Help me find these Books!

 from The Terrorizers (Edward Yang / Taiwan / 1986)

September 25, 2013


I've been reading a lot still, after a few months of writing about it here. A lot have changed. I have a job now so reading serves an even greater purpose of letting me escape from the banalities of life. So far, I've read twenty or so books, mostly fiction. I am currently reading two books side-by-side: Hermione Lee's Virginia Woolf for leisure reading, and Nadine Boljkovak's Untimely Affects: Gilles Deleuze and an Ethic of Cinema for a commissioned book review, which I shall have to finish in three weeks time. I'm also writing again somewhere for someone. Goodbye.


January 2, 2013:


I've been reading a lot lately. I am currently reading three books: Selected Stories by Jose Dalisay Jr., Beautiful Accidents by Ian Rosales Casocot, and Almanak ng Isang Aktibista by Roland Tolentino. I am also reading slowly and carefully two difficult texts: Deleuze's Wake: Tributes and Tributaries by Ronald Bogue and Philippine Gay Culture: Binabae to Bakla, Silahis to MSM (the U.P. Centennial edition) by J. Neil Garcia. Both of them are theory-based so it is best if one reads and re-reads each of their sections thoroughly. Nothing is worse than misinterpreting concepts, arguments, and notions. But they say that difficult works have innate multiplicities --- meaning, what you've understand now maybe different entirely from what you will understand from it in your future re-readings --- so fuck it.

Anyway, I just want to list the books I've been dying to have. If you know where I can find these books in Metro Manila, or if someone has a copy, please let me know:

A note on the list above:  

I've been nursing this list for years now. It started six years ago when I was first year college. I took two philosophy subjects side-by-side and took another one the following semester. So most of the books from the philosophy section are personal recommendations from my teachers and classmates. My Philosophy major dormmate, Marvin Tamayao, also suggested some of the books here. I got some of the other recommendations from fellow cinephiles, artists, and literary friends. If you have anything to add to this list, let me know. I've recently added the books by and about Virginia Woolf. As you know, I'm a collector of her works. So if any of you would like to donate some of her works to me, or would offer leads, please inform me as soon as possible.

Ciao!
