Thanks to Ipanema for this tag. I love books! I can't live without them. And yes, I have a stash of unread books that would probably take me more than 3 lifetimes to finish. *LOL*
For the next book tag, I'm sending these to fellow book lovers Jules, May, Duke, Nikki, and Anicee.

Kill as few patients as possible?
Scary title from a patient's point of view!
musta na ikaw? long time no hear!
wow, what a list! i envy you with the book list you have here every week. how i wish i find time to read more of those.
Read the book, Sachiko. It's a load of laughs. 'Doing fine in spite of work.
Thanks again, Ipanema. Sometimes it's also about passion. When time is scarce (it always is, btw!), passion compensates. ;)
I've been meaning to buy " A Short History of Nearly Everything".
Thanks for the tag! 'will do mine :D
Kite runner: great read!
one book ive been meaning to read: Teacher Man (by McCourt, di ko pa mabili bili kase ang mahal pa, if you have one, pwede pahiram? hehehe)
hope everythings great with you Doc E. (regards to soulmate)
thanks for the tag...i just posted mine, medyo late because you know, work gets in the way of blogging :)
so far no spam ha...
DUKE: Buy the book and read it now. Medyo mahaba sya pero maaliw ka naman. Mas less serious ang approach nya kesa kay Stephen Hawking.
BONGK: Yes, sir. Hanapin ko yang Teacher Man mo dito sa stash ko.
MAY: Salamat din. Yes, so far, so good. Di pa nakakahalata mga spambots, so far. Sana nga tuloy-tuloy na ito
I'm impressed at the fantastic (and well-rounded) choices you have dr. emer. Sana more doctors are wide-readers like you. Yung batchmate ko nun doesn't read fiction; instead, she reads medbooks only.
i love WS Maugham especially his collected short stories (get it!!! especially vol 1 or 4).. i'll try getting his Sixpence book.. anything he dishes out are a terrific insight into the human psyche.
(p.s. how does a tag go? mejo nahihirapan ko sa mga ganito hehehe... )
Thanks for the Maugham tip. I'll to get those pag may time. Kaya mo itong book tag. Just copy the categories and fill in your choices. Ikaw na lang yata sa mga na-tag ko ang hindi nakakagawa.
Kudos nga pala for a job well done!
dr emer, sa wakas na booktag ko na rin! harharhar also, i'm going into res baka IM hopefully within the area lang. :)
