Anyway, i spent 2 hours reading about awatara Vishnu again today. And, it was quite different to what i've read before. What i read was about Vishnu's awataras that were not really known by commoners. Such as, Vishnu as Fish, Vishnu as Turtle an so on. But i don't say that the stories were not interesting. I always love stories of Hindu's Gods. :)
Ow, ow, guess what!
Tomorrow's gonna be a really exciting day. The Result of Entrance Exam known as UMB is gonna be announced tomorrow! My fellas and buddies had worked hard and whatever they will get tomorrow, i hope they'll deserve it.
Ya Allah, please give them the best. You know what's best for everyone.
Today, i'd like to tell you guys about the novels i like the most. On the first place, no need to ask because everyone that loves fantasy novel in my age will have the same choice as me, it's the Harry Potter by JK Rowling. These books had brought the magic stuffs came to live. She (JK Rowling) made it looked like real world of magic is exist, but we just can't see it. Cool. I was hypnotized when i read those books. But i think the spell now has been a bit sallow. I'm no more too addicted to it.
After the 7th book of Harry Potter was released, i was so upset. That time, i thought i would never have any book to be waited for. That was why i turned into a comic addict. I forgot novels, never tried to buy another fiction or fantasy novel again after the Harry Potter era ended until I was on my 1st grade of Senior High School. I borrowed the first book of The Bartimaeus Trilogy from my room-mate at the boarding house. And, voila! I love it. The story was about a kid-wizard, named Nathaniel who called Bartimaeus the Djinn from the other side. Nathaniel was a student of Mr Underwood, his master who raised him and be his mentor. Nathaniel was actually had a great ability, but his master never realized it, and always ask him to do simple stuffs. He didn't realize that Nathaniel was capable to call creatures from the other side. One day, a man named Simon Lovelace pissed Nathaniel off and, Nathaniel promised himself that he will kill that man. And, well, that's why he called Bartimaeus. Ow, i really love this first book. I forgot to tell you, the title is Amulet of Samarkand. :D sorry.
The second book titled The Golem's Eye. The story was about a young teen Nat (who had changed his name into John Mandrake) occupied assistant of Ms Whitwell in the Ministries of Magic was trying to figured out the problem about a great creature that destroyed whole London. He asked Bartimaeus to help him solve the case. In this 2nd book, Nat will meet Kitty Jones, the non-wizard girl who will be the important character of book 3rd.
Book 3rd titled Ptolemy's Gate. Who was Ptolemy? Well, in book 1 and 2, we will know about him. He was Bartimaeus's Master in Alexandria so long ago. He was Barty's fave. Barty loved to use Ptolemy's form to appear. Ptolemy was the greatest Master, he never asked Bartimaeus, or that time his name was Rekhyt, to do something that can risk others' life. One day, when He and Barty and other djinns was walking around a market, His brother who had the same name as him, attacked him because he was afraid to him. He was afraid if Ptolemy will take his throne. So, they ran away and stopped at a temple. Ptolemy was badly injured, Barty really wanted to get him away from enemies and cured his injuries. But when the army came to the temple, Ptolemy released Bartimaeus and brought him back to the other side. Bartimaeus never found the master that would risk his own life for a creature that usually be a sacrifice and slave like him, the djinn. I almost cry when read this 3rd book. I really didn't expect the ending. Really. You have to read it, so that you'll understand.
Oh, i also love the way Bartimaeus talk. :) Just read, and you'll understand what i mean.
My other recommendation is Skulduggery Pleasant...
I had read the 1st book, and when i was searching for other books of it in the internet, i can't find the other series sold in Indonesia. I was so upset. I am so upset. This one is marvelous. I really love it. The story was about a 12 years old girl named Stephanie who was dreaming for her life to be more unusual, and she got it. One day, a man attacked her at her uncle's house and a skeleton came to help her. Since then, She and that skeleton, Skulduggery, caught in some problems that could caused death. Stephanie was really excited with that. These two was arguing a lot, and that's the perfect reason for me to love this book. Their arguments were funny. :D
Ah, well, those are the books. I will post another recommendations later. :) Fantasy rules!!!!
