The TRUIzM Way: On Sabbatical, wef 21 July 2008

Where The Truth Lies (! Monday, July 21, 2008. On Sabbatical, wef 21 July 2008. Regrets to inform that I, the owner and sole reviewer of The TRUIzM Way, will be decreasing my review sessions dramatically, as of immediate effect, due to a sudden entourage of required reading materials that I need to fulfill at this point in time. Having said that, however, is not to imply that TRUIzM will be closed prematurely. Rather, TRUIzM will not be updated as regularly as previous. Monday, July 21, 2008. The Matchbr...

The TRUIzM Way: Honor Lost
http://truizm.blogspot.com/2008/06/honor-lost.html
Where The Truth Lies (! Monday, June 23, 2008. To: Ms Norma Khouri. My heart ached for your unfortunate loss and for your unfortunate circumstance whilst you were in back in your home country. It is ironical that one feels threatened in her very own motherland, when it should be the basis of security and the abode of deep belonging. It disturbs me that while you criticized the religion; you have failed to go beyond these stated ‘controls’. Don’t you ask yourself, Why? I may share your anguish as a woman ...

The TRUIzM Way: You Don't Know Jack
http://truizm.blogspot.com/2008/05/you-dont-know-jack.html
Where The Truth Lies (! Friday, May 9, 2008. You Don't Know Jack. YOU DON’T KNOW JACK. Hardly into Chapter Two, I have already given up. Too much lust, and it comes from all directions. This may be the norm for my Western counteraprts but hey, I have my limitations and tolerance. A book like this, I cannot stomach. Chuck! I was embarrassed just by reading the first few chapters. The heroine was so. so. ‘cheap’! Friday, May 09, 2008. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Secrets of...

Where The Truth Lies (! Tuesday, March 4, 2008. You’ve heard me rant and rave about Chris Manby. You’ve heard me sing praises about that one particular first-book-first-love that I chanced upon. Eagerly, I added her name to my list of must-read books by chosen authors. So what did I do? I dived in straight to the next book by Ms Manby that I saw on the shelf. And oh boy, what a ride it was. Downhill, I meant. I do not know which book did Ms Manby write first – Girl Meets Ape. Or Ready or Not? Nah Maybe a...

Where The Truth Lies (! Sunday, April 13, 2008. Author: Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus. Hubs was the one who singled out this book to me while we were both browsing at a library. I took a peek at the synopsis and decided that taking care of a 4-year old would be something that I could relate to, and thus, something that I would enjoy reading. I did not know that this book has spawned a movie, starring Scarlett Johansson, in 2007. But even if I did, it makes no difference. Or really her name was Nan?

Where The Truth Lies (! Wednesday, March 19, 2008. A Thousand Splendid Suns. A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS. After a spellbinding tale in his first book, The Kite Runner, Mr Hosseni once more spins an ALMOST similarly delicious and engaging saga in A Thousand Splendid Suns. Delicious yes, but the aftertaste leaves a thousand unanswered questions. Wednesday, March 19, 2008. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Will be bared to the core, exposing the good, the bad and the ugly. I have a very strong reading stamina. R...

http://truizm.blogspot.com/2008_02_17_archive.html
Where The Truth Lies (! Saturday, February 23, 2008. Kite Runner The Movie. I may be biased when I do this review. Because I have read the book, and have cried oceans over it, and have had scenes from the book playing in my mind long after I am done reading, I have expected much more, if not on par, with the movie version. This hope is intensified by the favorable local review of the movie and the global acceptance. I am, however, disappointed. Saturday, February 23, 2008. This book is a wake-up call of ...

Where The Truth Lies (! Monday, April 21, 2008. The Soul of the Quran. THE SOUL OF THE QURAN. I first read this book way back in January 2007. And now even after re-reading it, I am still mesmerized by the splendor of the passages. A very easy read, this book contains a range of beautiful prayers from the Holy Quran. The author has brilliantly and successfully captured the essence of the Holy Book by the careful selection of the surahs. The words are lyrical, beautiful, moving and very apt. Hello . T...
