Mitch Albom - Tuesday with Morrie - sedih =____=

lady_nF

bulan nih baca classic lit jek

To kill a Mockingbird (Harper's Lee)-cita pasal how betapa kanak2 sangat tak prejudice dekat orang lain...zaman kebangkitan perjuangan orang kulit hitam nih...very powerful book..baca sebab terjumpa my dad punya 1960's edition (sayang bkn in mint condition...kalo tak boleh meng"ebay")

then my family fren give me 4 books by W. Somerset Maugham
Cake and Ale, The Razor's Edge, Moon and Sixpence and of Human Bondage
wah penat gak membaca...i thought im gonna hate it...
but the english is really simple and the story is surprisingly candid
so kebanyakkan story nih make fun of "other artists" yg berusaha sangat nak make names...
recommended...sbb takkan terasa bosan.

hi to all.
lama betul monch tak ke sini.
been busy.
nak habiskan satu buku pun susah.
cuma recently sementara tunggu dentist,
sempat monch abiskan buku yang
mengambil masa yang agak lama
due to time constraint.



The story begins when Aunt Lu,
invite Kit Zanetti for tea.
Derang ni tinggal kat apartment at Commerce Street.
Masa minum petang tuh laa
Aunt Lu (or Lucia) menceritakan kisah hidupnya
(yang berlaku in the 50's)
pada girl yang bernama Kit tuh.
Lucia is the youngest in the Sartori family.
She has 4 brothers,
Roberto, Angelo, Orlando and Exodus.
Everybody loves Lucia sbb dia sorang je anak perempuan.

Memula tuh, Lucia mmg ada BF nama Dante.
Tiba hari nak berbincang,
pertunangan diputuskan sbb Lucia
masih nak sambung kerja walau selepas kahwin
despite strong objections from her future MIL,
who owns a bakery shop.
So life goes on.
Lucia still goes to work at B. Altman Deparmental Store.
Kiranya Lucia ni tailor maker kat situ laa.

Later on, Lucia meet John Talbot
dan akhirnya derang bercinta
walaupun ayah Lucia tak berkenan ngan mamat tuh.

Back to Sartori family,
sebenarnya ayah Lucia pernah bergaduh
ngan adik dia disebabkan harta.
End of the arguement,
isteri adik dia sumpah Sartori and his wife
yg kalau derang ada anak nanti,
maka malang le nasib budak tuh.

Lucia yang first time tahu pasal sumpah tuh,
macam percaya tak percaya
tapi bila dia start putus tunang,
she thought, "that was it".

But it didn't end there.
Hari yang Lucia nak kahwin ngan John Talbot,
she was jilted ...

It's a good book though.
The book was written so detailed
that I felt like I could see/feel the street and
anyone would have love to work at the department store,
where Lucia is working.
At least I got to know about the Italians family.
How they love to talk out loud and
eat good food..a lot.
Selain tuh, aku suka book cover
yg ada ilustrasi Commerce Street masa 50'an.
Book cover yang kat atas tu
mungkin yang baru punya.
Mine was published in 2003.

Part yang sedih ialah ketika ayah Lucia dah nazak
and finally his brother came to visit him.
It was so touching to see
years of quarrel is meaningless
compared to strong family values.

I give Adriana Trigiani 7 out of 10.

Baru abih baca 2 buku

1) The Last Kingdom by Bernard Cornwell.
Citer ni historical.Kiash tentang seorang english boy,anak bangsawan nama Uhtred, bapaknya pun nama Uhtred,atuk pun Uhtred kesimpulannya nak sulung lelaki sume nama Uhtred.Dia ni anak 2nd tapi abg sulungnya mati dibunuh orang Danes or Viking yg menakluki tanah diorang.Nama tempat tu Bebbanburg kalo tak silap.Nama Danes tu Ragnar the Fearless.Nak dijadikan cerita,Uhtred ni akhirnya dibela oleh org Danes.Ragnar ni jadikan dia sebagai anak angkat dan dari situlah kisahnya sebagai seorang pahlawan bermula.Cuma citer ni ada sambungannya.Ending tergantung.Sequel buku ni The Pale Horseman.
Aku enjoy baca novel ni.Cuma ngeri gak baca kekejaman Vikings.Tapi tersentuh melihat the oher side of them.Walaupun si Ragnar tu mmg kejam yang amat masa peperangan,tapi dalam kehidupan biasa dia ni amat penyayang.Sebab buku ni historical,jenuhlah aku membelek kamus.Hehe...

2)Home Song by Thomas Kinkade
Kisah tentang kehidupan di bandar Cape Light.Bila baca buku ni aku terbayang Star Hollow,bandar dalam citer Gilmore Girls tu.Lebih kurangla.Citer ni biasa jer.Banyak aku skip.

3)All He Ever Wanted by Anita Shreve
Wargghhhhh!!!Bosan gila buku ni.Banyak perkataan yg aku tak paham.Bukan tahap aku ni.

Baru habis baca buku nie....

Tajuk : Demi kasih
Harga : RM16.00
Penulis : Hasreeyati Ramli

Karya Hasreeyati Ramli ini menampilkan nilai2 kemanusiaan, terutamanya nilai kasih sayang dan
persahabatan. Beliau membangkitkan perasaan benci menjadi sayang antara sesama insan. Langit tidak
selalunya cerah. Begitulah terjadinya hubungan suami isteri dalam cerita Hasreeyati Ramli. Sekian lama
menyemai kasih, keakraban Iriana dan Mukhriz dimeterai dengan ikatan. Tetapi entah dimana silapnya,
bahtera kasih yang mereka bina dilanda badai. Sampai bila Iriana memendam rasa lantaran keegoan
dan sikap pemarah suaminya

fza dah penah baca "why men lie and women cry". (fza rasa penyampaian buku ni bagus, n a bit klako). pastu last year, masa nak start baca "why men dont listen and women cant read maps", ada kawan ni cakap ....

"buku ni xbagus laa.. dia terlalu menyuruh kita jadi perfectionist"..

masa tu rasa sedih sangat.. terus hilang selera nak baca buku tu.. huhuhu... sedihnyaa... sampai hari ni, hari2 akan nampak buku tu kat rak.. tggu lagi setahun br blh baca kut, nak kasi hati ni "sembuh" balik.. chewahh...

just bought

Mayada The Daughter of Iraq- Jean Sasson (halfway dah...)
The Godfather - Mario Puzo
The Sicilian- Mario Puzo

DanaScully

The book follows the adventures of ex-convict Shadow upon his early release from prison due to the death of his wife, Laura, in a car accident. He is hired by the mysterious Mr. Wednesday to act as an escort and bodyguard, and travels across America visiting Wednesday's colleagues and acquaintances.  

overall a good reading especially if you're a fantasy junkie.  even if you are not, it is still a good book. :nerd:
full of colorful characters.  pada sesapa yg suka greek mythology pasti suka buka ni.  ending a bit anti-climax la pulak ;) maybe si neil gaiman intend it to coz there will be a continuation of Shadow's odyssey.

Baru habiskan Bridge to Terabithia. Tertarik baca buku ni sebab disenaraikan antara buku yang dibanned. Buku remaja actually. BUku ni dibanned sebab ada masukkan elemen orang yang mati hidup semula, macam tu lah lebih kurang yang aku baca. Aku expect, its going to be a longgg story (since aku baca dalam PDA), tapi sedar-sedar dah habis dah. Ending camtu jer, adik watak utama lak jadi permaisuri khayalan. Dan yang part dibanned la sesangat tu pun, bukan banyak pun, aku rasa tak sampai 10 ayat agaknya.

Kesimpulan, bolehla buat isi masa lapang. Takder la best sangat. Sepuluh kali ganda Anne of the Green Gables best (buku yang aku kategorikan dalam genre yang sama)
