Bookhawk Pilipinas

Bookhawk Pilipinas http://bookhawk.multiply.com/ SIMPLENG PALIWANAG SA FILIPINO: Tulungan ito ng mga tambay sa Booksale, NBS Previously-Owned-Books (POB) section o Books for Less. Kung may hinahanap kayong libro, i-blog lang. Tapos abangan ang sagot sa mga susunod na araw. Maaaring ipa-reserve ng makahahanap ang libro o itatago ito sa isang sulok ng tindahan. Sa mga makahahanap, ipaalam po ang presyo. Walang lokohan at walang agawan. Yon! Sali na sa grupong Bookhawk! PAGPAPAKYUT SA INGLES: Because the Booksale site is such a pretty useless thing, and Amazon, despite its name, is not a third-world thing, we booklovers are gonna take matters into our own hands. Most especially, books! This is a sort of referral service for people finding books. Take the Bookhawk members pledge: "Bookhawks don't eat bookworms!" There, you are officially a member who follows the rules. Which are: 1. You are not gonna use this service for your own greedy ends. 2. You will not use other people's kindness or kindnesses and turn it into your own version of Amazon. 3. You will always help others. 4. You will not jump on other people's book requests. 5. You promise to regularly surf this site and post relevant stuff and sweet nothings about the book hunt and book reading experience. 6. You will inform us if romance has blossomed between you and a fellow Bookhawk in a corner of the shop around the corner. There is a reading public for this, you know. 7. You will say and practice this: "I will not lie. I will not steal. I will not exploit others. I will not do others any harm because I do not want to be harmed myself." Remember: Bookhawks don't eat bookworms. (When they emerge as butterflies is another thing, though.) Rule violators will be hated, gossiped on, prosecuted and excommunicated. HOW TO USE THIS SITE: Post your query as a comment to the blog entitled: "Please help me find this book." (Don't be bossy, motivate us well. Be wordy and worthy of your fellow Bookhawk's interest) and wait for comments. A fellow Bookhawk may give specific instructions to you on where to find the book and how much it is. He or she might hide it somewhere in the store or have it reserved at the counter, if the little green men and women operating it are friendly enough. (Be wary of any other methods, especially those involving you parting with your hard-earned cash or meeting up with a stranger. Use your head.) While you wait for comments, read other Bookhawk queries and see how you can help out.

Not that it was much help: for one thing <a href="http://rall.com">Ted Rall</a> is more popularly known as a political cartoonist a.k.a. the bane of Republicans/conservatives the world over, and not quite as an authority on rearing teenagers. Heck, despite its title it wasn't even entirely about troubled families at all (although it DID pose the fascinating proposition of abolishing Father's Day due to the proliferation of all those absentee male parents today's emo songs keep bitching about). To top it all off, the book was published WAAAY back in 1998, and therefore contained quite a few now-outdated references on how slow and unreliable the In... http://bookhawk.multiply.com/journal/item/12/On_My_All-Time_Faves_List_Ted_Ralls_Revenge_of_the_Latchkey_Kids Tue, 3 Jun 2008 11:35:16 -0000 Bookay-Ukay Ang ganda ng name, 'no? Na feature sila noong Sabado sa Bulletin, may Multiply sila kaya inivite ko sa atin. Mga grupo ito ng mga magkakaibigan mula  Philippine Normal University na bigla na lamang naglalatag ng mga libro sa mga events tulad ng UP Fair. Heheh, mga dyaskeng subersibo. (Kayo din ba yung minsang naglalatag sa labas ng UPCM sa Faura?) Minsan naglalatag sila kasi wala silang pamasahe.

Mula sa dula at screenplay na "Closer" ni Patrick Marber:  DAN: When she came here you think she enjoyed it? LARRY: I didn't ____ her to give her a 'nice time. I ____d her to ___ you up. A good fight is never clean. And yeah, she enjoyed it, she's a Catholic—she loves a guilty ___. (LARRY grins.) Ito ba ang dahilan kung bakit ang taas ng Happiness Quotient nating mga Pinoy? Eniwey, ano ang iyong early erotic lit?

Siyempre ngayon pwede ka ring ma distract ng CD, mp3/4, internet, cable TV, DVD na sine o concert. I miss the black-and-white TV days where your summer daily viewing was just Eat Bulaga. E, kung di ka ba naman magbasa na lang! That's when I discovered Ayn Rand, from my brother's short shelf created by an extended window sill. Dunno where he got the books, but I loved The Fountainhead. I was probably 3rd or 4th year high school then, in the middle of an adolescent crisis, when I found my paperback hero. Memoryado ko ang first line: "Howard Roarke laughed." At ang last line: "There was only the sky, the (building?), and the figure of Howard Roarke." Siyempre syota ko si Dominique Francon. May novelette na We the Living din ang kapatid ko. Hanggang early college sa UP hinabol ko ang mga libro ni Ayn Rand. Na-dissuade nga lang ako ni ermat na ma... http://bookhawk.multiply.com/journal/item/7/That_embarassing_favorite_book_you_dont_tell_anyone_about Sat, 12 Apr 2008 04:07:34 -0000 TONY PEREZ BINIGYANG SAYSAY ANG SITE NA ITO! ni Tim (Mar 30, 2008) Nahanapan ko si Tony Perez ng mga libro ni Paul Bowles sa Booksale: "Without Stopping: An Autobiography" at "Days: Tangier Journal: 1987-1989." Nabanggit kasi niya dati sa akin na pabortio niya si Bowles at pati na rin ang isang awtor na di ko na maalala pero Paul din. Bago nito, nabigyan ko siya ng "Collected Stories, 1939-1976" ni Bowles. Obligado akong tapatan ang pagmagandang loob niyang ibigay sa akin ang kanyang quill pen at ink bottle noong binasa ko ang sulat niya sa tribute kay Rene Villanueva. Nagpaalam akong magtagal muna sa akin ang libro para mabasa ko. Naka-apat akong kuwento, kasama ang nakababagabag na "The Delicate Prey." Binigay ko ang mga libro sa opening ng exhibit niya sa School of Design and Arts sa La Salle-Benilde. Kinabukasan, tinext niya ako: "I love the two books you gave me! I always dreamed of having them, and now I do!"

The House of Atreus was a spectacularly unlucky royal clan: bloodshed, murder, matricide, human sacrifice, hounding by The Furies, curses and eternal punishment. The cause of the family’s doom was their ancestor, Tantalus. Tantalus was a favorite of the gods, but he turned against them for no particular reason. He invited them to a banquet at his palace, where he served them a meat stew made of his son Pelops. But his immortal guests knew what the dish was made of. They restored Pelops to life—a feat, as he had been chopped up and cooked—and condemned Tantalus to an eternity of torment. He was set in a pool in the underworld, in a state of perpetual hunger and thirst. Every time he stooped to have a drink of water, the water would drain away instantly. Around th... http://bookhawk.multiply.com/journal/item/4/What_are_you_reading_5_by_Jessica_Zafra_April_07_2008 Mon, 7 Apr 2008 20:14:05 -0000 Ang greatest find ko, sa ngayon The Satanic Verses paperback edition, sa sale bin ng NBS SM City Davao. May sticker na "This item only." Singkuwenta pesos. Dalawang taon na ang nakaraan, dalawang linggo pagkatapos kong basahin ang isang hiram na hardbound edition. (Hindi ako handa nung una kong nabasa ang ilang kabanata dalawang dekada na ang nakaraan.) Wow! Isang modernong nobela. Astig si Rushdie. Paborito kong linya: "...Alelluia Ice Queen Cone." Paborito kong imahen: ang babaeng lider ng mga teroristang skyjacker, binuksan ang coat upang ipakita sa mga nagdadalawang-isip na lalaking kasama ang nakastrap na mga bomba sa hubad na http://bookhawk.multiply.com/journal/item/3/Ang_greatest_find_ko_sa_ngayon Mon, 7 Apr 2008 18:00:48 -0000 Mapalad na Mambabasa ni Rene Villanueva (Nobyembre 8, 2007) Kasabay ng pagbubukas ng klase, gusto kong pagpugayan ang mga tao at akdang humikayat sa akin upang mahilig sa pagbabasa. Pagbabasa, sa palagay ko ang isa sa susi ng pagkiling ng interes ko sa pagsusulat. Kundi ako naging mambabasa, hindirin ako marahil naging manunulat. Nang matuto akong bumuklat ng mga pahina, hindi lamang iba-ibang mundo ang binuksan nito para sa akin. hindi lamang bumukas ang pinto ng mga bagong karanasan para sa akin. Nang bumukas ang pinto, nilamon ako nito nang buong-buo. Wala akong kamalay-malay, sa simula, na nilululon na pala nito ang buong pagkatao ko, pati ang kaluluwa ko. Pero hindi ko ito pinagsisisihan. marahil, karapat-dapat sabihing ito ang bumago sa direksiyon ng buhay ko. Ito ang nagligtas sa akin, tawanan man ako ng iba at marami, sa pagiging karaniwan. Pagbabasa angnagpatuklas sa akin na mayroon pala akong kaluluwa. Pagbabasa ang unang kumumbinsi sa akin na, sa pamamagitan ng aking isip, ay makalilipad pala ako, at makararating sa kung saan-saang ... http://bookhawk.multiply.com/journal/item/2/Mapalad_na_Mambabasa_ni_Rene_Villanueva_Nobyembre_8_2007 Mon, 7 Apr 2008 07:57:20 -0000 Please help me find this book: Kurt Cobain's Journal I saw this before but I didn't get it. Price was P175. There used to be lots of copies at the top floor of National Bookstore Superbranch in Cubao. Now it's nowhere to be seen. The book contains the lyrics of Nirvana songs. Trip lang. Malaki itong libro, kasi parang kasing size ng mga notebook ng estudyante sa Tate. WIth matching speckled black cover ata. http://bookhawk.multiply.com/journal/item/1/Please_help_me_find_this_book_Kurt_Cobains_Journal Wed, 2 Apr 2008 09:26:15 -0000
