bibliophiliaaaaaggghhh!

what i have been up to: BOOKS.  and here's what i am reading right now:

1. pride and prejudice - i'm sure you've either (a) read this in english class, or (b) watched the movie starring keira knightley. well, i did neither.  this book is something i am really enjoying right now (and i won't make kwento just so that you would too!). it's  exciting, kilig-inducing, downright funny, and super kulit all at the same time.

2. strunk and white's the elements of style - something i've had since my college freshman year and never got around to reading! tsk tsk tsk! the rules written in this book are really helpful and make writing so much easier. i actually grabbed my pencil and "agreed" with the authors on the page margins. it's a gold nugget for grammar geeks.

 

and then there's one book waiting for me: love in the time of cholera. i promised myself that i would not, WOULD NOT unwrap the plastic covering until i finished pride. it's still intact on my dusty bookshelf.  i'm excited to buy one hundred years of solitude too. gotta love book sales!
