Anyone who says they have only one life to live must not know how to read a book

Ika's mom is going to move to Labuan soon and she would be leaving all her books behind. Being a sucker for freebies, I hogged three huge paperbags of books that should last me til next June or so.

I have just finished lining them up on the rack (according to height!) and am about to cry because it already looks like a mini library :')
crying over a book shelf would definitely put me under the 'psycho' list, so ive decided to blog about it instead (as a way to stop the tears from making a debut).

i love reading books too. always worried every time i enter a big bookstore like MPH or Borders coz i know i'm gonna leave few hundred bucks there. -_-"

but the thing is, i'm more to psychology, philosophy, self-development, self-improving type of readers. like edward de bono's 'six thinking hats' and stuff. or 'dealing with people you can stand' (sape ntah tulis, tak ingat). or in short, i'm a nerd. so....i selalu takder chance nak borak2 ngan kengkawan yang rata2 baca novel2 cool. kalau stakat dan brown's or J.R.R Tolkien boleh lah. bosan gak baca sengsorang. wuwuwu. T_T

p/s: 'Twelve Red Herring' sounds cool. do not find me if that book suddenly disappears from your shelf, aite? it's not me. >=]

Merissa K. said...

LOL. That's why you have to be cheapskates like us and go to the sale for books! nanti i send you the link kat facebook kayyh.

heheh.

your genre sama dengan ika. you should discuss it with her! betul, serious. :)

p/s : if it goes missing, i cari Lya first, then i cari you. :P

hahaha, I know that feeling, some days I just like to take out all of my books from the library and rearrange it alphabetical/ according to height/ fiction-nonfiction.Pastu senyum penuh bangga.Occasionally, I'll attempt to hug my bookcase, and NO I insist I'm not a psycho :P
