The best reads ever!

I understand... I don't expect everybody to like what I read! lol. I don't consider myself the final authority on what makes a good book (unlike some people I know). I'll admit that Tolkien's a bit long and drawn out, but I consider myself pretty easy to please writing-style wise... I'll read children's books, YA books, old classics, and new best sellers pretty indiscriminately. To me it's less about how the words are written down on the page and more about how compelling the story is and how much I love the characters.

Yeah, to each his own. But there are just some people who think they know better. It's annoying. Anyway, yeah, as long as the book has a rgreat story, I'll read it. But the style of writing also matters to me. Although the story may be as appealing, I won't be getting to the end of it once I find it to be dragging.

Among all the books you mentioned, I'm only familiar with the first three. With regards to the first two, I found them to be great reads but as for the Lord of the Rings, I'm not quite a fan of Tolkien's writing. The characters are okay and all but all the talking bored me. It was more or less a snorefest for me. I'm not trying to say it's no good. It's just my opinion. :D

Not medical. Just biology major so I'll probably be a scientist once I graduate. I don't have what it takes to become a doctor. My parents want me to become a psychologist or a pharmacist, but I'm not really interested in either. What I really wish is that I could become a musician, but alas all my time is taken up by study.

Wow, so you most probably are a med student, huh? I think I'd enjoy dissecting an animal's brain. I've also been interested in psychological disorders and have had the chance to interact with a schizophrenic patient. Let's just say I'll be looking these books up. Thanks!

Oh! But still, when you end up becoming a scientist, you get called doc anyways. Haha music will be given no time once you're in such a field. I still hope you get to live that dream somehow, though. :)

I see. Why are the books there expensive? I've bought one or two books which have been used. Although there is quite a limited selection in that section, I still found a book worth reasing. It was The Mask by R.L. Stine. I bought it thinking I was going to be reading about that cartoon character who was played by Jim Carrey in the movies! Hahaha But it's a great read, though if you're into some fictional psychothriller.

I think I am into anything, as long as it is well written and of course depends on my mood at the time... I meant imported new books are expensive. I rarely read Indonesian novels.

Hmm, I'll have a look into you title suggestions. I've read some books of the same genre but I'm not really that fond of those kinds of books. But I'll try, though. I tend to doze off when reading them. Lol

For real? You love reading school books? The only books I used to love reading back when I was in school were those with stories. Haha Those textbooks for other subject were only used when the need persists.

As a kid, I read Romeo and Juliet. But I didn't fully understand it so I guess I'm going to have to reread it someday. :)
