currently: maen ama keponakan. aza & hafiz gi ada di Palembang.

one of the most stupid and useless book I have ever bought:

Barry Trotter and the Shameless Parody by Michael Gerber.

jadi ceritanya bosen banget di bandara karena penerbangan pulang ke Palembang didelay, aku iseng liat-liat buku di periplus. seperti biasa klo ke toko buku, aku langsung ke bagian buku anak-anak (heran juga buku ini bisa masuk section buku anak-anak, mestinya ga lulus sensor) dan ketemulah buku ini.

Barry Trotter and the Shameless Parody adalah seri pertama dari serial Barry Trotter. Mike Gerber, penulisnya juga sudah merilis "Barry Trotter and the Unnecessary Sequel" & "Barry Trotter and the Dead Horse". Gerber merupakan penulis cerita parodi bego laen seperti "Are You There, God? It's Me, Hitler", "The Chronicles of Blarnia: The Lyin' Bitch in the Wardrobe", juga trilogy His Damage Credit yang dibuka dengan " The Golden Whupass".

eniweis, Barry Trotter and The Shameless Parody ini bercerita tentang Barry Trotter yang sudah berusia 22 tahun dan duduk di bangku kelas 11. setelah cerita hidupnya dibukukan oleh J.G. Rollins lewat "Barry Trotter and The Philosopher's Scone", Barry menjadi sangat populer dan memutuskan untuk tinggal selama mungkin di Hogwash School for Wizardry and Witchcrap. masalah datang saat tersiar kabar bahwa serial Barry Trotter akan difilmkan. film "Barry Trotter and the Inevitable Attempt to Cash-in" sudah siap syuting dan marketing department dari Wagner Bros berniat melakukan promosi besar2an. Bumblemore, kepala sekolah Hogwash, khawatir ini akan menambah angka kedatangan 'muddles' ke dunia sihir dan memporak-porandakan keberadaan mereka. terancam keluar dari sekolah (yang artinya harus cari kerja) Barry, ditemani oleh sahabat setianya Lon Measley dan Ermine Cringer harus bertindak. Lupakan Lord Valumart dan the dork side, ada kekuatan besar lagi yang harus dilawan: Hollywood.

ni buku bener2 bego. nyesel belinya. cuma udah tanggung baca, jadi kudu dikelarin. heheheh. ceritanya ngaco banget deh, yang cinta banget ama HerPot pasti tersungging. however, I found 'kata pengantarnya' amusing banget.

A Message from the Publisher of This Book:
"While the authentic series may or may not be Satanic, this book definitely is. It is poorly written, incredibly crass, and contains jokes about bodily functions that would embarrass a five-year-old. It has been produced as cheaply as possible. using highly toxic ink and substandard paper. Every corner has been cut, from eliminating every 500th word, to employing copy-editors fluent only in Spanish. This book exists soley to make a quick buck."

A Message from Satan:
"Oh, no, you're not pinning this one on me! This book totally sucks."

A Message from the Universal Council of Churches:
"Any book so clearly loathed bu Satan, the embodiment of all evil, logically must be the purest good. Otherwise, why would Satan hate it so? Therefore, I urge all right-thinking Christians, as well as people of goodwill from every other faith to read this parody."
