01.Aug.2007 Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami
I LOVE THIS BOOK! I really like Murakami’s style of writing. This is the first of his book that I read, for sure I will keep going to read all of his books. I guess if I were ever to write a novel, I would HOPE to write like him. It’s hard to explain what’s [...]
Princess by Jean Sasson
This is a true story of a royal princess in Saudi Arabia. A lot of things are very shocking for first time reader on this kind of issue. That’s why most probably it’ll grab your attention from beginning till the end. For myself the book opens my eyes on culture, society, and issues so far [...]
The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan
The first book from Amy Tan. It’s collection of stories about mother daughter relationships (four pairs to be exact :). Again, I feel it’s so captivating by each and every word. It’s like magic, fairy tale, and reality put together. I wish I could put all the quotes that caught me here, but then I [...]

I Kissed Dating Goodbye by Joshua Harris
A book full of controversy is always interesting. That is what I can say about this book. I admit I was also caught up by the hype and the ever controversial title (Have I told you that title of a book is very important?). Not to mention the sense of mystery of the (assumed) handsome [...]
The Dream Giver by Bruce Wilkinson
Are you living your dream? Or just living your life? Welcome to a little story about a very big idea. This compelling modern-day parable tells the story of Ordinary, who dares to leave the Land of Familiar to pursue his Big Dream. Book that came at the right time for me! =D A lot of [...]
Falling Leaves by Adeline Yen Mah
Falling Leaves: The Memoir of an Unwanted Chinese Daughter is a true story of an unwanted Chinese daughter (as per title ;). The family is one of the richest in Hong Kong, who migrated from mainland China. I have to give this book a 4 stars, just because of the extra ordinary journey that the [...]
Life of Pi by Yann Martel
This story will make you believe in God This one line from the book that made me so curious about what’s in it. The fact that I didn’t know what to expect and had no idea where the story would bring us until about 1/3 of the book threw nice surprises at me. (The copy [...]
The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pick-Up Artists by Neil Strauss
The Game tells a true story about the society of pick-up artists, men who devote their time (and almost entire life) to seducing women. Most of which come as an AFC (Average Frustated Chump) and then build their way through seminars, online forums, and field trainings, in hope to become a PUA (Pick-Up Artist). Neil [...]
A Child Called It by Dave Pelzer
The author was emotionally and physically abused by his own mother as a child, and this is his story. Weird thing is that the mother only abused him and not his other brothers, which left me wondering up until now, WHY? It’s never discussed in the book. I’m guessing that he himself doesn’t know the [...]
