...Books

Reading only became interesting for me when Harry Potter came out. It kind of opened me up to a whole new thing. From then on, I loved reading. The excitement that you get is different compared to the big screen. So, here are some of the books that I've read recently.

 
The Da Vinci Code

After reading the first chapter, I was hooked. I couldn't put it down. The book is about a Harvard symbologist who came across the secret society of Priory of Sion. Paintings of Leonardo da Vinci were interpreted as giving off signs of Mary Magdalene as the wife of Christ. It presented an accurate and scary history of Christianity. Dan Brown relived the old controversy of the sacred feminine where the Holy Grail is Mary Magdalene. This is a well written book that will awaken your senses in an eerie kind of way. My favorite book---> !


Glamorama

Bret Easton Ellis is a modern satirist. His portrayal of the glamorous world of high class New York is scary. Every page is full of surprises. The whole plot may look chaotic but the turn of events are well laid out. The protagonist, Victor Ward is a man we all love to hate but in here we wanted him to succeed. I had a lot of fun reading this masterpiece.

 


Fleeced

I always loved a good whodunit book. Mary Higgins Clark's Fleeced is one of it. Her writing is clear and simple. The plot is so engaging that you would never want to put this down. Even though the main characters are a bit old, she still managed to make them look interesting and new.

 


Harry Potter (all 5 books)

Harry has always been my favorite. His misadventures in Howgarts was the most original fantasy epic there is. This is evident to the millions of books sold. Everybody likes Harry even though it's a children's book. J.K. Rowling has the unique gift of imagination that captivates the whole world. I could not wait for the sixth installment.

 


Seek

This is the most unusual book  I've read. It has no narration. It is sorted out like a play where you'll only read the character's dialogue. The story is very engaging and heart warming. The main character is seeking for his DJ father. He would listen to the radio and track all DJs who might be his father.

 


Wrinkle in Time

This is a childhood favorite. I actually made a paper about this for my Hum1. This is a mixture of fantasy and science fiction. The characters are lovable and the story as well. The journey to whole new dimension by 'wrinkling' time was a very cool and original concept. The adventures of Meg and her friends through out the universe is one roller coaster ride. Madeline L'engle is one talented writer. I also liked her other books still starring the Murry family.

 


  Summer Sisters

I don't know what made me pick up this book but I'm glad I did. It is a story about friendship, betrayal, love and growing up. The poignant dialogues and clear description were the highs of the book. Summer Sisters is a moving tale that would leave a smile on your face when you're finished.

 


The Devil Wears Prada

Hilarious! This the book to read when you're angry about your boss, parent, prof., or whoever. The characters are so honest and funny. You could not put down this book. Although being branded as a 'chick lit' it is still good fun.
