Aaw you know what, next time I go back to Indonesia, I’ll pass a couple of books to you. It’s easier for me to get cheaper books here!

Well the movie version of BoP had made it to my list of all time fav movie…so I know the book will not my kind of reading coz I love thriller and suspense…and never read any romance in my life…but the ovie really intrigues me to do it.

Yeah…you are so right!! most library are filled with translated book, I enjoy reading the original version. The only library I enjoy a lot is JF Library (Japan Foundation)…there, I feel in heaven…but only Japanese Author heaven :)

Novroz, to be honest Breakfast on Pluto doesn’t sound like something I’d like, but I just checked that the book was shortlisted for Booker Prize in 1998. Mmm interesting. Too bad Indonesia doesn’t have good libraries with English books. I imagine it’d be very difficult to find the book there.

Hey this sounds like an interesting challenge…but it’s going to be difficult the book, finding the movie is much easier.

I love this movie called Breakfast on Pluto…I really want to read the book but I don’t know where to look for it.

Oh yeah Indonesian and Malay have a lot of common words for sure. But I know that Indonesians generally understand more Malay than the other way around, because Malay is like older version of Indonesian, and therefore has a lot less slank :D. We speak faster too.

Great, so my intuition is right about Q&A. I’ll just watch Slumdog Millionaire then. I like Ishiguro too and would look for more of his works. Never Let Me Go was memorable for sure. Interestingly, I didn’t like The Road too. If I have only a couple of words to explain it, it would be repetitive and boring. The premise is excellent, really! But it was so awfully repetitive.

I have added your blog to my reader so will know when you have new posts. I look forward to them!
