| i got sarah’s key as a present from this guy, via atta who brought the book to jakarta.
it was months ago. i kept it in my bookshelf and not until a few days ago i started reading it.i thought the book will be another story about the jews during the world war II. well i was right, but maybe the way it was written or something made me love the book. it took me only a few days until i finished it. |
 |
next book: midnight children by salman rushdie
 |
my etsy favorite is updated. always excited finding handmade awesome stuff in etsy. |
|
|
sarah’s key is not bad at all. i really enjoy reading it. almost finish now. |
|
|
have been spending all weekends cleaning up the apartment. it takes time and energy, so i haven’t been anywhere lately. |
 |
finished reading how the world makes love by franz wisner.
i found the book was not as entertaining as the honeymoon with my brother. the trip has a reseach mission, so it feels like bussiness trip. i like vacation trip’s story better. much more fun. |
next book: sarah’s key by tatiana de rosnay

| j.d. salinger passed away.
the catcher in the rye is one of the book that i read again and again. i remember i read it the first time when i was in high school. the book was part of english literature class. |
 |
What really knocks me out is a book that, when you’re all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn’t happen much, though.
– the catcher in the rye - j.d. salinger
farewell, mr. salinger.
after months, i finally finished reading sea of poppies. yay!
 |
i have to admit this is a good book, i just can’t stand the indian terms i don’t understand. and they’re everywhere in the book.
the story sets during the beginning of 19th century in india, about a french girl who was born and grew up in india, about the opium which was planted in india to be traded in china, about an indian raja who was jailed, about the voyage in the ocean to madagascar. |
now reading: how the world makes love by franz wisner
 |
i haven’t read any new books lately. still stuck with sea of poppies for months. |
|
|
watched some movies from books i read: the girl with dragon tattoo and the time traveler’s wife |
|
|
is looking for the lovely bones the movie |
|
|
he got a new blog in tumblr. check it out. |
|
|
books waiting to be read: sarah’s key, how the world makes love, midnight’s children. |
Orang pada kurang paham, kalau Menteng itu nama buah, Bintaro itu nama pohon dan Kebon Jeruk, memang dulu di sana ada hamparan tanaman yang benar-benar jeruk buahnya. Sekarang, pendatang hanya kenal nama-nama itu sebagai kawasan gedongan. Tidak tahu dimana buahnya, tidak kenal dimana pohonnya, karena ditebang habis tanaman-tanamannya.

“ngapain bawa-bawa ensiklopedia?”
“ini bukunya dan brown.”
“oh.”
i read the hard cover version of the lost symbol without the jacket.
| i got my perahu kertas last friday, the book that i’ve been waiting for more than a year. i was reading a few chapters when i realized my book has the autograph of dewi lestari! yay! i’m still reading the book and already in love with it. with the set |
 |
i still love supernova better (i hope there are still more of them) but perahu kertas is not bad at all.
 |
|
 |
i’m not sure if the book can be found easily in bookshops, but you can collect points in timezone to get the book! |
|
|
the first 30 pages can be downloaded here |
|
|
i almost failed my mission because the book is so interesting and it’s almost impossible to read it slowly |
|
|
i like the way she tells story with some funny sketches and her thoughts about life. |
|
|
i’m glad this is a fat book, i still have pages to go before really finish reading it. |
|
|
when did the last time i read a square shaped book? i can’t remember.
|
i’m on another mission: to read less book.
it’s
not because i don’t like reading book so much like before, it’s just
because there are more and more of them, invading spaces in my room.
 |
because of this reason, it took me a month to read white tiger. the book is the winner of the man booker prize 2008 and all bookshops put it on the front display table.
i read a lot of books written by indian writers, but most of them |
 |
watched in search of midnight kiss. a lovely indie movie you should watch. i didn’t realize it was black and white until i checked about the movie in imdb. |
|
got the other hand by chris cleave at sukarno hatta airport and finished reading it. an interesting book to read, about something i’ve never known before: oil war in nigeria. |
|
now reading: remember me? by sophie kinsella |
|
i almost run out of books to read!  |
|
going to add a new furniture in my room, but not a bookshelf. |
 |
i’m never tired reading peter moore’s books. vroom with a view is his fifth book i read so far. in this one, instead of jumping from one country to another, he spent the travel inside italy only.with sofia, his vespa from 1961, he traveled from milan in the north to rome in the south, passing the small cities and villages, through the unusual road that wasn’t popular with the tourists. |
next book: the other hand by chris cleave
 |
|
 |
the book is published after the autor’s death |
|
this is the first book of a trilogy. the next sequel, the girl who played with fire, will be published this year. |
|
the set of the story is in sweden, i checked the map of sweden to see the places, but apparently i need more detail map. |
|
it’s about mistery, family saga and financial intrigue. |
|
i blame the book for making me sleep less. |
|
a movie from the book was made and released at the beginning of this year. check out the trailer here. |
 |
finally i finished reading a fraction of the whole by steve toltz. the book was not bad at all *and funny!*, but i really need an effort to read it. |
|
|
next book to read: the good husband of zebra drive by alexander mccall smith |
|
|
watched angles and demons. it’s always excited me to watch movies from books i read. |
|
|
all serials i’m watching are already in their last episode of current season. i hate to live without those serials. |
|
|
burned my arm while baking  |
|
|
haven’t visit any bookshop for a long long time (the ones in the airports doesn’t count). |
|
|
spent last weekend in the rain, but i had a good time  . |
|
|
tried this easy recipe. me loves scones  . |
 |
still reading a fraction of the whole by steve toltz. it will take a while until i really can finish it. |
|
|
watched okuribito (departures). an interesting movie. won the best foreign movie in oscar 2009. it’s all about death. |
|
|
watched claudia/jasmine. i didn’t expect it would be good. but it was! |
|
|
one of my resolution for this year is to cook more. and i proudly say, i’ve been cooking for almost every weekend. it’s never something fancy, but i really enjoy it. |
|
|
my other resolution is to write more articles. wish me luck for this one. |
