I have met the origin's of the ancestor's blood,
i have seen sights you never have dreamed,
I have played on mars and drowned in pluto,
and flied through space larger with nothing to lean.
I have seen a butterfly flap it's wings
and sensed the commotion in the world's end,
I have been to Arctic, Atlantic and... more »

    Hello thunderwisps,

    I'm 17. :) I always thought that was the nicest age to be in the world and that when I've hit the age I'll then be doing so many things, but the days are shedding faster than those autumn leaves and I haven't noticed anything different from when I was younger. :) What about you? And how are you? Thank you for finding time to leave me a note despite being busy.

    About Tell me Your Dreams, I was so surprised about the twist in the book too. I couldn't have figured out how it could have turned. I like it when books strike me and fizzle out my preconceptions, so in that way this book was memorable. And either it made me learn about dissociated identity disorder/ restoked my interest in the psychological disease, I can't remember at this point which, but in any case I was pretty grateful to learn so straightforwardly from a novel. Apart from that... as you said, well. :) I suppose that's enough for one unaspiring thriller. :)

    Thank you for the book recommendations :) About the Host, though, I'm afraid I'm exactly as close to being a fan of Meyer as Kansas is to the Andromeda Galaxy, so. But thank you for sharing your enthusiasms with me :)

    Hello thunderwisps,

    Sorry as well for the late replies... I'm busy with school as well, and don't have as much time with more fun activities than I wish I had... anyway, yes, I have read Khaled Hosseini's two novels... and definitely the realities they present there are surprising, and certainly not the one I am regularly used to: reading his books have helped make me more aware of how life goes on for other people :)

    I shall reply soon again once I am less tired. Until then, thank you for the note, and I hope you will overcome the challenges of school... :)

    Hello thunderwisps,

    I, too, love it when it rains and one can sit by the window and read... :) Yes, admittedly, Tolkien's books are a luggage fit to burst, and sometimes it's simply tiring just thinking of how much digging through that luggage one has to do.... Nevertheless, I hope that, should you decide to proceed, you would find it a very rich and rewarding experience :)

    I hope that you would be able to read Murakami soon and that we could discuss him together! I find him a very interesting writer- as is most of them who belong to Japanese literature... Tell me if you read some and find them interesting as well :)

    Lastly, I'm from the Philippines, in Southeast Asia... As far as I can tell no international scifi writer has made his home in our country yet, so much the worse :( Our country has its good and bad points, I suppose. The political circus keeps spinning, poverty lords the streets and the heat almost never lets up. But we laugh it all away because one has to take what he's given...

    So, what are you reading nowadays? And, you might be pleased to know, meeting you I just checked visiting SriLanka on my to-do-in-this-lifetime-list :)

    Regards, Lord M.

    Hello thunderwisps!

    I actually browsed through and mulled over my shelf to discover who my favorite authors are... well. Tolkien, unquestionably, he's probably something like the father of fantasy, and Lord of the Rings for me accomplishes all that people look for in the books they read- the whole spctrum of reasons- from comfort zone, to aesthetic pleasure, to profundity...

    I also like Haruki Murakami and edith Nesbit's works.... which means that I would munch anything from them and trust completely that I'll have some (great) measure of satisfaction in return.

    Then there are the great writers, such as Thomas Mann, Milan Kundera, Albert Camus, etc., etc., who I aspire to in bouts of literary pretensions :) whose works I love to amaze my mind with every once in a while but aren't book-friends with me-- just not the books who'll sit down with you in the fire over simple things, right?

    Lastly, there are the authors who, though not favorites, I can trust to fulfill my expectations somehow, and I'd pick their new works over authors I dont know. These include Neil Gaiman, Orson Scott Card, etc., etc., of whom I have at least inklings of greatnesses and fallibilities...

    But I must have deafened your ears all about me. What about you? Im impressed with the number of books you have read! Who are your favorite authors, and what are your favorite books? And most especially, how wonderful is it to live in Sri Lanka? A popular science fiction author named Arthur C Clarke emigrated there, impressed by the scuba diving opportunities, among others, I think...

    I'll be trembling to hear from you again. :)
