Last Book for February

7. A Model World, Michael Chabon. Booksale bin, php110. This is the 2nd book by Chabon na nabasa ko this year and ever in my life, actually. This collection has 2 parts: A Model World and The Lost World. This latter half follows Nathan Shapiro from the time he was ten years old and realized that something was wrong with his parents' marriage to the time that he was sixteen and had just fallen in with a new crowd of boys that worried his parents to no end.

All in all, the book presents to us a variety of characters caught on the verge of something really painful. But I think his other book, yung Werewolves in Their Youth, was able to give them more poignancy than this one. But this is still a good read.

Kapos pa ako ng isang libro to round out the required number of books up to this point. Pero happy din ako dahil nakahabol pa ako ng isang libro para sa Pebrero. Considering that I started reading only in the 3rd or 4th week of January, di na rin masama.

Kanina I saw this book called The Effects of Living Backwards and I even reserved it. Pero ngayon nagdadalawang isip na ako kung kukunin ko pa ba siya. Di gaano kagandahan ang mga reviews. They all say the same thing--na magaling yung author sa paggamit ng lenggwahe niya, but that it could sometimes get to the point na overly done siya at nagiging annoying na rin. Oh well. I have until Thursday to decide. Saka may mga nakalinya na rin naman akong ibang libro in case di yun ang babasahin ko.
