About to finish reading Gombrich's Story of Art. Gonna read Gerald Elias' "Devil's Trill" next.

Yes Is More - An Archicomic on Architecture Evolution

(Yes, it's a comic on architecture!!)

White by Kenya Hara. Very philosophical approach of perception of the colour white. Rarely read books of this sort but I find this interesting.

Finished reading The Red Room by Nicci French

Current reads: Warren Buffet's biography (heavy reading) and Malaysian lawyer, Chris Tan's Green Sugar Merchant (light reading)

The Evolution of Inanimate Objects: The Life and Collected Works of Thomas Darwin (1857-1879)

Humour cleverly built upon Charles Darwin's theories

Just Take My Heart by Mary Higgins Clark. Mystery/thriller genre.

The writings by this authoress is rather formal. Not sure if it's because of the era. I feel the conversations between the characters are quite proper.

The Doll's House by Tania Carver

Crime/thriller genre. I'm trying to set aside reading time an hour or more before I sleep and hopefully go through more books

Nice to know you read in the lrt too! I don't commute often but the few times I do, I'd be reading in the lrt and sometimes I wonder if it's strange for me to do this cos everyone else is looking at their phones instead o.O

So far lrt and brt is alright for me. Ktm is like random schedule. Rapidbus few years back, my first experience was also my last! Totally uncomfortable experience. But I hear they upgraded the buses and the system. Is it still the same?

The Essential Teachings of Zen Master Hakuin

I've always been interested in the Japanese Zen philosophy in their aesthetics and how 'white space' and 'nothingness' has a purpose and meaning.

Just borrowed Stephen King's 'Under the Dome' and Roslan Jomel's 'Selamat Datang ke Malaywood' from Perpustakaan Raja Tun Uda. It's nice to see they are bringing in new titles lately

Will start on them after I finish reading this book on Chronotherapy (halfway through it)

Update: 3rd June, reading Under the Dome. It's really really good!

I've not read Richard Laymon. I'll look out for his books. Which title is most suspense? xD

Recently finished reading 'Yasmin How You Know' which consisted of short and witty anecdotes by Yasmin Ahmad's family, colleagues and friends about her. I absolutely love her after reading this!

Currently reading 'The Stuff You Can't Bottle' - advertising book.

Next read: Harper Lee's 'To Kill a Mockingbird'.

Haha okay. I'll try to start with those two titles first since it makes you feel can't put down.

One of my favourite childhood classics I read the abridged version in primary school then discovered the unabridged one later.

Currently reading My Name is Red by Orhan Pamuk. I started this last year actually but put it aside after a few chapters for another book Now giving it my full attention. Murder mystery during the age of Turkish illumination. c:

I think Jo was my favourite too. She's the eldest and the sensible one right?

Hehe this murder story is different from the usual murder/thriller/crime genre. If you've read Asian writers, especially Middle Eastern ones, their style of writing is very poetic. Sometimes it feels lengthy when they're describing one thing in a few pages but very rich in imagery on the other hand.

Currently re-reading 'Gunn's Golden Rules' by Tim Gunn and 'Mentaliti Jamban' by Khairul Abdullah. Targeting to finish reading by this weekend as they're both easy reads

Finished:
The Girl With All The Gifts : M R Carey

Still on list:
Mentaliti Jamban : Khairul Abdullah
Gunn's Golden Rules : Tim Gunn
Invisible : Paul Auster

Current read: Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas by James Patterson. His diversion to love (romance and family in one)

Finished reading: Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas (James Patterson). The diary entries and tone were written plainly and there was some feels toward the end of the diary. Overall story ended on a happy note. A simple and sweet story.

Current read: Stephen King's Skeleton Crew
Collection of his short stories.

Current read: The Art of Thinking Clearly by Rolf Dobbelli
