Seventh of the Ten: Books!

I read any kind of books regardless of the reviews, not because I like the book but I give chance for the author to convince me that it’s worth the time. Not all books’ a good read, that’s why choose what you read. Because what defines a person are, the books you read and the friends you keep.

4 Books.

1. Harry Potter. I’m an avid fan of the Harry Potter and of J.K. Rowling. Why? For the simplest reason. I like how J.K. Rowling creatively made a whole new life and world. Giving hope for the wizards and witches’ world, a redemption from the dark ages.

2. Lord of the Rings.  A Modern Classic.

One Ring to Rule them all.

 

“…..But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer. Those are the stories that stayed with you, that meant something even if you were too young to understand why. But I think I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going because they were holding on to something-that there’s some good in the world, and it’s worth fighting for!” 
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

3. Tell Me Your Dreams (1998) by Sidney Sheldon. Another trial case story of Sheldon dealing with MPD or as known as Multiple Personality Disorder. The main character suffers from MPD and had 2 another alters which were  alternately controlling the main character’s behavior. I love the thrill and mystery in the story. Interesting plot but I just hate happy endings! Oopps!

4. Rizal without the Overcoat (1999) by Ambeth Ocampo. A well written book regarding Philippine’s National Hero: Jose Rizal. History and Biographies are usually a boring to read, communication is the key for an interesting read and Ambeth Ocampo, the author, captured the attention of the youth and made the life of the very well known Jose Rizal, a joy to read.

 

Let books be your dining table,
And you shall be full of delights
Let them be your mattress
And you shall sleep restful nights.
