Pidi Baiq – Dilan (Dia Adalah Pilihanku) 1990
ISBN: 978-602-7870-41-3
Harga: - (pinjam teman)
Total Halaman: 330 pages
Genre: Fiksi (Novel Remaja)
Tahun Terbit: 2014


Dapat buku ini hasil rekomendasi dari teman baik. Waktu saya liburan ke Bali dan menginap di kamar kosnya, dia kasih saya pinjam buku ini. Kata dia "coba baca buku ini deh, bagus, lucu ceritanya". Saya belum pernah melihat buku ini sebelumnya, tapi saya tahu sekilas tentang pengarangnya. Pidi Baiq memang dikenal sebagai pribadi yang humoris. Celotehan-celotehannya di media sosial banyak menuai tawa dan tak sedikit banyak orang men-share kembali tulisannya di media sosial sambil tak lupa memanggilnya 'surayah' ^^. Bahkan sampai dibuatkan bukunya tentang tweet-tweets Pidi Baiq. Pidi Baiq juga ternyata adalah seorang musisi yang sampai sekarang masih aktif di band-nya 'The Panasdalam'. Hampir semua orang tahu siapa The Panasdalam dan siapa Pidi Baiq. Tapi inilah pertama kalinya saya membaca novel yang ditulisnya sendiri. Tak banyak berharap. Saya hanya ingin tertawa ketika membaca isi novel ini. Dan ternyata benar, tertawalah saya.

 Have you read Haruki Murakami’s book? What’s your favorite? What? You found it strange? The story? Haha well, you have read one of his book and you found it strange then I welcome you to the surreal world of Haruki Murakami. ^^

Having been read most of his books and his short stories, now I find it hard to judge his writings. Because it’s in surreal genre, and I think there’s no rules in this path. Anything could happen in the surreal story even the strangest one. Just like what Haruki Murakami has said, who am I to judge?
