Back to Reading

Below is a list of my criteria in reading novels:

1. Recommended by my close friends
2. With movie adaptation
3. Commercially popular

Books that I own that fall on this criteria:

1. A Walk To Remember - very first book that I bought. I had this after watching the film starring Mandy Moore

2. LOTR Series (The Hobbit, Fellowship of the Ring, Two Towers, Return of the King) - got hooked with Legolas and Aragon in the motion picture that I decided to buy the whole set with their faces as covers hehehe and up until now, I only finished reading The Hobbit and Fellowship of the Ring ;))

3. Dan Brown's Books (Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons, Deception Point, Digital Fortress) - due to curiosity, I bought and read Da Vinci Code in just one week despite the busy work schedule and got hooked with the author's style in writing that I eventually purchased the other three

4. Are You Afraid of the Dark by Sidney Sheldon - recommended by Jhie

I seldom read books. So far, these are the only books that I've read and owned. And I have this habit that when I decide to read one, I buy it :) Purchasing and collecting any reading materials give me some kind of fullfillment.

Still in queue :

1. Tuesdays with Morrie - recommended by Olive
2. Teatime Stories for Women - already have this but I left it back home
3. Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus - I had this in my Christmas 2007 Wishlist and planning to have it this 2008 again

Early this year, because of the mushy quotes that I've been posting on my ym status, my friend Lia recommended Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. She said I could get more of it from that book. But because I was too busy doing other stuffs, I couldn't find time to read any novels. And just the other day, Don posted an entry on his blogsite about this book which reminded me of Lia's testiomonials for this novel. I ym-ed Lia and asked for more info and she told me that a film adaptation of this will soon be released in November.

So now, I just got my own copy.. :D
