Comments

  1. -The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
    -anything by Cecelia Ahern :) check PS I love you, Where Rainbows End (aka Love, Rosie or Rosie Dunne) and If you could see me now.
    -Veronika Decides to Die by Paolo Coelho, the first half is useless but it gets better!
    -Life of Pi by Yann Martel
    -Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

    I guess you probably know most of them if not all, but they are all that I could think of beside Classics :)
    get well soon xx

  2. have you already read the books from Stieg Larsson? (the Girl with the dragon tattoo, the girl who played with fire...) It's called the Milenium edition. the first book was already filmed and hits theaters soon.
    For more romantic I also like Nicholas Sparks, Marc Levy.
    I ordered another Jodie Picoult the last days, I read my sisters keeper couple month ago and it was really heart moving. And in about ten days the new Dan Brown - The lost Symbol will be released. Hope there is something you like....All the best and get well soon

  3. Ahh!!

    The Elegance of the Hedgehog

    The History of Love by Nicole Krauss

    Extremely loud and incredibly close (If you haven't read it)

    The unbearable lightness of being by Milan Kundera (This is on top of my favorite books list!!)

  4. As Jess suggested: Eat, Pray, Love. I personally believe every woman should read this book. I absolutely love it. Also, you get carried away by her travels so hopefully it will help you forget you are stuck and bored (although it might make you want to travel too...).

    I personally love the classics, especially F. Scott Fitzgerald. Tender is the Night is a favorite of mine.

    The Bell Jar, by Sylvia Plath. It's not necessarily the best cheer-me-up book, but I still think it's a great book.

    When I'm stuck somewhere (like on a long flight/in an airport, etc.), I like to read girly books. I recently finished one by Candace Bushnell (author of Sex and the City) called One Fifth Avenue. It was a fun book...and, blogging becomes central to part of the plot!

    I hope you find something among everyone's suggestions that takes you away from your boredom!!

  5. Oh wow...I have far too many that I would list!

    Um...how about...
    --Life of Pi
    --something inspirational (I can see that Eat, Pray, Love is a common suggestion)
    --A Prayer for Owen Meany OR The Cider House Rules (John Irving is, in my opinion, great)
    --something by George Orwell
    --or you could always revert back to awesome easy reads, like "Tales of Beedle the Bard" :)

  6. Hello!!!!
    Interesting new design for your blog! A book I recently read and suggested to a fellow Chica was Gotham Diaries. I will have a review of it on my blog in a day or so!

    Hope you are well and feeling better!

    Smooches,
    Sassy Chica

  7. I just finished "Life of Pi" and recommend it. I am also a huge David Sedaris fan. I love to read right before bed and Sedaris is light and makes me laugh :)

  8. White Oleander
    Invisible Monsters (and whatever other Chuck Palahniuk you can get your hands on)
    The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime
    House of Leaves (if you're feeling ambitious, and have two free months to get through it)

  9. I enjoy works by Maeve Binchy (esp. The Glass Lake) and Phillipa Gregory (The Other Boleyn Girl- much better than the film)

  10. - The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
    - The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver
    - Can you keep a Secret? by Sophie Kinsela
    - Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

  11. I concur with the Chuck Palahniuk recommendation, sans Snuff. You can probably scrap Pygmy too.

    I read a lot of memoir. I would suggest My Lobotomy by Howard Dully. Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs by Chuck Klosterman, Killing Yourself to Live by Chuck Klosterman, Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel, I am Charlotte Simmons by Tom Wolf, 1984, The Trial, A Brave New World, any Jean Paul Sartre, and for brain candy: Jodi Piccoult.

A day in San Francisco — Memorial Day

If you have followed my blog for sometime, you probably know about my big move across coast. It's been a few months being a Cali resident, but I haven't gotten out as much as I would have liked.  Maybe once we move to a place, it kinda loses the tourist charm that it has when we visit for a weekend. Don't you think? I decided to make this right and this Memorial Day weekend, I spent my first Touristy day in San Francisco. Like anything else, I made a long list of places to see, and spread it across three days based on distance proximity. Yes, it was a whole weekend plan but life get in way and hence it ended up being just a day trip. The day started with a little detour at Bay Trail, near Shoreline Park, followed by a quick brunch at Crepe Vine and a beautiful long drive to the city. The Painting Ladies at Alamo Square was our first stop. These are basically just houses with a Victorian architecture and painted with three or more colors. The whole area l

What if ... ?

What if — an agonizing feeling that no one is spared from.  We all find ourselves in situations where we look back and think about things we  have done, things we should have done, things we should not have done, or things we should have done differently. They are not necessarily regrets, but more of questioning and second-guessing the choices we have made. I for one get this feeling a lot, and I find myself thinking about how life could have been if my choices would have been different.  What if I studied harder in school:   I would have gotten into a better college with more opportunities, which means better job and satisfaction. But, who can guarantee that would have happened- so I'd rather be happy about the other things I did and not just study all the time. What if I stayed at my old job:  I would have gotten to be roommates with my best friend for a much longer time, and would have definitely enjoyed more and I wouldn’t be stressed because of studying, assi
