Q>What is the title of the book you are reading now?
A> Banyak seeh... Let see... I'm sort of reading "Catatan Seorang Demonstran" (Soe Hok Gie) and re-reading "Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince" (J.K. Rowling). Dan lagi banyak membuka "The New Book of Popular Science Volume 2". Tapi kalo yang dibaca sebelum tidur, "Menggagas Renaisans Indonesia" (Zaim Uchrowi) dan "Laporan Hasil Pemantauan Kualitas Air Waduk Saguling Triwulan III 2004" (LP Unpad). Syedaap...

A>"Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince."

I guess "Icon" (Frederick Forsyth), "Tortilla Flat" (John Steinbeck), "Burung-burung Manyar" (Y.B. Mangunwijaya), serial Anak-anak Mama Alin (bubin LantanG), "Dilarang Mencintai Bunga-bunga" (Kuntowijoyo).
