    Is it really that good? I've heard that Haruki Murakami's books are translated and they are pretty weird in a good way. Hmm... perhaps i'll try 'kafka on the shore' or 'a wild sheep chase' soon.

    yeah, they are pretty weird, if u want to start murakami's books, start it off with norweign wood

    Now reading:

    Silver Sister by Lillian Ng
    Published by Mandarin Australia
    First runner-up for the 1993 Angus & Robertson Bookworld Prize

    Tells the story of Ah Pah who was orphaned at 14 in the Chinese village of Lung Sun. She then joins the "sisterhood" of domestic servants and achieves financial independence unknown to most Chinese women of her time.

    Its a poignant and heart-warming tale of her struggles in China, her survival in Japanese-occupied Singapore and ultimately to the freedom of present-day Australia.

    Who is the author? I just came back fr London, certainly didn't know this 'fact'!

    His stories are too weird for me to digest, and probably its not true? He's fiction writer.....

    I read 2 bks of his... and no chemistry.... me and him...

    But! If anyone wanna try a new writer (not that new anyway) Jodi Picoult.

    Her stories are fictions, heart-wrenching and is usually family based. Try her out.

    it's a blend of fiction and fact .... it's meant to be weird... and i like it that way i guess...

    Hmm... I won't say her books are as chic-lit as Sophia's. I got bored reading Sophia's book after 2 of them.

    As for Neil Gaiman's... ever read one of his book where he wrote of his version of Heaven and Jesus and the fallen angel? Interesting to me.... still makes me smile with his wild imagination.
