Making you laugh out loud.

I forgot to explain why i chose to name my blog " Wishing you were somewhere else". I love to read, as most people who know me are aware of. Anyway i remembered there was this quote from Mark Twain (im not sure, have to check on it) about how reading was like wishing you were somewhere else or something like that, which is how i always feel while i'm reading.

Anyway, i just finished re-reading Nick Hornby's High Fidelity. High Fidelity was the first Nick Hornby book i read, i think i was in form 3/4 that time. Reading it again, i found it even more hilarious then before. One thing i love about British comedic writers like Nick Hornby
their writing style, it somehow always makes you laugh out loud- like haha laugh out loud.

Generally, i've always liked reading works by British authors. They always had this subtle subtext thing going on. For melah, that is.

TOP 5 BOOKS I'VE JUST READ
1. Picadally Jim - P.G Wodehouse
2. The Princess Bride - William Goldman
3. The Kite Runner - Khaled Hoseini
4. Slam - Nick Hornby
5. Love in The Time Of Cholera - Gabriel Garcia Marquez

“It's no good pretending that any relationship has a future if your record collections disagree violently or if your favorite films wouldn't even speak to each other if they met at a party.” - High Fidelity
