I love Penguin Classics!!!!!





The reason I'm camwhoring with a book (that is 1500 pages thick by the way)?


Because it's only RM8.50. I LOVE YOU PENGUIN CLASSICS MUAH MUAH MUAH MUAH MUAH MUAH!

All their books are only RM8.50, regardless of the number of pages and whatnot. I was so happy to find Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace! I love Russian history and this book has been quoted so many time in my textbook I just had to have it.

If only they made the books look nicer!
I love my Penguin too AND my Russian History too! Wee.

Wrote my EE on The Russo-Japanese War on 1904-1905. And my IA on The Tsars or something :D

Well, now that I remembered War and Peace, I remembered my Anna Karenina collecting dust on the bookshelf. Haha!

If you want, I can sell mine to you. It's Penguin Classics too. But the one with the black cover.

History HL, Favourite subject yet!
Probably because my teacher was mighty awesome!
Somehow in Malaysia, I hated History. But, here I love it!

I read about your 69 books project, and trust me, while doing your EE and IA's, I can almost guarantee you would read at least 100 books over the next year. :)

Was going to tell a funny story about how I confused the Tsars, (well, they had the same name!) then I realize, probably no one here would find it funny at all. And I would be spamming. :/

Michelle Chin, haha no it's ok!

Lisa, omg TELL TELL just TELL ME hahahaha no one here would get it that's true! You're just like me! I love History HL too! My teacher is awesome too! And another teacher is even more awesome but he doesn't teach me so yeah :( But it's ok because he teaches me TOK. Is your TOK teacher hot too? I'm suffering so much from the summer work load now I feel like crying.

Don't lie. Someone who claims to read such deep books would not come up with two childish teenlike, chic lit sort of books. Liar.

I bought Tolstoy's War and Peace months ago too (after screaming about the fact that it is 8.50 and omg it's Tolstoy!!!!!)
But I got distracted by other books, which are piling up. Abandoning it till after my exams. Sigh.

Hola Mayzhee!
Just wondering; is the rejuvenating orange pads from Sasa (the ones in your April post) good? How do you find it? :)

RM8.50 cant even buy a toilet paper with that.
I recommend u read time bombs in malaysia by lim kit siang. it's about malaysia history~

anonymous - I'm not here to flame you.. but I really think that writing chit lit and reading deep books has no correlation. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of people out there who read deep books and yet, read chic lit. What's wrong with it? We're living in the world full of choices.

I LOVE CLASSICS TOO! IM CURRENTLY READING LOADS OF CLASSICS. =) BY THE WAY. FOR THE PUBLISHING THING, CAN I SEND YOU A SHORT STORY INSTEAD OF A BOOK? HEES.

May Zhee said...

karyn531, that's a good book! If you are reading it for the right reason :)

Jewell, because Penguin classic is awesome!!

Anonymous, sure so my reviews in that book blog of mine are totally not written by me.

caffe_latte, same like me!!!!!!!!!! I just had to have it! Yeah but I doubt I'm ever gonna read it leh hahahah it's just one of those books that you have to have!

Natty, ohhh they don't really do much. I just bought them because I thought they were cute! Like I didn't even use them.

R, if it's allowed to be sold in Malaysia how truthful can it be?

yuhhui, my sentiments exactly. Thank you dear! :)

Wailynn, of course!! Just a description will do!
