Question for Day 5 is….

A book that makes you happy.

……

……

……

Okay I admit I have difficulty to answer this question. Reason being: I always read depressing, mystery, or death-related books which are hard to consider as a happy book. And even though some of the books I read are considered a non-fiction imaginary creative books, sometimes I don’t really feel happy reading it – mostly I only feel mindfucked, which is what I actually searching for because I read books to stimulate my minds, not actually to feel happy.

If I want to be happy, I usually go out socializing with my friends.

Having said that, I can’t skip these question, right? So here goes a long staring in front of my book collections…

Okay found a happy-children-book called…

The Greatest Blogger in the World by Andrew McDonald.

The story revolves around a kid who writes a blog to compete in a competition called “The Greatest Blogger in the World”. The happy story doesn’t revolve around his blog anyway, but it’s more on what he encounters day in day out and his way of writing in his blog, and how his friend find out his blog, and how his blog be the source of the problems in later day.

Oh well that’s more or less about it. I think I read this book in.. two hours? Had some smile and chuckled  and that’s about it. Then it resides in the closet at the back. I can’t recall the exact story by the way, and I think I bought this book from the Big Bad Wolf sales? LOL

P/s: The next episode will continue next Monday for easy counting and for the reason that I don’t write on weekends. So stay tuned next Monday for episode 6 and above!

Question for Day 4: Favourite book of your favourite series.

My answer: The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman

(Okeh kita letak gambar lain sket kali ni )

Comparing this to the other two books in the series, I am most in awe with the golden compass and not the amber knife or the spyglass. The other two items in the other two books stretched your imagination to other worlds, which is quite hard to relate to, so it might make some people turned off when reading it.

But the first book is the best in the series. I think when the author writes this, he writes it with all the commitment and passions, but the second and third book it slowly withers. Oh just my speculation only.

And do you know at first this book was called “The Northern Lights”? Sounds not gorgeous, so they changed it to “Golden Compass” when the book hit Northern America market. No, that’s a fact and not my speculation.

Day three already? LOL.

Question for today: Your Favourite Series

My answer: His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman

Yes it is also commonly known as “The Golden Compass” series.

The movie is not that good, it is actually quite meh since I’ve read the book first before watching the movie. The plot of the movie and the book is different from the arrangement point of view.

But I love this book series very much compared to Harry Potter series or even the Lord of the Ring series. For me, the vocabulary is very rich and it takes more creativity to imagine all those daemon and make sense of it, in terms of writing the whole story to be coherent.

You know who I like the most in this story? Iorek Byrnison, the white armoured bear

P/s: Dils, at this point I think it’s better to write this in a Tumblr. Then no need to write much comments. Luckily I don’t have a Tumblr account LOL!
