bring home the bookworm

ummm, this is in response to a tag i've been given. dunno how this thing's sposed to work, so pardon me if i make a mistake, lolz. k gotta say something first...always been into books. by 'into' i mean hugely tremendously into them. 'avid reader' is the least thing you could say.

my total no of books (ones i actually own) is very few. me luv borrowin stuff from da lib which may/may not be a friend. evything else i got as e-books :)

last book i bought was 'boy's life' by robert r mccammon. absolutely awesome book.

last book i read was 'i moved your cheese' (again)

currently reading 'wizard's first rule' by tracy goodkind (pretty darn good so far)

5 books that mean a lot to me

1. the fountainhead (ayn rand) - need i even say anything?

2. the lord of the rings (jrr tolkien) - hubba hubba hubba

3. the talisman (stephen king and peter straub) - i'm fed up of hearing ppl say stephen king is yet another horror writer. i think this is gonna silence them if they would ever read it that is.

4. to kill a mockingbird (harper lee) - simply extraordinary

5. one hundred years of solitude (gabriel garcia marquez) - like i said, this is gonna change your opinion abt fiction as a whole

all hype, no substance
