Wishful Wednesday #13

wow... 13, lucky number :D

libur lebaran, waktunya mudik, tahun ini... karena gak kebagian tiket kereta api yang laris manis... akhirnya mudik naik pesawat ajah...
dan kita milih lewat Bandara Halim, karena lebih deket... dan ternyata emang lebih nyaman bandaranya...

lalu bonus menyenangkan lainnya... di ruang tunggunya ada Peri+ hehe... walaupun gak beli buku, tapi kan lumayan bwat lirik2... dan jadi nambahin satu buku wishlist ini...

Battle Royale by Koushun Takami

Koushun Takami's notorious high-octane thriller envisions a nightmare scenario: a class of junior high school students is taken to a deserted island where, as part of a ruthless authoritarian program, they are provided arms and forced to kill until only one survivor is left standing. Criticized as violent exploitation when 1st published in Japan—where it became a runaway best seller—Battle Royale is a Lord of the Flies for the 21st century, a potent allegory of what it means to be young and (barely) alive in a dog-eat-dog world.

tertarik karena covernya ala komik Jepang gitu, tadinya agak2 ngeri baca waktu baca sampul belakangnya, tapi waktu baca "Battle Royale is a Lord of the Flies for the 21st century" - I guess I should read this one... karena Lord of the Flies adalah salah satu buku yang direkomendasikan oleh Astrid, jadi sekalian juga deh pengen buku ini... :D

Lord of the Flies by William Golding

William Golding's compelling story about a group of very ordinary small boys marooned on a coral island has become a modern classic. At 1st, it seems as though it's all going to be great fun; but the fun before long becomes furious & life on the island turns into a nightmare of panic & death. As ordinary standards of behavior collapse, the whole world the boys know collapses with them—the world of cricket & homework & adventure stories—& another world is revealed beneath, primitive & terrible.
