Part 1 is all books, books, and books.
- Bangkok 8, John Burdett
- The Future Dictionary of America, various authors
- The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, Stephen King
- Influence, Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen
- The Interpreter, Suki Kim. I have this curious attraction to *insert Asian ethnicity here*-American-themed novels and it’s kind of bad cos I never really get past the first few chapters (Amy Tan is an exception) since I can’t really relate to the characters and their hang-ups usually rooted in their cultural backgrounds. But what the heck.
- Killing Johnny Fry, Walter Mosley
- Love is a Mix Tape, Rob Sheffield
- Speak, Laurie Halse Anderson. There’s also a movie (starring Kristen Stewart) which I am currently looking for to download.
The following Francesca Lia Block books (I finally got my first FLB book today, I Was A Teenage Fairy. I can’t wait to get my ass home, curl up in a corner, and try to read it in a span of two or three hours):
- Ecstasia
- Nymph
- Girl Goddess #9: Nine Stories
- Primavera
- Psyche in a Dress
- Wasteland
I’d buy all these books in a heartbeat (but not all at the same time, maybe half of the list every credit card cut-off heh) if only shipping didn’t cost so much.
Aaaaand a picture. It’s blurry, but my shirt says “Santa Claus is a Pedophile”.
Read about car insurance here :)
Hi, I'm Helga Weber and welcome to my personal site. I'm 25 and in the process of learning how to make adventurous life choices. I dislike old people but I love grandma clothes. My goal in life is to build a ball pit right next to my bed. Currently searching for the perfect house coat. My lover is the greatest. 
I never was (and I guess never will be? :s) fond of books. I know it’s a bad thing but i’m still HOPING that i’ll be a bookworm in the future. Hehe :p
You’re gonna have those books shipped eh? Aren’t they available here in the country?

I recently bought Speak a couple of weeks ago at National Bookstore’s SALE section. I bought it at 55. :D Haha. Pretty cheap!
A friend told me it’s a good read. Not really that remarkable a book but still a good read. :p
My literary wishlist is almost never-ending.

i have a credit card bill to settle pa rin heehee~ anyways, it’s really tempting to buy books online although the downside would be the shipping cost which is like buying one book na rin. tsktsk…
[Reply]
LOLz. Your shirt iz evul.
I got curious about the FLB books. :-) *googles*
[Reply]
I think the movie Speak is available on Youtube
[Reply]
To save money, I’ve started reading Finnegan’s Wake… 6 months ago. It’ll last me a couple more years so that’s like a thousand pesos on books instead of 200 thousand. Smart, right?

I like the list… :)
[Reply]
LMAO at the shirt!
Speak was a good movie; I never read the book though. I assume it’s better than the movie!
Oh, and since you *like* Asian American-themed books, try reading The Gangster of Love by Jessica Hagedorn, When the Elephants Dance b Tess Uriza-Holthe, and The Accidental Asian by Eric Liu. lol I had to read them for my Asian American classes but surprisingly, I liked them.

Haha we both want a lot of books for christmas this year. Thanks for the comment about my mom’s wedding plans.
[Reply]
Your t-shirt rocks! I have always thought of Santa as a dirty old man ;)
[Reply]
If part 1 is all books, I wonder what the other parts are??? Hehehe, I would totally not mind books for Xmas, but I haven’t even thought of what I wanted. I think I’m fairly content this year. ^_^
I love your shirt!! HAHA it cracked me up

Block is one of my favorite authors. I think I have an extra copy of Hanged Man somewhere. If I manage to find it I’ll give it to you
