2010 coming to a closing chapter soon
have been wondering
whether I have read enough this year
I think I didn’t
been reading quite ardently
during Summer
then it slowed down
since I was too busy catching up with BBS
and all the time
I was thinking
oh man
till I get a tablet
I will be reading again
since it’s more book-friendly
compared to a laptop
as far as I remember
since May
I have read at least ten
first half of the year
I was totally blur
maybe I did read
maybe I did not
#1 The Complete Short Stories of Mark Twain
it took me about a month
while I was working at the ice-cream store
#2 L.I.F.E by Khalil Fong
this is the first book I bought online
as a The Rookie Online Shopper
what’s the book is about
#3 Remember Me by Sophie Kinsella
this is quite a disappointment
after following the Shopaholic’s series
#4 Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami
recently it becomes a topic again
thanks to the movie and the crossover with Uniqlo
good stuffs never fade with time
Norwegian Wood X Uniqlo: Literature Goes Multi-D
#5 Kafka by The Seashore by Haruki Murakami
the heart-beating storyline apart
I guess this book is more about
how to deal with the inner self within you
as a process of growing up
and ultimately growing old
similar to Norwegian Wood
Kafka?
it means crow in Czech
and it meant to pay tribute to
the world renown writer, Mr. Kafka too
The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
brought the similar nostalgically depression
#6 The Catcher in The Rye by J.D. Salinger
heard of it as a must-read classic
quite long ago
and it caught me by surprise indeed
awesome piece of work
The Catcher in the Rye
#7 空轉人生 by 王貽興
good short articles collection about life
got it autographed at HK Book Fair
and it inspired me to open a new blog
currently reading
Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert
making good progress
as long as I don’t slack
failed to complete
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
that is the problem I am always facing
with classic
lack of language power
each sentence has to be read twice
progress is slow of course
but there’s will there’s way
the more I dread
the more I will miss out
