“Yah, mereka berenang ke sebuah lubang berisi banyak pisang di dalamnya. Mereka seperti ikan biasa ketika masuk ke lubang itu. Tapi sekali mereka masuk ke dalamnya, mereka berkelakuan seperti babi. Ah, aku tahu beberapa bananafish berenang ke sebuah lubang pisang dan makan sebanyak tujuh puluh delapan pisang. Mereka jadi sangat gemuk hingga tak bisa keluar dari lubang itu lagi. Tak bisa muat melalui pintunya.”

“Saya sangat tersanjung jika Anda menulis sebuah kisah secara khusus untuk saya suatu hari nanti. Saya gemar membaca.”
Aku katakan aku tentu akan melakukannya, jika aku bisa. Aku mengaku tak terlalu produktif dalam menulis.
“Saya lebih suka kisah tentang kesengsaraan.”
“Tentang apa?”
“Kesengsaraan. Saya sangat tertarik dengan kesengsaraan.”

Penerbit: GagasMedia
Tebal: 540
Format: Paperback
Terbit: Agustus, 2014
Harga: Rp 60,000 (BukaBuku)
Rating: 3½ / 5 stars

Date started: 9 Februari, 2015 - Date finished: 13 Februari, 2015

Sinopsis:
SAAT MEMUTUSKAN BUAT JATUH CINTA,

LO JUGA MEMBUKA KEMUNGKINAN
CINTA KELAK AKAN BERBALIK NYAKITIN LO...
Dear pembaca,

Rasanya seperti baru kemarin menyelesaikan draf pertama novel ini dan menyerahkannya ke redaksi. Dan kali ini, akhirnya aku mau berterus terang: Jethro Liem dan Tere diciptakan dengan asumsi bahwa mereka akan dibenci pembaca. Keduanya adalah karakter yang tak sempurna dan masing-masing punya alasan untuk tak saling jatuh cinta.
Fakta lainnya adalah: Good Fight ditulis di bawah pengaruh kuat pikiran sinisku saat itu: kalau benar cinta nggak pernah salah, kenapa justru susah sekali bertemu pasangan yang cocok lahir-batin? Dan kenapa yang sering terjadi justru kita harus berurusan dengan mantan ‘beracun’, hubungan tanpa masa depan, dan pengkhianatan yang berujung pada malam-malam penuh air mata?
Jadi bagaimana, setelah semua penjelasan tadi, apakah kamu masih mau menuruti rasa penasaranmu untuk mulai membaca novel ini? Kalau pertanyaan tadi kamu jawab dengan anggukan, aku benar-benar bersyukur sekali bisa mempersembahkan cerita ini untukmu. Selamat membaca dan, seperti biasa...

selamat jatuh cinta.
CHRISTIAN SIMAMORA

I apologize for not posting my January book haul in the end of January. I just had a lot going on between college assignments and also I'm currently applying for an exchange program you guys! Wish me luck! So, for the month of January I accumulated quite a lot of books but you can't really see all of them because most of them are in my mom and dad's house. I didn't really spend a lot of money to buy books because most of the books in this haul were given from fellow BBI-ers!! Thanks guys!! *kiss kiss from Italy, Roma*

So I'm going to be dividing this book haul into two parts, books I bought and books given to me.
Well let's see the books that I got!!

#1 New York Times bestselling author of Hopeless joins forces with the New York Times bestselling author of Mud Vein. Together, they have created a gripping, romantic tale unlike any other.
"How odd to be made of flesh, balanced on bone, and filled with a soul you've never met."
Charlize Wynwood and Silas Nash have been best friends since they could walk. They've been in love since the age of fourteen.
But as of this morning...they are complete strangers.
Their first kiss, their first fight, the moment they fell in love...every memory has vanished.
"I don't care what our real first kiss was," he says. "That's the one I want to remember."
Charlize and Silas must work together to uncover the truth about what happened to them and why. But the more they learn about the couple they used to be...the more they question why they were ever together to begin with.
"I want to remember what it feels like to love someone like that. And not just anyone. I want to know what it feels like to love Charlie."
