How have I changed as a reader? Back in 2009 September, I did not really read much book at that time. In fact reading was on my top dislike list, but now reading became one of my habits everyday. This change started from the day I entered Mr. Macknight’s classroom once again after grade [...] Stephenie Meyer, Breaking Dawn – Twilight Saga, 756 pages “Breaking Dawn” is the fourth book of the Twilight Saga. All the characters didn’t seem to act like what they were before in any of the previous three books (which I think that this simply changed the whole theme of the twilight series), as in [...] From this project, I learned many new things; how to be organized when working together with people that usually have different opinions to you, how to create many appropriate while interesting interview questions, how to find out whom to ask and at a correct place and time, how to be confident and friendly when [...] Stephanie Meyer, Eclipse – The Twilight Saga, 629 pages To begin with, before reading the third book of the twilight saga “Eclipse”, a full understanding with the first two books is a ‘must’.

While memorizing the speech, I notice that the pace and strength of each word I read came out [...] Amitav Ghosh, The Glass Palace, 474 pages Just like some other epic novels, the book “The Glass Palace” follows the everlasting tale of a family in Burma through three generations. This is a very complicated while engaging book as it includes a bit everything happening during the time. All the civil chaos, different cultures, [...] Aldous Huxley, Brave New World, 237 pages The book “Brave New World” gives us a very clear view of the corrupted world that we might have in the future. It is a world where all the technologies we create are having negative impacts on us; it made human emotionless and thoughtless. The date of [...] Paul Kemprecos and Clive Cussler, White Death, 655 pages The main theme of the story is basically on justice versus evil, this book is also full of symbolism, with a girl and a hero being the symbol of justice and a corporation being the symbol of evil.
