Shopadeedoo

Went on a mini-shopping trip today.
Bought a couple of books and the shades from FlyWear that I have been eyeing (no pun intended) for a few weeks now.




James Rollins is brilliant.
Take it from me. I'm a serious reader.
Dare I say, he's better than Dan Brown. :)




The name is C. Jason C. :)

    Dan Brown isn't an especially good writer. His characters are flat and he doesn't know how to describe them unless they're looking in the mirror. And I *can* go on ranting XD He's got plot, I'll give you that.

    I'd be dubious on your assertion of James Rollins' brilliance based on your comparison to Dan Brown if I didn't know you *do* have good taste in books. (Alastair Reynolds!) Haha. So what kind of books does James Rollins write?

    Shades look nice =)

    Amazing how a post on 2 books and a pair of shades could generate so many comments. :P

    Tabs: Sure thing. :) What are friends for?

    Nikki: Ah Dan Brown. I agree with you 200%. His characters do not have the depth to even scratch well-created characters like Jack Ryan (of Tom Clancy) and Kay Scarpetta (of Patricia Cornwell). James Rollins, on the other hand, knows how to plant a character's history and background, and he starts each book really well. Sometimes, really suspenseful, which I find really great. Plus Rollins comes up with unorthodox historical locations for his plots.

    Yes. We both love Alastair Reynolds don't we? *takes a bow* I have all the books I think. :P Brilliant space-opera genre!

    Rollins writes adventure-action. Think Indiana Jones books on steroids, with concise but superior research and occasional tech-talk. I highly recommend Rollins. :)

    Gayle: It's PAP. Why? Because the store is called People Are People. It's either PAP or PareP, which looks lame. :P

    Nikki: You do that. :) Oh by the way, books back in MPH and Miri are way cheaper than books here. James Rollins cost like RM35 here, and some Clancy's are RM40. *grr*

    Joe: You do that pre. :) I used to have this personal library back in Malaysia of over 700 books. Quite a few are in Nicole's house now. :)

    *sigh* Too bad for us collectors and hard-core readers. I miss the 'expensive' books at Belle's Bookshop which cost like RM29 to RM 32. Ahaha.. Back then, I had to save up for a week to get a new Tom Clancy. LOL.

    The new Tom Clancy here is freaking expensive. RM60. ZOMG. I wanna cry.

    Ouch! That's crazy. Yea it sucks that books are soo expensive. But my speed of reading has decreased exponentially (whoo maths term hahaha) so I don't need new books that often anymore.

    =(
