   Haven’t read any in the list, although I do have a copy of the Chabon book. Only new books I read are C. Moore’s Scare Bleu, and A. Mccall Smith’s Limpopo Academy.
   Walang pumili sa kanila in the informal survey, but these are exquisitely-written books. Moore’s absurdly funny, and Smith’s book has a very languorous rhythm to it. It’s like sitting under the shade of an acacia tree on a summer afternoon, sipping unobtrusive cold tea with a friend sharing a comfortable silence with you.
   Too bad I have to stop and work.

   Wow, this is a surprise. Thanks a lot! Here are my picks:

   Narcopolis by Jeet Thayil
   The Sisters Brothers by Patrick Dewitt
   Imperial Bedrooms by Bret Easton Ellis

   I’m good with these three, but I’m hoping that Solace would let go of Emerald City by Jennifer Egan and/or Snow Country by Yasunari Kawabata. :D

   ruth: That’s 9. We’ll keep History of A Pleasure Seeker if it’s alright.

   angus25: If you don’t mind, we’ll give the Elmore Leonard and the music book to a friend who’s into the stuff. We’ll give the remaining hardcovers to Solace.

    I don’t mind that. At least someone’s going to read them.

    Ooops! Sorry. Yes, I’m okay with that. Thanks again for the books Jessica!

    Thanks, angus25. When your schedule permits, give Elmore Leonard a try. He writes clean, effortless, almost anti-literary prose. Good for clearing the palate.

    angus, ruth, Solace, your books have been delivered to National Bookstore in Rockwell. Just give your names to the Customer Service desk and tell them you’re claiming the bags of books. The gift cheques are inside. Enjoy.
