What to read?

I have nothing to read. Now, if you saw my library, you’d probably give me a hard rap on my head. Let me rephrase that. I have far too many books to read. I can’t decide what to read! Argh!
I need something to capture my imagination again. Something fantastic and fun … right now [...]

Getting lost in the library

Was back at the apartment yesterday and decided to pick a book from my library to read. My little library is a wonder. It’s filled to the brim with books – nearly 1,000 of them, and 60% of them I’ve not read!
Unfortunately, I couldn’t decide what book to read. Almost all the books there are [...]

Where art thou?

The problem with having a lot of books is that sometimes I can’t find them! Just a while back, I was hunting high and low for a particular book I suddenly had the intense desire to read. I couldn’t find it even after numerous searches as was about to buy another copy when I saw [...]

Can’t stop reading

Michael from Eyeris may have started a trend of sorts! I’m picking up the post started by Michael and continued by Grace Shu: Where/when do I read?

1. Oriental mythology
2. Titans and Olympians
3. Introduction to the Romans
4. The Outremer saga, Books 1 to [...]

Dazed at the Times warehouse sale

One word. Fantastic!
I didn’t want to go, honestly. I have no $. Yes, I have a credit card, but this lady is really seriously in debt. But when Daphne (who also reported about it) told me how good it was I just had to go. I’d never forgive myself if I missed out good [...]

Bookaholic

I’m perhaps, one of the few Malaysians whose parents would beg once in a while to “stop buying books.”
If there’s one weakness I have, especially when it concerns my wallet, is my inability to turn away from a good book. Bookstores like Kinokuniya and Pay Less are “traps” for me. I so often find good [...]

Look what I’ve got!

Bought these two beauties at Popular Bookstore at Summit, USJ Subang Jaya (Selangor). They’re only below RM20 each; fully illustrated, and with nice-looking fonts too! (Weird, I know. But fonts have to look a certain way for me – not too big, hopefully serif fonts – for me [...]

Reading Nooks

AFTER: I bought a RM49 chest from IKEA, placed a few cushions on top and wala! A reading nook.
A comfy place to read your books … that’s always a dream of mine. This little reading nook is not complete yet. There’s still a picture of Legolas [...]
