My review here--http://booktripper.blogspot.com/2010/06/ilustrado.html<br /><br />Most of the books I recommend above represent less popular and easily snubbed books(except FH Batacan's I think) published locally, but quality reads just the same.Narjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003969690622069195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550526479459285088.post-42880133796392642702011-12-03T10:19:54.367+08:002011-12-03T10:19:54.367+08:00Better add Ilustrado by Miguel Syjuco.

For an internationally multi awarded book by a Filipino Author it seems to few Filipino reader had included this book on their list to read. <br />FYI info: Man Asia and Palanca 2008 winner, Hugh MacLennan Prize: Winner 2010.Jaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04028455886467168528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550526479459285088.post-84912231518004176862011-09-04T19:49:17.267+08:002011-09-04T19:49:17.267+08:00@jers: Madami pang libro si Arnold bukod pa sa Myt...@jers: Madami pang libro si Arnold bukod pa sa Mythology Class at After Eden. There's Ang Mundo ni Andong Agimat, Trip to Tagaytay (sci-fi), Martial Law Babies, and his current project Private Iris. <br /><br />@fantaghiro: I like Dr Tan's retelling of his own experience with "pasma" that led to his academic inquiry of its scientific and histo-cultural nature. It's very interesting and it was fun reading it. <br /><br />@chachic: After Eden was one of the first batch of graphic novels available in the Filipiniana section of our school's main lib and reading it was memorable. I remember I was the first to borrow it but that was eons ago..Narjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003969690622069195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550526479459285088.post-21582581124066355232011-09-04T14:32:45.715+08:002011-09-04T14:32:45.715+08:00A friend gave me a copy of After Eden for my birth...A friend gave me a copy of After Eden for my birthday a few years ago and I really enjoyed reading it. That was before the blog though so I never got to feature it. Maybe I should do a I reread so I can review it.Chachichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10216391673830772231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550526479459285088.post-88314881410536032292011-09-03T21:43:38.537+08:002011-09-03T21:43:38.537+08:00Hey, narj, we just published Revisiting Usog, Pasm...Hey, narj, we just published Revisiting Usog, Pasma, Kulam as an ebook.:) It's now available on Amazon. <br />http://www.amazon.com/Revisiting-Usog-Pasma-Kulam-ebook/dp/B005K201GG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1315057284&sr=8-2<br /><br />Was able to browse through it, though not read it entirely. I agree, it does have interesting anecdotes and I kinda became interested in his brand of medical anthropology. Hope to read the whole book soon.:)fantaghiro23https://www.blogger.com/profile/16834003796589218555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550526479459285088.post-17310801538364264802011-09-03T18:20:26.467+08:002011-09-03T18:20:26.467+08:00I had a great time with After Eden.

There are funny anecdotes and historical discoveries to enjoy here.
