Of great read and authors..

[myfoot123]

Is there any local ebook service, as Amazon's got many not available for SG market. Also Kobo's not exactly good range either.

Try OPEN TROLLEY. They source the book for you. YOu can pick up the book at Plaza Singapura or paid for their delivery.

my favorite read this year

Oh please!! as if you have not had enough of Chua Mui Hoong and Chua Lee Hoong craps. The book basically compiled the prostitutes work of art. Too highly fictitional for taste. Read at your demise, my advice to you is best consumed before food.

Any fan of James Clavell here? Terry Goodkind?

Long time ago, I read King Rat.

Maybe I will go on to complete the rest of his Asia saga....

bookdepository.co.uk also not bad.

no delivery fees and they post to your mail box.

some books are cheaper than say Kino due to favorable ex-rate

Am reading books by Anais Nins.

Erotica bordering on porn...not bad from a female writer - at least porn with taste.

Does anyone read comics or manga?

I was an ardent reader of CLASSICs comics, Beano, Dandy and Battle comics.

I loved Classics for it gave me lots of knowledge on good authors who wrote, War of the Worlds, Time Machine, Sherlock Holmes, The Illiad.

In Beano and Dandy I loved Biffo the Bear, Desperate Dan, Korky the Cat, Danny The Menace, Little Plum and many more.

I still have many of this in my collection.

As for Manga, I did not read it.

 

[Kohliantye]

For me, it's Leon Uris for his Exodus;
Oh yeah, I like the modern ones too - Jeffrey Archer, Frederick Forsyth, John Grisham.

Leon Uris is my favourite. Have read both the Exodus, The Hajj, etc..

Long time ago, I read King Rat.

I have this book with me but have yet to read it. Its some story about Japanese brutalities on British Prisoner-of war in Changi Goal.

May start later..

Overrated or otherwise?

I re-read it recently, still as relevant....

I used to be a keen reader of Li'l Abner until Al Capp passed away and the strip was stopped. The Kickapoo joy joice was a drink from this Comic. MAD was also interesting.

Oh, days (and life) was simpler then. MAD was great. Also did all the Beano, Dandy in primary school. No money, got to borrow, especially the bigger issues. Kns, even lost 1 one big issue, kena pay back b instalments. Peanuts strip was grown up piece, think satire.

Another favourite comic strip of mine was Alley Oop with Dinny the Dinosaur, King Guz and Queen Umpateedle, not forgetting the sexy Ooola. Cant find these comics anymore. maybe, like Li'l Abner, it also stopped.

Just done this Simon Kernick thriller "Siege".. on terrorist hold up/hostages in a London hotel (very topical?). Quite a page turner, suspenseful read. Diff here was terrorist hold up was "outsourced" by muslim/arab extremits to a motley angmoh gang. Characterisation was great, and of all sorts.


Now will for his bestseller (other book here)

 

[yinyang]

Got my hands (and eyes) on latest from Jeffrey Archer. Sequel to his Chrifton Chronicles. I know there are JA detractors, but this has been a good and easy read from maestro story teller. "Sins of the Father"

 

[BuriramUnitedFC]

I love The Alchemist!

 

[GoldenDragon]

J D Salinger's The Catcher In The Rye.
