As starters, these three books contains all the elements - classics, trendy, english, american, fiction. In general I'm satisfied and really into the mood of reading when the engine starts. Currently, I'm in 李嘉誠全傳.
A quick review on the finished ones:
1. Little Women
A classic English story in beautiful English. I used to read classics like Animal Farm and Charles Dickens and Little Women did not disappoint me. The story is about the three girls from their little childhood to their married lives. Having different backgrounds in the same family, Amy, Meg and Jo had different ways of life. One thing that they shared was Love, any kind of love that keep them bonded (mentally since Meg was died in the halfway through).
An easy story to follow as a classics. And I even put a comment on amazon. Never thought I would have done that~~
2. Flirtexting

2. Flirtexting
Strictly speaking, it cannot be categorised as a book. Rather it can be read as a guide or a collection of blog entries telling people on how to socialise with opposite sex (mainly female to male). Personally I believe the "tactics" are not just applicable on mobile texting but all kinds of text-based communication such as email, msn... And in short, what is emphasised is "think before you text and text it at the right time".
p.s. culturally different, I don't really agree that text after 11pm should be regarded as sex-oriented.
3. The American Book of the Dead
A very addictive story with special layout. On one hand, the author describes his personal life while on the other hand, he writes about an imaginary story about the end of America. Surprisingly, they show a perfect mix that is easy to follow. It basically tells about a belief to kill most of the population to purify the complex world. The author was accidentally known to be a fortune-teller who intends to save the world from being destroyed. The story ends with a thought that every change or evolution takes time and we are simply taking part unconsciously. What we can do to survive is not to kill the different others but to civilise to change the world.
This is the first novel I read in English and it truly is a good start.
