I always thought this book would be a little heavy for my liking, I picked it up anyway... Since I finally got it in my hands, might as well read the whole thing. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.

I just hope I don't get too depressed by it. Hell, even The Catcher in the Rye gave me that hint of sadness. ><

BF!!!  

There isn't any substantial plot for it. The novel itself is just Holden's diary entry - how he viewed the world and people around him, things he went through and essentially, what one would experience if one were attempting to grow up too fast. 20++ pages through the book and I already adore the goddamn hypocrite. 

Catcher in the Rye is definitely not for everyone (not to mention linguistic wise, stuff is infested with informals/ american lingo). Maybe you couldn't relate to him and/or his journey?

I don't really see how one's level of maturity correlates to .. reading a classic. You don't need maturity to feel attached to a nonexistent fictional character whom you imagined to be oh-so good looking and cute.. *ahem*

Holden is definitely someone I can very much relate to at the current moment, which is why I enjoyed his story-telling so much. Anyway, it doesn't hurt to read it again.

No. Do you think it's worth buying? It's thin and expensive.

Reviewing that?? Gurllll... okay.. if I didn't forget la.. haha

I know what you mean.. Anyway, if you happen to flip through the book again, feel free to tell me your second impression of it.

To be honest, I'm still baffled that these books are part of the American Literature - books that teenagers like us are encouraged to read and then reflect upon. They're like so deep imo. I mean if you were to compare The Great Gatsby with The Curse for example, you'd think the latter one is something that belongs on a 9 year-old bookshelf. The fact that these fictional works translate to the truths that are happening in the real world, hence making them feel far more relatable and close, is what the hype is about to most Americans. We're fairly sheltered as an individual growing up in Malaysia. Eh, enough baffling.

I found the book at MPH... Good God, it's about RM65 for a paperback I think. *faints*

the secret 1,2,3

Currently reading John Green's The Fault in Our Stars.

add me here if you have a Goodreads account.

It's great! Have you been reading his books? This is my first..

Kinokuniya has all his books now, I think. They were displayed right in the entrance, that's how they caught my eyes.

I got a bit emo after reading this one.. think will need some time before i read his others

Where you from? I'm sure you can order from them or any other bookstores.

After all the hype,

I finally picked up Warm Bodies by Issac Marion. Basically in this post-apocalyptic zombie world, zombies who eat a human brain will somehow have the memories of said human retained in their zombie minds. The zombies in this book are different than your typical zombie, they have thoughts and a wee bit of humour. The story kinda flies off when R, le main zombie, falls in love with this girl.

I've been wanting a romance+zombie kinda thang..

kesian.. go online la.
