Just finished: The Castafiore Emerald by Herge. (Hee! Thanks for the Tintin book, Jessica!)

Still in the process of reading, for some reason: Life of Pi, which to me is the book equivalent of artisanal chocolate: best savored in small bites, bit by bit. (I actually like it; it’s just that I wish the day would come soon enough when I would read it and go, “Ay, tapos na?”) Once I conquer this, it’s a toss-up between Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go and Gladwell’s Outliers… but knowing me, I’ll probably end up reading something shallow instead. ;)

I *must* pick up a copy of Lush Life soon, though. Sounds like a fascinating book.

Hyperion by Dan Simmons. So far, so good.

Just finished Chuck Klosterman’s Eating The Dinosaur. To replace that piece of nonfiction on the reading list, I’ve cracked open Levitt and Dubner’s SuperFreakonomics. On the fiction reading front, it’s Jonathan Lethem’s The Fortress Of Solitude grabbing my time and attention.

I’m reading The History of Tom Jones A Foundling, bought for only 150 pesos, Vintage edition. It’s kind of hard to read, kasi iba-iba ang spelling ng mga words nung panahon na yun, tulad ng “chuse” instead of “choose”. Parang gay lingo lang.

I’m reading The Book of Destiny by Carlos Barrios. An interesting book on the Mayan predictions. The world will not end on December 21, 2012. It’s not going to be like that stupid movie.
