Fellas, people, helllloooooo! Let me inform you all that this week I have four days for final exams and after that I can be free from this... dungeon. Kidding, it's just university. I know it is not important you, anyone! But I am soooo happy, I could die! :333 So what's the problem if I tell you about it? *don't answer! It's a rethorical questions*
I have few plans tho for this break. Well, it's not well arranged yet, but I do know what I wanna do, at least for the next three months. Let's hope I don't die of boredom. In other side, I have broken up with Janne :" May he rest (from this relationship) in peace. I hope you are happy now, babe.. I mean 'dude'. And I hope he will read this blog sometimes! :p
Anyway, let's focus on the purpose why I want to bother myself to write this goddamn post, while tomorrow I have a bloody exam. Why? Because I am so excited! Soooooo excited, not because tomorrow is the second day of final exam, but there are some books waiting for me to read them this holiday :p OK, it sounds good tho.. and at some point it sounds lame for avid readers out there. Hey, I'm just enjoying myself, I don't care what people would say about this.
So here are the books on my list :
1. Cinta di Dalam Gelas (Andrea Hirata)
This is an interesting book, because there are actually two books in one package. I did read the Padang Bulan, so this holiday I must finish the other side of the book.
2. The Geography of Bliss: One Grump's Search for the Happiest Places in the World (Eric Weiner)
Ahah, I bought this book when I was still a high school kid. I know I must finish this book now or never. I have read it actually, but I have always stopped in the middle of the book. I think I got lost and now I have to go back from the start, for the second time.
3-4. The Buru Quartet (This Earth of Mankind - Bumi Manusia and Footsteps - Jejak Langkah, but I haven't bought the other two books of this quartet yet : Child of All Nations - Anak Semua Bangsa and House of Glass - Rumah Kaca) by Pramoedya Ananta Toer
When I bought these books, my father seemed unpleasant. Everyone knows Pramoedya! These books are serious one, I see, but I really really want to read these books. I need to up grade this brain. I read the reviews, and maaan, it looks so damn good. I haven't bought the second and the fourth book, tho. First, because those books were sold out and second... I don't have enough money :p
5. Please Look After Mom (Kyung Shook Shin)
I was surprised when I found this book was sold for Rp20.000,00 only! I went on internet and read the review, man it's so good, it even has more than 3 stars on goodreads (not four, but 3.7) so I bought it immediately. I don't read book which is written by asian author much actually (and by asian, I mean other authors than Indonesian), this book will be my second. I have no certain reason, not because I am a racist or what. Maybe because I don't find many Asian's translated books that I'm interested into. My bad. The first asian's book I read was... Soji Shimada's Tokyo Zodiac Murder. It was a very good book! I even cried in the last part of the book. Now let's give a try to this book :)
Okaaaay! Oh, I'm too lazy to post any pictures of it :p So, this is all, people, for the book stuffs. I will try to write some reviews of the books when I finish reading it. And also my first year in university review, I won't forget. So, okay. Have a nice day, and wish me luck for the exams! :)
