interesting blog posting by "bibliobibuli" - perhaps arguably the best book blog in Malaysia about 1001 books you must read before you die...

you can check it out here:-

Interesting list...though as any list it is totally subjective and don't mean anything much at all...

ive heard most of the authors' names, read a small minority, own quite a lot of them and have never heard a few authors...

it's heavily english centric...not too many great books by non english except a minority..
see any of your favorites there??

i can't see any sophie fuc***g kinsella or Harold F*****g robbins there... or did i miss them in the list??

GOOD readers think alike cik seri!!!

i know some people will hate this list and i don't like it very much either...but good to see that many wellknown authors are there....

jefrey archer
sophie kinsella
jk rowling
sidney sheldon
danielle steele
enid blyton
barbra cartland
buku2 alaf 21
ahdiat akasah

kebanyakan buku tu mesti susah nak cari terutama yang pre 1700s, 1700s dan 1800s...anyway ada banyak pilihan kat situ....adalah jugak idea nak beli pasni....

pasni nak gi cari buku bram stoker tu....

curious nk tahu knaper?

sbb rae mmg minat genre vampire nih....and my Tok Guru is Anne Rice, even though she's stopped writing about it now.....

but, still, my love would always fall on Bram Stoker's Dracula....the way that he writes it - it's intelligent you see. i forgot what's the technique's called - but it's one of it's earliest of its category.(correct me if im wrong though)

Dracula is written in a first person POV - by

1.Diary (mostly)
2. Manuscripts
3. Newspaper
4. Telegrams
5. Letters
6. one method i forgot it's name - but it records voice, forgot what that is! ish.......

not sure how many times i've read it coz it's THE book i'll look up if i'm bored....and That's plenty of my time

he he..br dapat apa yang luper tadi - ni ha. an EPISTOLARY novel....

Dracula is an epistolary novel, written as collection of diary entries, telegrams, and letters from the characters, as well as fictional clippings from the Whitby and London newspapers.
