counting months by the books i've read and bought

August and September consisted of these:

the ones I've read are:

G.V. Desani's "All About H. Hatterr" was wildly hilarious, albeit colloquial which tends to hamper one's comprehension of the author's thoughts. "Eat, Pray, Love" By Elizabeth Gilbert detailed one woman's quest for inner peace and what one must go through to attain it. Carrie Tiffany's "Everyman's Rules for Scientific Living" is one of the 50 Books You Can't Put Down for 2007 (Australia's literacy project of sorts) which depicted how failures impact persons from different backgrounds; like in the novel, the scientific man who is guided by rules and logic responded to failure by enlisting in the army for the war, while the woman who was an orphan and a seamstress, carried on with her life even after the scientific man left her. M.J. Hyland's "How the Light Gets In" interested me because M.J. Hyland's short bio at the back cover of the book revealed that she is an "ex-lawyer." (hm, it's a possibility for me too!)

the ones i bought:

Salman Rushdie's "The Ground Beneath Her Feet" and Mitch Albom's "For One More Day" are from Lung Center's Sunday market.

Jaan Kross' "Treading Air" and Joan London's "Gilgamesh" are dregs from the Powerbooks' Power Sale.

"The Drink and Dream Teahouse" by Justin Hill was a buy one take one deal from those booths in Megamall's exhibit areas (this was the "take," what i bought was that M.J. Hyland novel).

"After the Wreck, I Picked Myself Up, Spread My Wings, and Flew Away" by Joyce Carol Oates and "Vanessa & Virginia" by Susan Sellers are from Bestsellers (which is owned by National Bookstore) at Podium.

"The Story of Edgar Sawtelle" by David Wroblewski, "A Fine Balance" by Rohinton Mistry, "The Discomfort Zone" by Jonathan Franzen and "Operation Shylock: A Confession" by Philip Roth are all from Booksale.

this is what i'm currently reading:

Margaret Atwood's "The Blind Assassin" consist of three seemingly unrelated tales which according to the gist at the back cover of the book will be interwoven to provide the proper context for the three tales. i can't wait to get to the ending.
