Karma Chameleon- Culture Clubi'm so bored out of my mind that i've decided to come up with a list of my most impactful reads, before i battle between watching Wimbledon (the cheesy movie) or Spain VS Tunisia.
in random order,
1. The Unbearable Lightness of Being- Milan Kundera
2. To Kill a Mockingbird- Harper Lee
3. The Minotaur Takes a Cigarette Break- Steven Sherrill
4. Lolita- Vladimir Nabokov (absolutely sinful!)
5. You Shall Know Our Velocity- Dave Eggers (this was quite messy really)
6. The Alchemist- Paulo Coelho
7. Eleven Minutes- Paulo Coelho
8. East of Eden- John Steinback
9. the whole Dave Pelzer trilogy
10. 1984- George Orwell
11. Lord of the Flies- William Golding
and not to forget all the Love Stories and Sweet Valley books that, honestly, made up my vocabulary,
plus Adam's Navel which i have yet to finish. (all the body parts stories are getting a little dry, but i'm now reading about breasts.)
reading is a good book is always such a joy!
it's funny how i gradually grew out of my country bumpkin style of 'hokkien and chinese only' to being more proficient in english. the only reason why i started reading was that my primary school best friend read a lot and had fantastic grades, so i wanted to be like her.
but that didn't work because she went to RGS and i went to New Town! ahahaha. still, there's nothing of my secondary school days that i'll ever give up. :)
