Book Shopping
"Books are the carriers of civilization…They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind. Books are humanity in print." -Barbara W. Tuchman
My typical sunday schedule would be getting up really late, laze around for the first part of the day before hogging the computer to do some work till really late at night before heading to bed.
Yes, i do work on Sunday and i feel rather pathetic about it. But today, I decided that I shall give myself a breather and just stop thinking about work for once. I think i would go bonkers if i dont give myself a break.
So, I drag my brother to the Warehouse Book Sale at Singapore Expo and went book hunting. When I think of Warehouse Book Sale, I was expecting second hand books selling at really cheap price. Well, i was spot on with the pricing of the books because it was really cheap. But no, they dont sell second hand books, rather they sell first hand books. Can you imagine, really good condition books like those you can find in Times and Borders usually selling at 2o plus, only selling at a range of 8 to 12 dollars. Can you imagine how crazy i went searching through the thousands of books that was available there.
If my brother had not nudge me to stop, if he hadn't queued to pay for the books and rush me to the line, if we didn't had to go anywhere else after that, i would have stayed there till really late and picked up more books. But still i am glad he did what he did because knowing me, i would have just splurge and would really go over my budget. All in all, i bought 6 books for 31 dollars. It's really freaking cheap and I am so proud of myself. It's really hard to get motivational story books/novels that you can relate and connect nowdays. The libraries are filled with too much of love story books.
Speaking of good book, the last good book i read was "My Sister's Keeper" by Jodi Picoult. If you are looking for a life story book where you can pounder, cry, reflect and laugh, go get this book. It's worth the money and the time. For now, i am going to get lost in my own world of books. Till then, tkc ppl. Huggies.

P.S: Dont mind me, i am a bit "jakun" so hence the excitement because i never been to a warehouse book sale before.
