the secret' and I've yet to read it, so do review when you've read it

Now I'm reading The last Juror by John Grisham. It's quite nice, standard Grisham novel

Currently busy for my coming test and assignment submission. Don't have time to read it. Maybe during my trimester break i will read it.

The Innocent Man is a pretty good book by itself which tells the sad true story of how poorly and unfair a criminal justice system is executed in a small town in the outskirts somewhere in America. Any thoughts on your part on The Secret?

Good day,

Woho .. finally found the book section.

The secret is an awesome book. I didn't buy the book instead i bought the audio book. I bought it from Times @ Pavilion. Once you finish reading this i recommend Michael Losier The Law of Attraction and The Key (can't remember the author)

Read it awhile back, it's an excellent book and well worth reading.

What do you mean two different versions? Are you referring to the cover?

Wonder if anyone else here enjoys the bathroom reader series as much as I do?

Much to my amazement this thread came back alive

The Secret, I seen this book on Amazon but was hesitant to buy it as the review wasn't that good. To folks who have read this, how do you find this book?

I have just got two new books recently, Microtrends and Tipping Point.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microtrends-Forces...09149797&sr=8-1

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tipping-Point-Litt...09149806&sr=8-1

I am currently reading tipping point, just a fifth through it, but find the book quite interesting where it examines why a trend is what it is.

Some other books I have in mind to buy, once I have finished these two books are Tolstoy's War and Peace (<- Still thinking since I'm not a huge fan of novel) and Predictably Irrational, which seems interesting enough.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Predictably-Irrati...09150112&sr=1-1

Oh by the way, I have read this book quite a while back but just in case some one missed it, The World is Flat by Thomas L Friendman is a fantastic read.

Just finished reading NET GAIN... really awesome, conceptual yet technical, makes a lot of sense as well as explained lotsa different approach to international marketing...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Net-Gain-Expanding...09208494&sr=1-1

I've heard of Microtrends. Is it nice?

To say this is a conceptual book would be an understatement, it's more of a spiritual book that talks about the law of attraction - Good thoughts attract good results (so just be positive) I find it a little contradicting because I thought opposites attract?

Well, juz my 2 cents...
