I am an avid book lover. i am eager to devour many kinds of books. But i prefer to collect literature and linguistic books on my shelf, since those are related to my interest and academic background.
My most favorite books are Pangeran Kecil (a Little Prince): , Ketika Mas Gagah Pergi (When Brother Gagah has gone): Helvy Tiana Rossa, Para Priyayi: Umar Kayam, Laa Tahzan! (Don't be sad!): Aidh Al-Qorny, al-Mu'adzabuuna fil Ardh (Those Punished men on the earth): Thaha Husain, Zuqaq al-Midaq (The Midaq Alley): Naguib Mahfoudz, The Namesake: Jhumpa Lahiri, Gadis Pantai (The Lady from the Coast): Pramudya Ananta Tour and Pride and Prejudice: Jane Austen.
To me, a book, in some cases, is much more valuable than a friend. For book will neither hurt our heart nor get angry with us, whoever, whatever and however we are! In addition, book always provides us much information and knowledge as well. « less
