Because Fun Is Fun!

Hi, I'm just hanging around with Gossip Girl with my campus-wear shirt still on right now. Cursed a lot because jerks were getting so damn evil in this 4th season and of course adored the characters a lot because they were so deadly charming! including Rufus and Lily. I hate to admit that Gossip Girl is quite addictive, although actually its story is so dramatic that sometimes I think I wanna come in to the Upper East Side and announce that every one in there needs a therapy and after that I'd go back to my bed and rest my emotions down. Ah.. but I'm now so addicted, what can I do? Oh, and before I continue watching the 4th season of Gossip Girl, I got something to tell: today, I finally got my own Hunger Games book :D

And it's in English hahaha how lovely!

Can you read the text? I guess not. Okay.

Actually I didn't expect to buy the English version. I mean, the translated one was okay because I knew the English one would be very expensive.

So, I went to Gramedia bookstore this afternoon and with a little effort of searching, I found this trilogy. Surprise! All of the books were in English and all cost: Rp. 75.000. Goodness, I could pay for that. In fact, I couldn't find the translated ones in the store..  or maybe it was only me not being observant enough, Idk :)

To be honest, I was planning to buy Catching Fire, not the Hunger Games but since I was buying the English version, I do need to read from the beginning. Seems like the weekend is going to be so fun! :D

Philip Pullman


Aku baru selesai baca The Amber Spyglass tanggal 11 kemaren, review aku post nanti. Udah selesai sih nulisnya.. He :D Tapi nanti saja ya... :)

Setelah dibaca, ternyata si Philip Pullman ini terinspirasi oleh buku Paradise Lost nya John Milton loh.. Pernah denger tentang Paradise Lost?? Ya, aku pernah. Waktu semester 2, mata kuliah literature, aku pernah research tentang Augustan Age dan Renaissance yang di dalamnya ada tentang John Milton dan Paradise Lost nya. Aku sampe pinjem buku yang super tebal yang isinya ada cuplikan - cuplikan karya sastra Inggris pada sekitar abad 16-18. Tapi sayang presentasinya gak tamat gara - gara beberapa kesalahan dan John Milton gak sempat kesebut :(

Ya, yang lalu biarlah berlalu :)

Love,
