I read a lot of books, my problem is finishing them
ANyway a book i managed to finish in 2 hours while in boring Brunei recently was "For one more day" By Mitch Albom.
I like its theme on Mortality and what you would do if you are able to get back that ONE DAY you did not have,.

I have been pretty disorganised this year and have kinda forgotten how many books I've read so far.
I think it's probably 8-9 books liao. I'm currently reading "Snake Fang Salad". I have three other books that are erm... "In Progress" as they are not that easy to finish reading.
Updated tallies, anyone?

My problem is not reading fast enough.
I have so many things I want to do these days that it's just impossible to accomplish them all.

well i love reading actually on books that deal with mortality and death and also controversies surrounding religion, things that challenges the norms. But the problem is that while I got all excited reading the first few chapters, the book usually gets too boring halfway through haha... there are too many books I did not finish.. -

Following books are now scattered all over the bed: Reading them somehow in random:
Toddler Taming Tips, A Parents Guide to the First Four Years by Dr Christopher Green.
Potty Training in One Week by Gina Ford.
Both books above I got for $2/- each from 2nd hand book store at Bras Basah Complex.
Childlessness. Truth about Test-tube Babies and the New Reproductive Technologies by Dr Jaffar Ali
Lady Vernon and her Daughter by Jane Rubino and Cailen Rubino-Bradway. adaptation of Jane Austen unfinished novel known as Lady Susan.
Both books are borrowed from the National Library and the Childlessness book is extremely technical.

Now starting on:
Belly Dancing The Basics by Sherry Jeffries.

I've actually finished this book, but forgotten to update it here.
Its kinda hilarious.
"Undercover Tai Tai, a novel by Maya O Calica" Some kinda asian chic series of books by Marshall Cavendish
Its a story of how a Singaporean Tai Tai widow went missing, and the ISD recruited a total newbie girl to become a secret agent to inflitrate the tai tai world in Singapore.
Can say its just a lazy read for typical Singaporeans with a little bit of ideas of how the Tai Tai world is like.
BTW, The irony is that I picked up the book from a 2nd hand bookstore for $2/-. I see from its back a Times Bookshop pricetag of $17.66. And this was only published in 2009.

I'm currently reading "house" by ted dekker and frank peretti. It's been made into a movie too, it's a supernatural thriller about a couple who had a car accident that leaves them stranded in a inn.
In the inn, evil itself seems to be playing a game with them and there are rules that makes no sense and must be followed....
reviews for the film say it is like SAW, but i don't it like saw so far....
