I know. My birthday have looonnngggg passed.
But since I haven't been back home from Melaka for more than a month, I haven't got to celebrate it.
Nor did I get presents either.
But I heard they are all in a dilemma when searching for it.
Haha.
Yeah, a lot of people aren't sure what I'd want for my birthday.
I, myself am not sure either.
So this is the purpose of THE BIRTHDAY LIST
IF you are thinking of getting me a gift,
this list would be readily available and can also be used for my 50th birthday.
*wink wink*
First off, I'll start with books.
Because I've been constantly wanting to buy great fictions, but have pockets that are too dry
:PP
Wolf Island, Dark Calling, & Hell's Heroes
(Book 8, 9, & 10 of The Demonata Series)
by Darren Shan
This is the TOP on my list!
I've had 7 of the books in my collection, just left these 3 more to complete it.
But but but please keep in mind that I want the book in the smaller version.
Meaning, there might be 2 sizes of the books later, pick the smaller one, okay?
Haha. Because all the 7 books are of the same size, it would be great to make it uniform.
by Chuck Palahniuk
Yes, this book was published in 1996.
Yes, it is an awesome classic.
Yes, I would LOVE TO HAVE SUCH CREATIVE MASTERPIECE!!!
I'm sorry. I've only recently watched the movie. Got hooked and obsessed. And they say the book is a must-have for movie fans.
The book follows the experiences of an unnamed protagonist struggling with insomnia. The insomnia is aggravated by constant jet lag. It is also implied that he is isolated and often questions his work and values. Inspired by his doctor's exasperated remark that insomnia is not suffering, he finds relief by impersonating a seriously ill person in several support groups. An encounter with a fellow "tourist" - Marla - drives him back into insomnia. Again an insomniac, he happens to meet a mysterious anarchist named Tyler Durden and establishes an underground fighting club as radical psychotherapy.
by Stieg Larsson
This is pretty new. So it's probably the easiest one available right now.
Doesn't this book just sound so... I don't know.
Dying girl. Father kills her. Or government kills her.
She is in a coma. With a bullet in her head. And she is regarded as a criminal for 3 murders.
THIS is the winning formula to my interest in fictions <3
A young girl lies in a hospital room, her tattooed body very close to death -- there is a bullet lodged in her brain. Several rooms away is the man who tried to kill her, his own body grievously wounded from axe blows inflicted by the girl he has tried to kill. She is Lisbeth Salander, computer hacker and investigator, and the man is her father, a murderous Russian gangster. If Salander recovers from her injuries, she is more than likely to be put on trial for three murders -- the authorities regard her as a dangerous individual. But she won't see the inside of a courtroom if her father manages to kill her first.
by Jonathan Safran
A book that sounds intelligent about a boy genius plus a mystery search for God-knows-what.
Just can't resist this.
Meet Oskar Schell, an inventor, Francophile, tambourine player, Shakespearean actor, jeweler, pacifist. He is nine years old. And he is on an urgent, secret search through the five boroughs of New York. His mission is to find the lock that fits a mysterious key belonging to his father, who died in the attack on the World Trade Center. An inspired creation, Oskar is alternately endearing, exasperating, and hilarious as he careens from Central Park to Coney Island to Harlem on his search. Along the way he is always dreaming up inventions to keep those he loves safe from harm. What about a birdseed shirt to let you fly away? What if you could actually hear everyone's heartbeat? His goal is hopeful, but the past speaks a loud warning in stories of those who've lost loved ones before. As Oskar roams New York, he encounters a motley assortment of characters who are all survivors in their own way. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close boldly approaches history and tragedy with humor, tenderness, and awe.
There are loads more.
But I think this would do for the moment :)
