Books

I was tagged by Alfreaka about this book thing. i was never into books until high school. I think I am more of a collector than a reader up to now. I love movies and I wish this is what it's about instead. But at some time I had realized, some books are better than their movies. The first time I realized this was when I finished reading 'Harry Potter (The Sorcerer's Stone)'. My imagination was a lot better than the movie. I think it's only 'Memoirs Of A Geisha' which I think the movie was better than the book. Also, Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic Series disappointed me and most of all, the Confessions of A Shopaholic movie. The title sounds good but got me very disappointed. A waste of my time.

Rules: Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen books you've read that will always stick with you. First fifteen you can recall in no more than 15 minutes. Tag 15 friends.

1. Little Red Riding Hood

- The first book my mommy read me and bought me when I was 6, which I accidentally donated to the school’s mini library when I was in kindergarten. That’s what happens when you don’t pay attention in class. I tried swapping it but “teacher” won’t allow.

1.5 The Holy Bible

- I am not religious but I love reading the Bible and I am not embarrassed to admit that. I named my son after my favorite book which is “Matthew” means “God’s gift” and “Genesis” meaning “first”. Matthew Genesis. A.K.A Migue, Miguelito, Buchikoy.

2. The Happy Prince and other short stories – Oscar Wilde

- also one of the first books mommy gave me. First time I learned about poverty.

2.5 Encyclopedias and Encyclopedias For Kids
