wild meat

i've just finished reading (actually i finished it 3 days ago but i'm only writing about it today) the book wild meat and bully burgers which was bought by syikin, and later on borrowed by me, and all in all, i could say that it is an interesting book!

it is a story about a young japanese-american girl living in hawaii who're always being jeered by her schoolmates and tried so hard to fit in the so called standard model of success.

the story is very funny but yet, sad, especially when you imagined how poor her family is when they have to settle for home-made and second best, even a friend act like he had nothing to do with her just to be accepted.

and currently, i'm reading sleepers, which is written by lorenzo carcaterra. there was a movie with the same title made based on this book but i haven't seen it yet.

speaking about movies based on books, i've found the dvd version of prozac nation, the movie that i've long searched just because the book, also with the same title and written by elizabeth wurtzel, was really awesome! but i just didn't have enough money at that time and so i just walk away with the hope that it wouldn't run out of stock in just a few days. i'm also searching for the first book written by the same authur, which is entitled 'bitch', as it's the only title by the authur that i haven't read. she only had 3 books out which is 'bitch', 'prozac nation' and 'more, now and again'. prozac nation and more, now and again was a memoir of her handling her depression and drug addiction while bitch was said to touch on feminism and such.

oh, and i felt sorry for the cancelled gig at seremban due to the black metal thing, which is really suck!

p/s: the picture i've posted above wasn't really the cover of the book i'm reading. maybe the cover version is different for different countries, or maybe it's the different pressing. tapi papehal pun, gua pun nak main letak-letak gambar macam lokman buat. muahahaha!
