Kaye's Book Recommendations
Whenever people find out that I like reading I inevitably get asked for book recommendations, so for easy reference I decided to make a list divided into genres / categories. The original list is saved in my phone's Notes app, but it occurred to me that I'd also like to share it here.
I tweaked the list to exclude some of the more tedious titles (maybe I'll share them next time), since ultimately my goal when recommending a book is for the other person to develop a love for reading.
A lot of these books already have movie adaptations, but if you haven't watched the movies yet then please consider reading the books first :>

Thank God for tumblr mutuals na mulat, may pakialam, may ipinaglalaban, at may paninindigan. Ika nga ng tagline ng college org ko tuwing Campus Debate, "Makinig, tumugon, makialam."
I know how hard and exhausting it is to take a stand. Sobrang circus na ng pulitika dito sa bansa at sa sobrang daming information at misinformation na umiikot, it doesn't help na parang allergic pa sa facts yung mga ka-debate mo. Or ina-acknowledge yung facts pero di nauunawaan yung bigat na kaakibat dito. Kaya sobrang I feel moved whenever I see people here taking the time and effort to educate people about political issues. Sobrang proud ako sa inyo sana pwede ko kayo yakapin isa-isa nang mahigpit!

"I went away in my head, into a book. That was where I went whenever real life was too hard or too inflexible."
