    If so, that series is hilarious!! I read Confessions of a Shopaholic, Shopaholic Takes Manhatten, and Shopaholic Ties The Knot. They are phenomenal and great!

    Reading:
    - "Shopaholic & sister" by Sophie Kinsella, will recommend "Can You Keep A Secret" for people who like the Shopaholic series

    - "Chainfire" by Terry Goodkind, book 9 of Sword of Truth ...... OR book 1 of Chainfire trilogy. This is it folks. The end of this long journey (9 years!) is in sight ... 2 more books!

    I don't read much normally, but I've been reading the Chinese ghost/mystery story "sui lian" (shattered face). I stumbled upon it while checking out a Jin Yong story on a site. The story was so popular on the net that a publisher actually bought the rights from the author and published it.

    The story is about a mystery surrounding a med school where each year a student will jump to her death from the same room on the same date, and the victims all visited the campus morgue (where body parts are stored for study and dissection) after midnight.

    It's actually very well written except for a few minor spots. Only half of the story is on the net, you have to buy the book to finish the story.

    I'm trying to finish off "Grass for his Pillow" and start "Brilliance of the Moon" both by Lian Hearn.

    Eh half of the time, I feel that this author is too wordy with all these details and unneccessary scenes(flowery embellishments) in his books. It's safe to say sometimes i fall asleep while reading his Otori Tales Trilogy. The story is interesting but the way he writes it and chooses to tell the story just bores me to tears. Why am I still reading it then? Just hoping it gets better some how.

    I just love how you Captivate My Mind

    Perfume by Patrick Suskind. I'm halfway through it. Its pretty good. About this French guy who was born without scent. However, his sense of smell is really acute and can smell everything. Anyway, talks about how he murders people to get their scent. Its been highly recommended by heaps of people.

    Just finished Iris Chang's Thread of the Silkworm. It's about Tsien Hsue-shen, a scientist who was targeted in the U.S. during the Red Scare and was deported back to China. He then became the father of China's aeronautics program. It's a good read. I was quite inspired by this.

    Da Vinci's Code. I must be the only one in the world that has not read it. Everywhere I go, (in the trains, busses), i see people reading it. I'm nearly towards the end of the book and seriously, I dont get what the hype is all about.

    Yeah, I haven't read it either and don't think I will. I tried "Angels and Demons", don't like the style.

    I don't think that Dan Brown is a very good writer. There's nothing extraordinary about his prose. What he has though is a good imagination. I have read the Da Vinci Code and was fascinated by his ideas. But I didn't find anything in his style that truly stood out. Give me a Sheldon anytime.

    I haven't read it and don't plan to. I'm reading The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells now. So far it's pretty good.
