Last Tuesday, I took a break and made my way to BookXcess and as expected, I can't help myself when it comes to books books books what more when it's so cheap cheap cheap. I bought these :
1. World Without End - Ken Follet (RM17.90
2. The Choice (Hardcover) - Nicholas Sparks (RM24.90
3. The Gift (Hardcover) - Cecelia Ahern (RM19.90
4. Empress Orchid - Anchee Min (hehe ku beli jua) (RM17.90
5. Oliver Twist - Charles Dickens (RM7.90)
6. Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte (RM7.90)
7. Alice in Wonderland (RM7.90)
8. The Jungle Book (RM7.90)
Tak caya ? Nah tengok resitnya dong..RM116 for 8 books (4 bestsellers, 2 adult classics and 2 kids classic). Free membership + free book thong ( what a sexy name, i loike)
So, that will be my new reading stuffs. What about these then ? Hohoho sgt uzur buku2 ini, aku masih mencari tempat mau 'refurbish' buku2 ini which were printed back in 1950s !! yes...These are some of the books that my abah collected since his school days and these books were my favorite when I was a child. I don't know how many time I've re-read all of it. I'm proud to say that I've read Hamka's greatest novels when I was only 8 yrs old. Thanx to my abah. His habit melekat on me and apart from reading, there is another habit which I inherited till now...

Which is...wrapping the book !! I can't focus on my reading if I've yet to wrap it. If I desperately need to read it right after buying then I'll open up the book enough for me to read. I wont let the book, terkangkang, terkelepet dan sebagainyaa....kalau buku tulis anak aku pun aku wrap semua, korang imaginelah buku buku kesayangan, kan ? tapi kenapa buku yang ni bapak aku tak jaga ? Sebabnya, macam-macam org pinjam, sana sini, koyak rabak & lepas tu abah dah lost interest in reading novels, he moved into academic and religious stuffs. Penuh beberapa almari, all nicely wrapped.
Some of the books :
1. Tenggelamnya Kapal Van der Wijk - Hamka
2. Ranjau Sepanjang Jalan - Shahnon Ahmad
3. Di Dalam Lembah Kehidupan - Hamka
4. Keadilan Ilahi - Hamka
5. Rentong - Shahnon Ahmad
6. Dusta - Aziz Afkar
7. Anak dan Kemanakan - Marah Rusli
8. Menunggu Bedok Berbunyi - Hamka
9. Jejak Langkah - Abdullah Hussain
10. Kenang2-an hidup Hamka - Hamka's Biografi
Still looking for copy of 'Dedaun Hijau Di Angin Lalu' by Manaf Hamzah. I read photocopied version when I was in Form 2. Sanggup x tido tunggu turn, bengkak mata baca bawah selimut. Gila sedih wooo...I want a real copy as a memento.
