Wow Tin what a great list...parang I want to read these books too.
I really love The God of Small Things. It was quite painful to read but afterwards I couldn't stop thinking about it.
Cruddy was very good too. I was originally attracted by the cover but when I read it I really liked the starkness of it. It just felt....sharp.

Galing, Mai, no? I read The God... when I was in Silliman and we had to share the only copy among the class. After reading it, I wanted to kill myself. Hehe :)
Yeah and Cruddy was a great read too. Again, I wanted to kill myself because of what children/adolescents had to go through. And we know it's real.
But nah, I'm not really suicidal :)
