So I'm not going to over-verbalize my thoughts ... else I might get a couple of stinky tomatoes as well.<br /><br />I find Anne Rice novels a dud. I tried, persevered, pushed through, whatever you want to call it, I really did try to stick to reading it. I really did. I sat down and read through pages and pages of it only to find in the middle of my reading that what I was doing made me feel like I'm doing chores! I tried reading Blood and Gold for the sake of this blog but I would be lying to myself if I kept on with it. I'm a self-confessed bookworm but at least I &nbsp;enjoy the things I read about and really have been entertained by them, maybe caught a couple of life-shattering realizations. And yes, I am an avid fan of fiction and fantasy books, but these books left me looking to my bookcase in search of better things to read. <br /><br />Sorry na lang to my cousin who insisted that I read Blood Gold and Blackwood Forest. Es, sorry!!! Pahiram na lang ng Artemis Fowl ung Book 1.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9112176-110157468671387186?l=beni06.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Benihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07769228355121899564noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112176.post-1100183811857586722004-11-11T06:30:00.000-08:002011-12-17T09:52:05.096-08:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: 130%;">Time Worthy</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Books that you should allot time to read because they are a must!</i></div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Bible </li><li>Purpose Driven Life by Pastor Rick Warren</li><li>Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas by James Patterson </li><li>The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown</li></ul><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 130%;"><b>Read Worthy</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: 85%;"></span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Books that are enjoyable to read when you have the time to spare.</i></div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Artemis Fowl Series by Eoin Colfer </li><li>Harry Potter Series by J.K.
