I have degrees on literature so I had to, and enjoyed, read books from different cultures, which was a lot of fun!<BR/><BR/>Gizelle mentioned Cirilo Bautista. He was one of my professors in grad school. I did a paper on him and a report as well on his works and I'm pleased to say that he loved it :D<BR/><BR/>Reading is such a wonderful way to escape - true. At the same time, it brings me closer to those I would not have otherwise known existed.<BR/><BR/>I can't live without books and I truly miss my library in Manila. Starting to build up another here in the UK.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting <A HREF="http://pinay.me.uk/" REL="nofollow">A Pinay In England</A> and leaving your comments. Terribly sorry I've been busy decorating our new house and in the middle of packing, too. Once settled I shall be able to visit your blog more regularly. Have a great week ahead!<BR/><BR/><BR/>joy<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.yourlovecoach.co.uk/" REL="nofollow">Your Love Coach</A><BR/><A HREF="http://iwoman.me.uk/" REL="nofollow">I, Woman</A><BR/><A HREF="http://www.norwichdailyphoto.com/" REL="nofollow">Norwich Daily Photo</A>Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05075629180634929960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045178631735607602.post-71870970509354430242008-03-15T23:06:00.000+08:002008-03-15T23:06:00.000+08:00The problem with books... you need a lot of free t...The problem with books... you need a lot of free time!Sidneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02495108366627361182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045178631735607602.post-87268351454621811922008-03-15T18:04:00.000+08:002008-03-15T18:04:00.000+08:00Frankly, i didn't pay much attention to Filipino a...Frankly, i didn't pay much attention to Filipino authors in high school. American and English literature were my favorite back then...influenced by an aunt who taught English lit at that time.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, Gzel! I will certainly check out the authors you mentioned. I've heard of Cirilo Bautista and Rogelio Sicat, but I don't remember reading their works. I love F. Sionil Jose's novels!! Read 3 or 4 of his novels these past few months...galing nya!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10970334007479646177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045178631735607602.post-48112836823540444862008-03-15T09:38:00.000+08:002008-03-15T09:38:00.000+08:00Don't we get to read them in highschool too?

I remember Rogelio Sikat, Alejandro Abadilla even Jose Lacaba...to be in our books. <BR/><BR/>Pantoja_Hidalgo's Catch a Falling Star is also a hit back when it was printed...Haven't been hearing much of the literary scene these days but I assure you F.Sionil (he's really old now), Bienvenido Lumbera, Cirilo Bautista are among those you should list down. Try also some from Dimalanta, I like her poem 'A kind of burning' very much.<BR/><BR/>Cirilo Bautista, what a humble man, his biography was my Thesis...there has been no biography book about him then and I had hoped my paper would later on be the first...too bad I left hihi.<BR/><BR/>I'd admit I'm biased as I have only known and read writers who are alumni of UST's Varsitarian... =D I got small world back then lol. Now, I do not get to read much...ke pinoy or english o german... gmiragehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02277125581984131413noreply@blogger.com
