If you find the title weird, not my problem. Like what the title of this post suggest, this post is all about my reading list for the past 3 weeks. Withing those weeks, boredome consumed my spirit and I want to exorcise myself from it, thus reading is the answer. With no further adieu, here it is:
1. Going Solo
by Roald Dahl
Comment/s: First, this book is about Dahl's adventures as a World War II pilot. If you don't have a grandparent to ask about his/her expieriences during the war, or you live in Asia and you are interested in World War II events that happened in Europe, this book is for you. The problem is, if you are not in the mood for adventure, you might have chances in not finishing the book. I myself stopped at one chapter that is almost 4 chapters near the end of the book.
2. Otaku Zine Issues 37 & 38
Comment/s: Since I am an anime fan, I decided to try reading this mag, and boy, it pure anime goodness inside. Gah! Can't wait for issue 39!
3. K-Zone's Guide to Surviving A Bummer Summer
Comment/s: Ther only thing that I like in this book is the comics especially the Bakemono High Summer Special (Chuck's story is freaking funny!) and the Did You Know Trivia. All I can say is, I prefer the other special book issues of the mag.
4. Yu Yu Hakusho Vol. 1
by Yoshihiro Togashi
4. Yu Yu Hakusho Vol. 1
by Yoshihiro Togashi
Comment/s: Arigatou gosaiiiimasu! Like the last lines of the opening theme of the anime, I feel thankful buying this volume half the price AND reading the chapters not included in the anime (In the anime adaptaion of the series, only Chapters 1-3 and 7 are part of the anime). Boy, I feel I am back in the 90's while reading it.
5. GateKeepers Vol. 1
by Hiroshi Yamaguchi (Writer) and Keiji Gotoh (Illustrator)

Comment/s: Asumo egaono tameni! The theme song of the show played in my head when I saw it half the price in Booksale. Being a fan of the show (My username in forums is the name of the lead character of the manga), I was excited reading it when I arrive home. After reading it, all I can say is... wah! Cliffhanger! I want more GK! Unlike the anime version, the manga version is shorter in terms of character introduction (In the manga, the entire AEGIS Far East staff is introduce after Shun beat the Invader), but the story, Reiji Kageyama's awesome evilness (insert evil laugh) and the chicks, give readers a great treat.
6. Matilda
by Roald Dahl
6. Matilda
by Roald Dahl
Comment/s: Another Dahl book in my reading list! The story is all about Matilda, a genius... yet her parents think she's a nitwitt and a troublemaker, which is the exact opposite of who she is. While reading the book, I was entertained with Matilda's wittyness and her powers... no wonder they made it into a film! Matilda is a story that will charm readers everywhere. To those parents who have read the book, probably this thought would pop-up in their minds, I wish I adopted Matilda.
7. A Series of Unfortunate Events Book 1: The Bad Beginning
by Lemony Snicket
7. A Series of Unfortunate Events Book 1: The Bad Beginning
by Lemony Snicket
Comment/s: After reading book 6 (The bookstore sold it half the price! And it's school edition papaerback!), I want more Baudelaire orphan action. To better understand the series, I decided to read the first book. After two days of absorbing all the mishaps, again, I. Want. More.
8. ABNKKBSNPLAko? (To those who don't understand it, here's the expanded title: Aba, Nakakabasa Na Pala Ako?)
by Bob Ong
Comment/s: The title literally means, "Wow, I know how to read". This book tells us about the author's expieriences in studying. From his years in Elementary till his arrival to vocational school and his teaching in high school. To sum it up, even the book is short (1oo+ pages), in every page, you'll learn life's biggest lessons... in a funny and entertaining way.
9. Doraemon Vols. 5 & 6
by Fujiko F. Fujio
Comment/s: (Plays Song of Doraemon in my head) being the fan of the show, I decided to buy to volumes of the manga in Booksale. Once I opened the book, I was surprised that the book is in Filipino. For the first time, I red a Filipino translated manga! The humor of the show is still there, and Nobita, as always is a klutz. He is useless without Doraemon. Sadly, in the last chapter of Volume 6, Doraemon left Nobita. Another cliffhanger.
10. K-Zone Philippines June 2009 Issue
Comment/s: Another mediocre issue. The Transformers feature is the only thing that interested me.
