Reading: Manusia Setengah Salmon

 CURRENTLY reading

 Manusia Setengah Salmon by Raditya Dika

this is my first read in 2012! 

i want to start this year by reading something refreshing and fun. so i chose this one! :)

i got the book after Christmas, with the author's autograph on the first page, since i bought it from kutukutubuku.com ;) i've been anticipating Raditya Dika's new book, because i've been a fan. his book never fails to make me laugh stupidly in front of a book. i hope this one will entertain me as well as all his previous books. as for the title this time: i'm very impressed. i love it! ;)

here's the blurb on the back of the book:

Nyokap memandangi penjuru kamar gue. Dia diam sebentar, tersenyum, lalu bertanya, ‘Kamu takut ya? Makanya belom tidur?’
‘Enggak, kenapa harus takut?’
‘Ya, siapa tahu rumah baru ini ada hantunya, hiiiiii...,’ kata Nyokap, mencoba menakut-nakuti.
‘Enggak takut, Ma,’ jawab gue.
‘Kikkikikiki.’ Nyokap mencoba menirukan suara kuntilanak, yang malah terdengar seperti ABG kebanyakan ngisep lem sewaktu hendak photobox. ‘Kikikikikiki.’
‘Aku enggak ta—’
‘KIKIKIKIKIKIKIKI!’ Nyokap makin menjadi.
‘Ma,’ kata gue, ‘kata orang, kalo kita malem-malem niruin ketawa kuntilanak, dia bisa dateng lho.’
‘JANGAN NGOMONG GITU, DIKA!’ Nyokap sewot. ‘Kamu durhaka ya nakut-nakutin orang tua kayak gitu! Awas, ya, kamu, Dika!’
‘Lah, tadi yang nakut-nakutin siapa, yang ketakutan siapa.’
