Recommended book list for next ISG novel reading
Recommended book list for next ISG novel reading
Re: Recommended book list for next ISG novel reading
My recommendation is to remove below five books from our candidate list for various reasons.
Taking Woodstock: too expensive (NT$504)
The Time Traveler's Wife: too thick (640 pages)
The Secret: I've read its Chinese version
Law of Attraction: I've read its Chinese version
Julie & Julia: Average customer review at Amazon is only 2.5 star, given 5 star as the best rank.
Among the rest books I prefer the four books:
1. Dewey
- NT$221 (good)
- 221 pages (good)
- Average customer review at Amazon is 4.5 star (good)
2. P.S. I love you
- NT$194 (good)
- 496 pages (slightly long)
- Average customer review at Amazon: 3.5 star (so so)
3. Slumdog Millionaire
- NT$221 (good)
- 400 pages (good)
- 4 star (good)
4. Twilight
- NT$327 @ 博客來 (so so)
- 4 star (good)
-----------------------
Here I add another one:
5. Confession of a Shopaholic
- NT$221 (good)
- 384 pages (good)
- 4.5 star (good)

Re: Recommended book list for next ISG novel reading
Dear all,
Life is always tough, I'd like to read something soft and warm to lift the gloom, so I prefer Dewey.

I guess "Slumdog Millionaire" and "The Road" are also not bad... : )

Dear Kat,
Thanks for your willingness to join.
The thing is this thread was posted one and half years ago and has been out-of-date. We had been done with the novel quite a while ago...
