Does anyone has Charles Dickens' Little Dorrit that they can loan me for 6 months? I can't seem to find it anywhere in bookstores here and my library version expires this weekend. I checked Kino, Borders and Popular but to no avail. And no, I have no credit card and it's too late to order online. I would greatly appreciate it if someone has it and is willing to lend me to accompany me for my time in Nepal.
A side note, the Bangkok situation has been somewhat better after Somchai's court ruling. But I remain cautious, since it's not 100% confirmed when the airport will be fully functional again. Major Sigh.
Back to books, I really don't understand the fuss over the Twilight series. If you have started reading it before all this bigg fuss over it, then good for you and I have nothing against you. But if you are one of those 'let's-hop-onto-the-bandwagon' people (aka my irritating sis) who only read popular books, then I pity you. You have zero taste in good books. One of my pet peeves is when I recommend you a book which I think you will like then you say no thanks and then one or two years later when it starts to get really popular and then you come back and tell me it's really good. A good book is a good book, it dosen't need all the viral marketing to make it better. A lousy book sucks to the core no matter how much you promote it. And yes, I read Harry Potter in 1998 and Eragon when it first got published, when they were still relatively unknown and no one would believe me then that they were great books. And right now I am telling you Twilight sucks. Go read Charlaine Harris Sookie Stackhouse series and you'll know that Stephenie Meyer basically plagarised the Sookie Stackhouse series, which first came out in 2001.
Find me Little Dorrit someone please. My second pet peeve is that I hate not being able to get my hands on books I want to read. I don't believe I can get my hands on a certain Rushdie banned book (sssh) and yet I cannot get Dickens' Little Dorrit. Sigh, it explains the state of Classics these days...
