My pride and joy!

My Book and Novel collections are my prized possession. I never loved books in my youth and frankly i hated reading. So i'm kinda like a late bloomer, i realized this interests right after college that eventually became my hobby.  This all started when i have been periodically reading my sister's Magazines. Later, i noticed i have been checking out frequently all the articles i loved to read everytime my sister buys a new issue. It kept me updated and entertained for a while but it was just not enough for me. So i started to collecting my own Magazines a month after that. I have keen interest in articles about healthy living, lifestyle, new technology and GIRLS. NO! its not what you think, i pledge my respect to women. We all know Men love women, right? i respect women as much as i love my collection. So FHM became My very first collection and as far as i can remember i started back in 2007. I may have missed a few issues but it kept me updated of variety of information. You can attain a lot of information from FHM not just showcase of Girls, they literally got everything! That is where i started loving novels because they also have articles about best selling books.  


 So i started with the Book of Mark Bowden's Finder's Keepers: A story of a man who found a $1 million dollar. My wife got this from her friend. I was just curious of its contents which eventually led me to finishing the whole novel. No doubt I loved it! By the way, the Author is very notable of his works like Black Hawk Down which was made a movie. 

Craving for more, my next book was Twilight saga which in that time was very popular among teen. If you haven't heard of it, SHAME ON YOU! haha... not really. This book is about a story of a girl who fell in love w/ a vampire so as the vampire w/ her and additional mythical creature which are a formidable foes of vampires, the werewolves, but according to the book they are called shape shifter. Although the fiction characters thwarted a lil bit what most people are adapted to however its uniqueness quite catch the readers. The author of this book is Stephenie Meyer.

What followed after are books from Sidney Sheldon. Which by the way is my wife's favorite author and he got tons of this, but, i never had the chance to read it all. The only books i manage to read are The sky is falling and Doomsday conspiracy. Not really my cup of tea but it will do for the meantime. 

A teen genre, thriller, mythical, and lil bit of romance, this became my benchmark for a good novel. I did a lil research and found out about the controversial author Dan Brown. I'm very proud to say that i read all of his works: Trilogy (Angel's and Demons, Davinci's Code and Lost symbol), Deception point and Digital Fortress. All his novels has literally elements of Conspiracy from secret societies which brings up the thrill to all readers. His two books were also brought to the big screen: Angels and Demons and Davinci's Code.

Books after books, i finally created my list of favorite authors. One of them is Paulo Coelho but I haven't completed all the books yet, is a long way to go and there is no way i'm stopping. His Books has only a few pages but it consists of thousands of meanings. That is why i love his novels. This is what i've got so far: The Alchemist, Valkyries and The Zahir.

Some of the book i read are recommendations by my friends and some online. One in particular is the book by Yann Martel: Life of Pi. It has gruesomeness in its story but it also incorporates stories about religions, that makes it very interesting. I never really understood the end of the story, but that is what makes it unique. The author intends to make the readers minds puzzled depending on how readers would interpret there would really no specific ending. I'm still considering buying his other books.

And last but not the least, my favorite author so far is Dean Koontz, has uniquely intriguing suspense thriller Novels and science fictions. I happened to buy his book from a book sale and i'm just glad i did. Every flip just brings up the intensity whether its romance or suspense making readers feel the story very realistic. And all books he wrote are based on scientific facts, no wonder it made me feel like it happened in real life. He wrote quite number of books but he never let me down so far. So i'll keep on reading and keep on collecting.


This by far has brought my drive to collect books and novel without limit. I'm looking forward to collect all of the volumes by each author i have. I have completed one so i'm pretty sure i can do it also with other authors. I got an eye on this authors: Nicholas Sparks(Walk to remember), Chuck Palahniuk(Fight club), J.D Salinger (The cather in the rye) and  Rick Riodan (Percy Jackson and the olympians)
