7. For those who want to fall in love with life: Bagay Tayo

People who have read Jerry B. Gracio’s Bagay Tayo say that the book goes beyond the usual love story. Different forms of writing were used to tell the narrative—prose, poetry, sometimes even using informal terms. The author takes storytelling into a whole new level, too, as the book does not follow the usual beginning-middle-end format. Gracio was also able to express the realities of love and life beautifully in Filipino. If you’re a fan of quotable quotes, you’ll find a treasure chest full of that and more in this book and its supplement, Hindi Bagay.
