Goodreads Malaysia discussion

Tak masuk tahun lepas tapi tahun ni tergerak le pulak...

1) To Kingdom Come: A Novel - the second book in the Barker & Llewellyn crime series.

2) Tom Strong Deluxe Edition Vol. 1 - comic collection pun boleh ke? Boleh la. Buku jugak....

bravo, bravo. sila, sila...

Hehe... selamat!

3) Psych: Mind Over Magic. I love the tv series so much I broke down and read the tv tie-in book. Surprisingly good. Not great but not bad either.

4) Mini Marvels Ultimate Collection GN-TPB.

fuiiiyooooo...

5)The 'Nam Volume 1 TPB. A re-release of the comics industry best portrayal of the Vietnam conflict. As seen from the foot soldiers' point of view. An appropriate reminder seeing as how the US is in the same quagmire in Iraq and Afghanistan right now.

Teringat zaman sekolah dulu suka menonton propaganda Amerika di TV, Nam Tour of Duty :D

6) Agents Of Atlas: Turf Wars Premiere HC - comic book for me

7) Incredible Hercules: The Mighty Thorcules Premiere HC - comic book for me

8) Invincible Iron Man Volume 3: World's Most Wanted Book 2 Premiere HC - comic book for me

9) Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade - comic book for my daughter...oh, who am I kidding? It's for me.

Because sometimes you just want to read something light and awesome at the same time.

10) Spider-Man: Red-Headed Stranger Premiere HC

11) Spider-Man: Return of the Black Cat

Rasa malas 'lak nak baca novel minggu ni. Insyaallah cuti CNY ni akan sambung baca buku yang langsung takde gambar :)

http://themalaysianreader.com/2010/03...

Congrats for new blog - hope it'll live longer.

16) Official Book Club Selection: A Memoir According to Kathy Griffin - no review at my blog but that there is a very short entry on why I can't seem to read Malay fiction.

(sempat lagi nak promote blog tu)

Try FT, you won't regret it! Or maybe you'll regret it because you've taken so long to immerse yourself in his works :D

Perhaps one day. I must admit that of all the Malay novels, FT's books are the ones that interest me the most. I blame you people! Actually, I blame you! Your fault, Najibah! Also, I blame my wife! Another "kipas susah mati" of FT.

But I haven't read a page of FT yet. Like I said, someday.

Salam, new member here..

I agree that only Faisal can attract readers like me.. his works does have the art... All of us must read advencer si peniup ney.. wow..

another one is Kombat.. Best literature for Jihaad..

Aw, man! Not you too ;)

En Khairul

Salah satu buku FT telah diterjemahkan ke dalam Bahasa Inggeris. Mungkin En Khairul boleh cuba The Prau with the Silent Soul.

We, 'kipas susah mati' FT would love to hear your comments. Love or hate I'm sure it'll be an interesting one.

Thank Faizah for the heads up. Will look out for "Prau.."

Dah order buku FT yg diterjemahkan ke English melalui website ITNM. :)

My first FT!!! In english, but still....

Hmm hari tu cari "Prau" dalm bahasa Melayu dekat gerai al-Ameen tapi xjmpe.. hehe saya xnak baca yang english dulu nanti x dapat tahu keaslian bahasanya..

I saw the English one at ITNM booth.. is there the malay version?

The Malay version is called Bedar Sukma Bisu.

oo ok tq

Malay versionnya ada di Dawama.

17) The Secret Science Alliance and the Copycat Crook - an incredible looking comic book. Very detailed. A science nerd joins two other science nerds and kicks the ass of a thief (who is also a scientist).

18)Al-Quran Disebalik Ayatul Kursi

19) Amalan Surah-Surah Pilihan: Doaku Harapanku

cantik pilihan bukunya. :)

Nak kena tulis review kat blog tentang buku no. 19. Bagus, tapi saya rasa tak tepat le tajuknya.

20) Incredible Hulk Volume 1: Son Of Banner Premiere HC - asyik baca buku agama je, sekali sekala nak juga baca comic. Hulk ada anak. Hijau macam bapak dia jugak.

amazing, khairul!

memang pantas. :)

21) The Way of Shadows - Buku pertama dalam trilogy 'The Night Angels'. Buku pertama ni macam cerita Ultraman (atau cerita Hindustan), hero kalah dulu. Ramai gengnya mati. Macam mana hero nak menang ni? Jeng jeng jeng!

22) Howards End is on the Landing: A Year of Reading from Home by Susan Hill

lajunya...

Saya nak disiplinkan diri supaya jangan kerap sangat berhenti membaca sesebuah buku itu melainkan untuk kewajipan (sembahyang, makan, minum, tidur). Dan juga kurangkan ber-internet. Internet ni memang mencuri masa saya daripada membaca buku.

maksudnya dimana2 saja ke..termasuk di pejabat?

Yup. Saya memang bawa buku ke pejabat. Saya bawa buku ke mana saja. Walaupun buku itu tak akan dibelek pada hari itu tapi hati rasa tenang bila ada buku disisi.

Lagi satu tabiat aneh saya: http://themalaysianreader.com/2010/04...

:)

Bagusnya. Sy pun bawa buku kemana2 sy pg dalam hand bag. Ermm..selalunya tak terbaca pun. :)
Kalau dekat ofis langsung tak berkesempatan.
Tapi rasa happy sgt bila ada member2 ofis yg nk membaca dtg berjumpa sy untuk meminjam buku atau tanya samada sy ada beli buku tak.

sy pun kena disiplinkan diri jugalah lepas ni.Target nk mencapai 50 buku setahun tu, moga2 tercapai.

khairul, anda pembaca yg istiqamah. :)

23) Johannes Cabal the Necromancer - my first 1 star book of the year. It failed to keep my interest by page 80 so I dumped it. Disappointing. Most of the reviewers for this book gave it 4 stars so I don't know what they saw that I failed to see. I thought a comic fantasy about a scientist who practises black magic after he sold his soul to Satan and now tries to get it back provided he wins his bet against Satan would be at a wee bit interesting. But alas, no.

24) Major Pettigrew's Last Stand

25) Wordwatching: How to Break into the Dictionary

26) Fantastic Four By Jonathan Hickman Volume 1 Premiere HC

27) Wolverine Weapon X Volume 2: Insane In The Brain Premiere HC

28) Jack of Fables Vol. 6: The Books of War

29) Fables, vol. 13: The Great Fables Crossover

Khairul, u're a speed reader by nature! ;)

30) Malaysia At Random

31) Map Addict
