Let's keep a lookout for any special events that might be organised on that day.
Bear, you can read your notes on that day... that'll count too!
-

Yeah, please do so! Otherwise, all those chiro appts would be futile. BTW, they really should downgrade you! How can you serve as a combat medic with your back injury?Originally posted by the Bear:no notes.. i'll probably be crawling around that day.. i'm a combat medic after all..

hahahaaa... that's a good one!Originally posted by StaplerCreamPie:read wad... forum? -
That's fun. I'm gonna look for a new book to read just to mark the day
-
Yeah, even if you just read the first sentence of the first paragraph of the first chapter of the first part, it's still considered reading! hahahaha!!!Originally posted by choco B:That's fun. I'm gonna look for a new book to read just to mark the day
How about reading the subtitles of foreign movies... does that count? hehehe! -
OK, on 3 March, I will start reading the moment I open my eyes... I'll walk over to the fridge, take out my carton of juice, and read the ingredients and labels! hehehe!
-
This is odd... I did a search for World Reading Day for Singapore but came up with nothing! There were World Book Day on 3 March in other countries but seemingly no details for the campaign locally!
Anyone out there with better luck? -
OK!! REMINDER... Select your book now, if you haven't already! Let's start reading it on 3 March and then share how long it took for us to finish reading it, ok?
Watch for the flag-off here on 3 March! -
everyday is a reading day for me
-
hehehe... yes teacherOriginally posted by Rhonda:OK!! REMINDER... Select your book now, if you haven't already! Let's start reading it on 3 March and then share how long it took for us to finish reading it, ok?
Watch for the flag-off here on 3 March! I'll be reading from Sydney, too!
Will be reading 'Life of Pi' - have heard so much about it! -
public holiday?

i've already got one new book to read... i'll wait until 3rd March and on my way home from Yishun after 1st day in green.. got to go to School of Military Medicine there for 2 day refresher..
it'll be:
Platform - Michel Houellebecq
read his last book, Atomised.. and was blown away by the almost breakneck speed of his imagination and ideas... he writes books which are not for the faint-hearted.. -
Wow the title looks provocative, is it pop fiction like Dan Brown's DaVinci Code?Originally posted by the Bear:i've already got one new book to read... i'll wait until 3rd March and on my way home from Yishun after 1st day in green.. got to go to School of Military Medicine there for 2 day refresher..

Anyway SMM is still at ulu pandan i heard, near the provost school... -
SMM is not there anymore.. it's now in Nee Soon Camp... if it was at provost, i'd be delighted... it's near enough for me to cycle there...
the other book, Atomised, is provocative.. it's a story but it's more a kind of social commentary about those who do not fit into mainstream society... the weirdos, perverts, and others deviantsOriginally posted by DriftingGuy:Wow the title looks provocative, is it pop fiction like Dan Brown's DaVinci Code?

I bought this book but have already started on it
Luckily I have another new book, which will be officially unwrapped and admired on Thursday
In other news....
"Pre-order Harry Potter Book 6 Today!
Harry Potter fans, rejoice! J.K. Rowling has announced that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Book 6 in her wildly popular Harry Potter series, will be released July 16, 2005."

i read that many years ago
can't remember much about it tho'..
hmmm... after Platform, i'd be outta books (again)
also, as mentioned here, i wonder which books should i release into the wild?
think during the free time when i'm in green i'll decide which, think up writeups for the books released...
any suggestions where to release them?Originally posted by choco B:Am also working on Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams, kindly lent to me by a friend. (It's actually the Dirk Gently Omnibus but can't find it online.)
