i truly enjoy the company of books. sometimes, i even fail to draw the line on being 'reasonable' and being fanatic.at the moment, the 50% of the books in my collection has not been read. and still - i STILL shop for new books.. gosh.. i think i need to join a support group or something.
yday i was surprised that the university library has very much improved since my last visit. i mean, despite having split frm the rest of the faculties, the books do commensurate to the size of the building (at least).
i was very shocked to find -four sisters of hubei -the core- the 8th habit by stephen covey- LOTR -ten thousand sorrows -falling leaves(yes!i can't believe it either) -john gray -wild swans-karim raslan-jasper becker-lee sukim-richard carlson- niencheng-hemingway-rick bragg-bound feet western dress-shanghai baby-gao xingjian-tony parson-pearl s.buck-arundhati roy-asian beauty-tenzin choedrak. i think there is a conspiracy behind the purchase of all these books. i have used up all my loaning priviledges to borrow 3 fiction books!! and they wonder why graduates these days are unemployed. =(
ok story time - last monday i went to mppj library. i saw this old man jotting down notes in a book (wat seems to be a personal one) . wat caught my attention was that he kept looking outside the window after each scribble. i walked over and saw that he had a very huge childlike handwriting - which gives me the impression that he might be very friendly. i now regret not striking a conversation with him. i hope to see him again. this time, i'd surely take my chance.
the mppj library offers its patrons the convenience of renewing their loaned books through the phone. i forgot to bring one of the books i borrowed, so i asked if i could renew the book via face to face. she said no. i thought 'FINE". so, i went outside, took out my hp and dialed the given no. and renewed the book.. and i thought.. ah... such a fool proof system. hahaha
