LOL. so after doing the magazines, went down to the children's section to look for mak&tay. yups. and we shelved the childrens' books. liew, they really have ALOT mans. from preschools(P) to short stories(S) to in alpha order to in numbers orders. I ALMOST ALMOST DIED OK. it was like a never ending job lah ! like u put nicely and arranged one TROLLEY of books, u witness children running around and taking all the books out and throwing them all around agn. ?!?!?!?! hahaha. so we did until 2 and we really couldnt take it alr, so we asked for break and lunched @ the new kopitiam at jec. yups. saw TANZHONGXIAN ! haha. but he didnt see me. ): lag kidd. hahaha.

hmms. right, so. i dont know why, but i have this crazy insane desire to blog abt this book im reading !!! hahaha. its by stephen king, and its titled salem's lot. yups. have always heard abt this famous author but nvr really got down to getting his books. no idea why too. hahaha. so finally picked up this book a couple of wks ago and finally got to touch it last night since i was seriously bored. hoho. and i havent been actually able to put the book down. like im really really ADDICTED to it. its kinda of a horror tale and i guess halfway through the book, i can understand why he's one of the bestselling authors in the world. hahs. the writing really impresses me, like it actually STICKS around in my head u know. hardly books tht i read get to have such effect on me cos mainly they are kinda like, READ-AND-THE-END kinda books. but this one ? i`ll give a rating of 4.6 out of five. hahah. and mark my words, im only HALFWAY through. the climax there and its really really addictive. very good book in fact. :D:D am very happy i got this book !! ahaha. i mean like, most horror tales i read are like really immature and leave u go, WTH. haha. but this one ? it keeps u going back for more and u know, its kinda terrifying too. scary a lil, but its more of CHILLING. like gosh, i dont even know how to describe but it really sends the chills down ur spine. yupps. very very good. hahaha !

and so, based on this book alone, i shall promote him to one of my all time fav author and the book, all time fav too then ! hoho ! so...

( regardless of ranks )
1. BERNARD CORNWELL ( IM SORRY I CANT REALLY RMBER THE LAST NAME. but i`ll check it out. :D)
-- for his excellent works of just 3 BOOKS. the king arthur trilogy. u see, there was once i was really really MAD and crazy abt king arthur. u know tht king from the middle age ? yups. fell totally in love with the 3 books. they were simply very well-written. from the portrayal of wht king arthur was like, the love gained and lost, the brotherhood, the loyalty of the knights and the best of all, the battle scenes. the battle scenes were sososo well written u cld really just pictured EVERYTHING out. from the sword ( Excalibur ) to every strategy and moves made upon the enemy, it was like as if u were there together with the army and fighting. i cld say it was even written better than Lord Of The Rings. yupps. out of the three, i really really liked Excalibur the most, which was also the last book of the trilogy. splendid and yes, the battle scenes were at the PEAK. haha. besides, it was written not as king arthur, but a knight of his tht he really really trusted. a loyal one in fact.
ratings -- 4.9/5 :D:D

2. AGATHA CHRISTIE
-- one of the best detective stories' author. yups. her books are always tht refreshing, straight forward and yet, the plot and ending is always tht unpredictable. like u always thought u had it solved out and things like, " HE/SHE MUST BE THT MURDERER" running through your mind, and whn u reach one of the last few pages to realise tht you got it all totally wrong. and the fact tht u submit totally to the woman who wrote it becos she just got everything so smoothly planned tht u might have just slapped your forehead and exclaimed., " WHY DIDNT I THINK OF THAT", instead of going " HUH. CHEY. " YES. tht is the impact and feelings i always always get after putting her books down ! haha. one of my favourite crime detective author. :D:D

ratings -- 4/5

3. ROBIN COOK
-- hmms. a new guy on the block too actually. been really smitten with his works recently tht whnever i go to the library, i always leave with at least one of his works. yups. a medical person who turned author. a thriller author in fact. even though he uses those really CHIM medical terms tht cld sometimes leave u pretty annoyed, u cant deny the fact tht he is another one tht can really make the plot go so smooth and u wish u cld finish reading the book before putting it down anyway. yups. another addicting writer. lols. always starts slow in the introduction but managed to hook u on to the story before ur interest wanes, and i must add, always on the time. just whn u feel like forgetting about the book, it hooks u on and immediately u will forget abt the thinking. yes. good one. :D

ratings -- 4.5/5

4. last but not least, the guy who i`ve mentioned earlier on. STEPHEN KING
-- i cant really comment much since im not even through with the first book of his tht i`ve picked up, but seriously, he has done more than he can to impress me. ALOT. ((:

ratings -- 4.6/5, for the time being. ;)

well, there you go. haha. PLS DONT ASK ME WHY I EVEN BROACHED THIS SUBJECT HERE. haha. i have no idea either ! hahahaha. my guess ? maybe its the 11hours in the library tht has done me so much damage. lols. but of cos, im dying to get back to my book if u wld excuse me people. meanwhile, if u have any books to recommend to me, by all means go ahead ! i'll be more than willing to check them out ! guess im in a very very good mood recently to curl up in my couch and start reading pages off pages ! :D:D
