So I decided to go to the book fair.
The thing about me and books is that I tend to buy them a lot, but I haven't really got my hands around them to read.
Rasionalnya? Kalau rumah aku sendiri nanti tak ada library dan rak-rak buku cantik aku tak tau lah. Ataupun, cita-cita aku nak buka bookcafe nanti tak tercapai, aku pun tak tau mana nak sumbat buku-buku ni! Ataupun, kalau anak-anak aku nanti malas membaca, memang aku sekeh sekor-sekor.
And let me tell you this, I still have books in the boxes being shipped from United Kingdom; hasil pembelian setahun di sana.
Jadi, tak teruja sangat lah nampak buku semalam; mungkin juga sebab aku rasa mual. Okay mungkin sebab hampa tak ada buku bertemakan Psikologi; Falsafah ataupun Psikoanalitik. Ah, Malaysia should have its own Karnac Books.
But I managed to get the books anyway, 5 books for RM44. Which roughly means £8. Kalau aku ke sebuah kedai buku di Oxford di mana semua bukunya dijual pada harga £2 pun aku hanya akan dapat 4 buku. Or the second hand bookstore, which again I think Malaysia should really have.
All the above ramblings aside.
Apa yang telah menarik perhatian aku semalam adalah bilangan orang yang mengerumuni kawasan "Self-Help" dan "Idiots Guides to"; what does that imply?
People are lost or are they just simply idiots?
Nothing personal against the individuals really. Just you know, see the bigger picture. The dire need of people in search for something (or more). The one hand that will pull them up and out from their pool of troubles. That search for Freedom from all these freedom.
Btw, BBW Book Fair playlist I personally think, is a duplicate of mine! Kudos. :)

There's a second hand bookstore in Amcorp Mall! :) And there's also another bookstore in Amcorp called Book Xcess. Not a second hand bookstore but the prices they offer are way cheaper than other large bookstores in Malaysia :)
