Few months back, a kind soul lent me two story books by Anchee Min. This person was raving about how entertaining the book is and influenced me to give it a read as well.

Empress Orchid is one heck of an entertaining book. It tells us the story about a poor village girl who had no choice but to enter the palace in the hopes of becoming the next top model concubine. Every intricate detail is oozed in this book bringing the book into life before you even realise it! Well, for me at least. :)
Unfortunately, The Last Empress was a let down for me. It gets too dry most of the time so I wouldn't recommend this book. Maybe it was my problem, I don't know. Maybe I just didn't have the mood to read it but I still finished the book.

I'm currently reading this quite obsolete book titled Tuesdays With Morrie. I've been hearing so much about it, yet I never really took the time to read it until now. Yeah okay, I know I am slow! The cover of the book looks so boring, which is probably why I kept putting this book on hold until now. However, I have to admit that it's a very entertaining book. I guess this is what the saying of 'do not judge a book by its cover' literally means. Hehe!

I haven't finished reading it yet because I'm taking my own sweet time to read it.
So is there any kind soul out there who would wanna lend me any book which you think is worth reading? :)
