Works of Bob Ong for me (Philippines)
His works are very funny and very tongue-in-cheek. It’s just difficult to translate the novels due to the amount of Filipino culture references and slangs that would lose its humor.
My personal faves are “Ang Paboritong Libro ni Hudas” (Judas’ Favorite Book) and "Abnkkbsnplako!” (read as “Wow! I Can Finally Read!”
“MacArthur” and “Kapitan Sino” (“Captain Who”) made me bawl my eyes out tho.
No one knows who he actually is.
“May the odds be ever in your favor.”
“Fire wants to burn, water wants to flow, air wants to rise, earth wants to bind, chaos wants to devour.”
“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others”
“We are the dead.”
