I've already lined up some books to purchase:

Best of Blogs
Authors: Peter Kuhns and Adrienne Crew

Publisher: Que Publishing, 320 pages

According to the reviewer , the book should be called "Best of American Blogs" as it features blogs from the United States. "Perhaps somebody should write the Best of Malaysian Blogs sometime in the future. I sense a need" she concludes.

Dare I take the challenge?
