i have seen gaimans books at payless books in fact i bought neverwhere and american gods there .. so if you are in luck maybe you can find there .. or if you are an ebook reader i can pass it to you that way ..
the latter ludlum books a bit disappointing as most of it not written by him .. do check out the sequel to odd thomas too called forever odd its quite good too now tak sabar nak tunggu the third book brother odd .
well hope you enjoy those books

semuanya odd eh ;) --
thanks appropos -- thats so nice of you
with the recommendation --
u see i am not an ebook reader
pernah sekali baca buku kat puter and i dislike it --
ada payless kat ampang point - tapi saya
rather rent ( saya ni jimat sikit sebab terlalu
banyak buku yang saya suka nak baca -- so
mostly saya rent - so cost membaca about rm5
- masa kat oversea memang pinjam kat library
weekly -- free and easier too -)
cuma will buy books yang memang saya nak simpan --
true that latter ludlum a bit diffo -- i love reading just
cuz style slightly the same -- --
tak sabar nak tunggu cross by james patterson ni --
finally alex found out who murdered his wife ---
mesti best punya buku ni - tajuk pun cross eh --
ada baca john sandford?
what do u think of rules of prey? |

btw appropos -
if u wanna try ringan ringan sikit --
baca cave of steel -- cuz it is fun book
quite a great humor in it too ---
walaupun ianya sort of penyiasatan --
with a touch of science fiction eh --
r daneel tu kira cam sherlock holmes la tu ;) --
happy reading - |

foundation --
thanks for this awesome thread -
maaf saya tak tahu dulu --
and glad to have known an avid sci fi reader
and appreciate asimov this way --
whoaa sampai nic pun foundation eh --
teringat lagi long ago baca foundation -
baca 2 kali sebab masa mula2 baca tu masa
early teenager tak faham sebab
my english was hampeh -- tapi bila dah fluent and
understand more and enjoying the sci fi --
it was a great way to improve english and as well
enjoying the imagination --
suka star trek tak??
sampai sekarang bila rerun star trek
saya mesti keep watching it -- cuz
it was one of the best series i feel --
btw saya rasa movie I, Robot tu
disappointed sikit la - but then of course
tak sama langsung dengan buku dia---
tapi just....i dunno i think the book is
more appreciated though -- |

setuju I Robot movie disappointing tapi Bicentennial Man - Robin William not bad....generally I agree with u. most books when adapted to movies, tak best.
for some reasons (don't know why), I don't follow many other sci fi's authors. star trek pun tak minat sangat. i do read arthur c clarke but found the impact is not the same as asimov's |

Tak pernah baca Clive Barker - any recommended book for 1st timer?
Ender's Game - I'll look for it it nanti. Sekarang dalam proses nak pindah rumah so malas nak cari buku.
Current reading; fiction is Eldest (2nd book of Eragon Trilogy). Baru habis Barthimeus Trilogy (a genie with an attitude - interesting).
Other authors I read; Ludlum, Clavell, Grisham, S. King, Heinlein, Lee Child (just started), Forsyth, Archer etc..... |

eldest best jugak esp depiction of the elf's homes n eragon's training.
sepupu dia, memang jumpa tapi ada another character yang dia jumpa yang lagi best....towards the end
have not watched eragon the movie....tengok trailer cam tak best je. I love LOTR though.
thanks for the clavell's link...i love his works. My favourite is Taipan - read > 5 times. At one stage, I read it once every year for 3 consecutive years. |

for detective stories with a twist - try Asimov's Mysteries. I think he wrote the short stories in there due to show the flexibility of the sci-fi genre and if you love sci-fi and mysteries, the stories are wonderful. |

agreed and as well
tak meleret - saya suka short stories mysteries
macam tu -- fun and full of surprises too -
subtlely humor some of them -
banyak belajar dari foundation ni macamana nak
appreciate sci - fi
dulu masa kecik kecik - sci-fi --- star trek - mr spock and bones
tu je yang saya suka -- then datang star wars --
then kaboom......rupanya banyak lagi out there -
sekarang pun masih belajar lagi
dari foundation and appropos ni - |

tak leh belajar dari saya sebab saya baca asimov je mainly sci-fi ni (i.e. space aged sci-fi).
an interesting concept is the book titled 'gold' - asimov wrote a story abt adapting one of his books into sort of film.... menarik. |
