When we we were in school, college and high school, the Noli Me Tangere and the El Filibusterismo were must reads. I had read it many times even in grade school out of curiosity and it was because most of my cousins were way older and so, more advanced in schooling than I was. I think, I like the Noli better. Do you know that Rizal also thought the same although he was hurt when Antonio Luna told him that he preferred Rizal's first novel also. That was why he wanted to have a third novel. However, he was not able to finish Makamisa. I did not understand why.Perhaps, he was deported in Dapitan and was asked not to write anymore.

I'll go for Noli Me Tangere because El Filibusterismo is kinda boring. There's so many twist on it not like in Noli Me Tangere. It's so simple and easy to understand. Or maybe it's just that my teacher didn't explain it properly. Because whenever we discuss El Filibusterismo, all of us end up sleeping in the class.
