If a book managed to get the metal dudes to read i think it should be included in the list.And the novel was good too. Such a sad story.<br /><br />P/S: Where can i buy Salleh Ben Joned's books and Usman Awang Puisi-Puisi Pilihan?<br /><br />Penanak NasikAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403017110948354453.post-7171801820677656202008-06-01T21:10:00.000+08:002008-06-01T21:10:00.000+08:00Uggu Karmila - Ramlee Awang Murshidbuku nih membua...Uggu Karmila - Ramlee Awang Murshid<BR/>buku nih membuatkan aku terbayang filem2 hollywood yg hebat2 :DhaNnaNcayuNKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15395586305352843706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403017110948354453.post-12934937287241164512008-05-27T17:51:00.000+08:002008-05-27T17:51:00.000+08:00combat 1511 and 1526 - faisal tehranicombat 1511 and 1526 - faisal tehraniartisticklytouchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09771926907907998942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403017110948354453.post-81935986062252824112008-05-27T10:37:00.000+08:002008-05-27T10:37:00.000+08:00Opss.

This is one of the book that started the debate on 'historical reevaluation', and influence Usman on JEBAT the drama and even politicians rephrasing the term 'derhaka'.
