went through the shelves in school library. i feel like they just got most of these for show but under the fiction section they have his dark materials books 2-3 but not the first, along with the lost world and other michael crichton books besides jurassic park. however, they do have a complete collection of children's classics which i'm planning to read. there's the count of monte cristo too.

for nonfiction i've found a couple encyclopedias, psych textbooks, filipino cookbooks, philippine postcards book, and a philippine tourism book.

"And always, up there above the crowds and hot dust and skeleton ruins and gay cabarets: the mountains, and the woman sleeping in a silence mighty with myth and mystery—for she was the ancient goddess of the land (said the people) sleeping out the thousand years of bondage; but when at last she woke, it would be a Golden Age again for the land: no more suffering; no more toil, no rich and no poor."
