I had a false start with it myself. Made me more intrigued than irked by it. So far.Risehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17446964640160585194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769714277850142841.post-79283283196708516002015-06-16T09:18:35.827+08:002015-06-16T09:18:35.827+08:00This is great.

But the other novels of the same author were not. I'm very intrigued with Playing With Water. The island life from the perspective of an "outsider".Risehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17446964640160585194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769714277850142841.post-26769512033754918112015-06-10T07:12:31.177+08:002015-06-10T07:12:31.177+08:00Rise - Finally catching up on a lot of blog posts ...Rise - Finally catching up on a lot of blog posts I've missed the last couple of weeks. It's great to have this list, with authors about whom I know absolutely nothing (other than a couple names I recognize from your earlier posts). A shame that those first two are out of print - the first is at least in my library here, but the second is not. I like that you include non-Filipino writers seraillonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17654593356535433945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769714277850142841.post-80555624662588727662015-06-02T20:18:27.279+08:002015-06-02T20:18:27.279+08:00well, yes. finding them outside the country is a t...well, yes. finding them outside the country is a task. digitally or in print, most on the list are not readily accessible.Risehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17446964640160585194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769714277850142841.post-48597756536440051712015-06-02T18:55:04.195+08:002015-06-02T18:55:04.195+08:00A complete list of books that I had no knowledge o...A complete list of books that I had no knowledge of, interesting although discouraged by the comment in the post below, concerning the ability to locate them.@parridhlanternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12793548943992250238noreply@blogger.com
