1984 by George Orwell. Enlightening yet depressing. The book is full of ironies and paradoxes that strangely make sense if you apply doublethink. hehe Here is a book where a person's declaration of love becomes a metaphor for the death of one's soul. A lot of the things described in the book rings true in real life, which is unfortunate. If you want to get a glimpse of a "Negative Utopia" or a "Dystopia", read this book. Oh, by the the way, I LOVE BIG BROTHER.
The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley. I think nagparamdam ang librong ito sakin. Last Wednesday when Eli and I were browsing around the book stalls at the AS Walk, I saw a copy of this VERY thick book (about 800 pages)and I remarked to Eli that I had read the book in high school. It took me three weeks to finish reading it. Yesterday, while I was strolling around SM North I happened to pass by the Booksale stall and I found the same book among their stacks selling for only P140. The rest is history, 'ika nga...The book is a feminist reimagination of the Arthurian Legends so any of you wants to hear the "other voice" in the Arthurian legends better read this book.
