Indonesians Who Love English Books discussion

I have just finished a short story written by an Indonesian writer in English. Only 35 pages and free to download from goodreads.The Other Door.

May be anyone fancy to read it.

Finished with The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. Definitely my favorite book of 2014!

Next, maybe the Magician ...

Well, let see..i am finished reading: little bee (christ cleave) and lamb (Christopher moore). Little bee is so beautiful and touching story while Lamb is sooo funny!Now i read Don't breathe a word by Jennifer McMohan, sooo thrilling!

I am now reading Thinking, Fast and Slow. As far as I can remember this is my very first psychology book I read.

Just finished How My Summer Went Up in Flames by Jennifer Doktorski then i continued on The Coldest Girl in Coldtown from where i left off!

I just finished reading the fourth book of the vampire academy series, Blood Promise. I was on the fifth book, Spell Bound right now. But it was kinda slow and it wasn't really as interesting as the previous books.

currently I read back to blood by tom wolfe..

Reading the Harry Potter for the first time, starting with Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
I'm kind of embarrassed of this but I know that the series will be awesome!
Better late than never, right? Hehe :)

Finished with The Black Count: Glory, Revolution, Betrayal, and the Real Count of Monte Cristo, a very fascinating look on the origin of the famous Count of Monte Cristo and French revolution (it's not Marie Antoinette's fault that French went bankrupt).

Also reading The Knife of Never Letting Go, very exciting read!

Finished with Magician (it turns out to be quite enjoyable; I'm putting the next installment of the trilogy in my to-buy list), now I'm reading Under Heaven.

Right now I'm currently re-reading The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown and reading Tess of the D'Urbevilles by Thomas Hardy. I've got Sense and Sensibility waiting so I need to finish Hardy's really quickly.

WOW! I've been interested in How My Summer Went Up in Flames for quite a long time. Is it good?

Just started reading Let the Right One In. :D

Reading The Fourth Crusade and the Sack of Constantinople, yet another history book. It is very interesting though, strange how a small mistake could cause so much tragedies.

Finished with The Knife of Never Letting Go and am on to the next book!

Finished with Back to Blood, Bad Blood and Warm Bodies

currently continue to The Racketeer

Just finished The First Man in Rome. Awesome book.. as gripping as A Game of Thrones, but in the historical setting of the Middle-Era Roman Republic.

It's really refreshing to read a good book about personages (Gaius Marius, Lucius Cornelius Sulla) that tend to be forgotten as they are overshadowed by more popular events/people before (First Punic War/Hannibal Barca/Scipio Africanus) and after (Julius Caesar/Gallic War).

Now starting the second book of the series, The Grass Crown.

I have just finished Blind Descent: The Quest to Discover the Deepest Place on Earth and currently I am reading The Damage Done.

I should read lighter books next.

@Debs: Ah, I know what you mean. I once read Columbine, then The Age of Miracles, followed by Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity, and topped with Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness. It did left me feeling quite down somewhat.

@Anny : I still have to read The Search which I borrowed from library and due in a week before I have to return it.

Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity on my to read list, I have not found the book yet.

Ah...I havent shared what I read in March. I am currently reading Wonders of Life by Prof Brian Cox.

Great book that combine biology and the law of physics

I have just finished The damage done : twelve years of hell in a Bangkok prison and am currently reading I Am a Cat plus 100 Ways to Save the World

Finished reading Half-Blood Blues which is somewhat so-so. I don't know if it was me or the book. Nothing new form-wise, the plot somewhat lacking, the characters're okay but I agree the writing style is really convincing.

Now reading either An Unnecessary Woman by Rabih Alameddine or Captain Corelli's Mandolin by Louis de Bernieres (it's difficult writer's-name month).

Reading-listening to Unbreakable by Elizabeth Norris.

Finished with 37.Life of Pi by Yann Mattel

Currently reading
38. World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by max brooks
39. Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Cua

Currently reading Divergent.
Reading it before seeing the movie :)

I just finished The Missing Link by JM Sevilla and already started on the next sequel Becoming Noah Baxter.
Very interesting story line with beautifully written characters, finished the first book on one sit :) This is the kind of book I would like to re-read several times.

Finished with Hallucinations by Oliver Sacks, a very interesting non-fiction book about hallucinations and why otherwise normal people could also experience hallucinations.

Starting The Cat's Table, a book by the author of the English Patient.

Finish reading , which have too much drama compare to the previous book (sstt, you might want to read my review about this book on Goodreads ;))

I have abandoned I Am a Cat too boring. I have finished 100 Ways to Save the World and currently I am reading The Search.
Follows by Isambard Kingdom Brunel , Garden Birds and Wildlife. Mike Toms and Paul Sterry and Lion Country: From the IVT Series

Currently reading Just Listen by Sarah Dessen.
So far so good :)

Currently rereading RING by Suzuki Koji.

I first read it in Indonesian language but now I found the English version and reading to read all three of them. I love the movie and immensely enjoy the book

Girl, Stolen by April Henry

Finished with Three Men in a Boat, all humor-lover should read this book.

Moving on to A Visit from the Goon Squad. Seems like it's going to be a depressing read.

@Anny Oohh.. I love Three Men in a Boat. My favorite! :) You may want to check out the sequel, Three Men on the Bummel. I still haven't found the time to finish it though, but I think it's as funny. :)

@Juliana: Um, humor is not exactly my favorite theme for fiction, so maybe not :-P

In fact, most of my humorous books are non-fiction:
- Heads in Beds: A Reckless Memoir of Hotels, Hustles, and So-Called Hospitality
- The Know-It-All: One Man's Humble Quest to Become the Smartest Person in the World
- The Ig Nobel Prizes

currently reading Nadja by Andre Breton and anyhow, couldn't finish Botchan, too boring for my taste :-P

Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl...I've watched the movie but it make me curious to know how and why bc you know sometimes we missed the important part of the story.

Currently reading Panic by Lauren Oliver.

how was the book? I'm actually consider to buy this book also, but it is quite...thick hahaha

Just finished South of the Border, West of the Sun and I finished the final chapters in a cab when I was on my way home. That condition has prevented me to shed my tears. If I read the final chapters in my room, I probably cry my heart out like a lonely wolf. That fleeting feeling that you always get every time you read Murakami's books is totally there. Until now. Love this book so much.

Currently reading The Briefcase (I read the UK version titled "Strange Weather in Tokyo). As the synopsis said, it's an old fashioned romance in modern Tokyo. 10 pages left. I love this book so far.

Reading this book gives you a melancholy feeling, similar to the feeling after several gulps of beer, I guess. Don't know why I said that, it's just how it feels when I read it hehe.

On-off reading The Namesake and Will Grayson, Will Grayson . I've got this problem with books right now. Book-hoarding too much and become indecisive to choose which books that I have to read next.

Reading The Republic of Thieves, I really really hope this one doesn't end in cliffhanger since who knows how many years it'll take before the fourth book getting published.

Also reading The Corpse Walker: Real Life Stories, China from the Bottom Up. Sociology. Those living on the bottom of the burgeoning society.

Finish reading The Curse Breakers, if you love UF genre with romance, I'll recommend this. The love triangle was handled very well

And reading Covet. I don't know, this book have a big issue, cheating. And I know not everyone love cheat plot. But Covet is, simply put, open my mind about marriage. I think whether you married or not, you must read this one.

I'm reading convenant series. Again. LOL. Love this story so much.

I just finished The Winner's Curse and it's not as good as I expected.

Currently not reading anything, but will find something soon.

Reading The Picture of Dorian Gray, fascinating and confusing, I don't really get what Lord Henry was talking about most of the times.

Going to read Life of Pi next. :D

Currently reading Anna and the French Kiss :)

I'm currently re-reading Insurgent by Veronica Roth.

I'm gonna read the Finisher by David Baldacci (if I remember that name correctly) nextt

I'm reading "It Started With a Kiss" by Miranda Dickinson (got it from Kobo as an ebook, it started slowly and got little bored but when halfway through it's happen to be so much interesting, and "The Winter Wolly" by Lulu Taylor (got it from Kinokuniya Plasa Senayan)

Just finished , The third book in the trilogy. Now reading
