I like to be kept entertained and I always keep tabs on high quality books, music and films. If that sort of thing is a big deal to you too, browse through this page and see what I keep recommending to people over the years.
Yes, I did notice that I haven’t updated for the past five years for some time – big deal! These things are classic!

You have a nice sense about the books you like; I’m happy to see we have a few in common. You might want to check out “The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency” by Alexander McCall Smith – it’s less a detective story than a series of heartfelt character sketches as seen from the POV of the “traditionally-built” Precious Ramotswe. Get it if you find it – growing up in Davao, I could never find the books I wanted, although that might not be a problem these days. (Remember, all I had growing up was Velasco bookstore and that effin’ Alemars that used to be near Ateneo.)
Another thing you might want to check out – I always recommend LibraryThing to my bibliophile friends. It’s amazing how clear your book preferences become when you’ve cataloged the whole kit. Don’t worry, it’s ridiculously easy to enter your books – just enter the ISBN number, and the site will find the rest of the details for you. Here’s what my catalog looks like. Have fun.
Kim – I’d like to second micketymoc’s observation – you do indeed have a nice since about the books … some of which I’ve read and some of which I’ve now got to go and get! You’ll find my current bookcase way too dry four your tastes.
I’m enjoying your posts on the Davao music scene too.
What ever happened to Steve Martin? When I was growing up, he was one of my favorite actors. Now he seems to be churning out zillions of movie which don’t do him justice.
If I have the opportunity I will definitely read the books you listed here. So far I have read two. hehehe Lolita and a hundred years of Solitude.
Nice choice of books!
