Starting from Jane and Peter, Peter and Jane book. wtf. lol

Most of the other books were introduced by school mates and during litreature classes in high school.

The book which I'm currently reading would still be Angels & Demons. lol. The last time you'd see me reading would be like six months back. No time to read but plenty time to go out lepak. wtf.

Why no Twilight series there btw? That'll add 4 more to the number of books I'd read.
