Reading Crichton and Pelzer

I bought a new book, Jurassic Park, by the late techno-thriller genius Michael Crichton, and Gayle is currently reading My Story, by Dave Pelzer, and when we have new reads, we go to Coffee Bean. :D

Finding CB at Midtown is really a blessing. Starbucks here in Manila is way too over-rated, and is increasingly getting more populated by rowdy crowds. :( Not exactly a place to mull over a novel.








Ah.. That book was awesome! I'm definitely going to get the sequel, The Lost World. I cannot believe I put off reading that book for such a long time!

    I've read both JP and The Lost World a few years back. Mum gave them to me as Christmas presents.

    I missed/intentionally skipped a family dinner/reunion, thanks to those 2 books. Haha.

    Oh the sweet life of a book worm. Haha.

    Dude, I can't believe you waited this long either. What do you mean by 'late'? He's dead?! =/

    Read 'Sphere' and 'Timeline' by Crichton if you haven't already. I'll hit you over the head with my very heavy chem eng textbook if you refuse.

    Yeah, he died in November. :( Long and private battle against cancer.

    You cannot hit me over the head with your very heavy chem engineering textbook. I will hit you over the head with my very thick American Government textbook for forgetting that you lent me your Timeline 2 years ago! :P Hahahahaha!! Nice to know you love me too. :P

    I will buy "Sphere" when I have extra cash. :P I have to get a lot of textbooks for Uni! :(

    Hey, it's because I love you that I hit you over the head if you refuse sensible sugges - erm, demands. Hahaha.

    Oops. I did, didn't I? Lol.

    Textbooks are expensive =( fortunately, my department gave me a 500 pound book voucher to buy all my textbooks with!

    "Sphere" is awesome, you will love it.

    I will post a pic of my very heavy chem eng textbook on my blog to let you see later =P

    Haha, yes, you know I rarely say no to your "suggestions". What can little brothers do, against the mighty persuasive powers of big sisters? *sigh* LOL.

    500 pounds' worth of a book voucher?? Wow! We have a 'buy-back' book thingy here though, where we can purchase cheaper (read: pirated) copies of the tomes we need. I'm not kidding when I use the word 'tome'. They look like the Gutenberg Bible. Fat, thick, dominating.
