No, this is not about the anime series. For the past week I've managed to read three books. Two of them in two days. This is good, right?
The first book I read in my book binge was Alex Garland's The Coma. It's beautifully illustrated and well-written. However, it doesn't last very long - then again, what does? A good imagination makes this book even better.
The second was Mitch Albom's The Five People You Meet in Heaven. Also short (I read it in around three to four hours, including breaks) it's sentimental and nice, although there is one mistranslation of Filipino in the final chapter.
The third was Morgan Spurlock's Don't Eat This Book, which is sort of a companion piece to his film Super Size Me. He makes some salient points about the food industry, and how we are bombarded with ads ever since birth. It's all a business thing. Ironically, the first thing I did after buying this book was go to a McDonalds. Heh.
Well, until next time...
