Book Survey

I just found this on my blog walking. Cited from Winna Effendi's official blog, I just realize that there's a difference between writer book list and ordinary person book list. Hahaha...

My books selection were mostly about romance and non-fiction. Less numbers on Classical books T_T. I really wanted to read all the classics first. However, here was the thing. Back in my hometown, I didn't have access to go to public library so often, it was faraway. Second reason or excuse you may say, we didn't have a lot of imported books at the bookstores. The real excuse is, now I can read and write in English, I prefer to read imported book in English, not in Indonesian translation. hehehe. I can go to Periplus and grab English written books and drown my self into it; however, I am still hooked by Indonesian non-fiction, and there's a bad habit of me, I am not a good reader, since if it's not really enjoyable (in my opinion), I will finish it very late, just like what I am reading right now. Amba by Laskmi Pamuntjak. A very heavy Indonesian literature in my standard haha. But, interesting theme. Anyway, I just do this survey for fun! :D

Author you’ve read the most books from:

Dewi Lestari and Clara Ng I guess. Both are Indonesian authors. All of Dewi Lestari's books I have read. On the other hand, I only read Clara Ng's metropop selections and her early books. Love "Tiga Venus" and "Dimsum Terakhir" so much. I like her collaboration with Icha Rachmanti as well in "Pintu Harmonika". Don't forget my new favorite author, Agustinus Wibowo

Best Sequel Ever:

To be honest with you, I am a Harry Potter fan haha. Though, I enjoyed Famous Five when I was elementary schoo and Dewi Lestari's sequel
