glutton for books..

I couldn’t stop from piking one book after another. The discount offered wasn’t much, but still better than none at all. Like I planned, I focused on getting local books. Check out my shopping list:
. two books by Seno G. Ajidarma: Negeri Senja, Sukab
. two books by YB Mangunwijaya: Pohon-pohon Sesawi. Rumah Bambu
. two books by Djenar M. Ayu: Mereka Bilang, Saya Monyet and Jangan Main-main
. Ayu Utami: Si Lajang Parasit
. three collection of prose.

Also found 2 comics on the Chinese empire (nice pics, intriguing short stories), a short novel by an Iranian author titled The Blind Owl and lastly something unavoidable, a best seller by Jon Krakauer, Into Thin Air (my excuse was that I’ve been looking for this book for some time, and finally got it ;)).

Now which book I have to read first.. Well I’ve read the comic ones, which was a quick read. hmm.. I could just pick whichever randomly according to my mood at the time, but I definitely should read 1 book at a time, which means no more putting down a book in the middle of a reading and just ignore it half way. it was such a bad habit in the past that I had to fight my way through finishing the book. I’ve determined, if I pay for it, then I have to finish it. No more wasting money on unreadable books.. ;)

Ok, so now I have a supply of books that will accompany me whenever, during those boring waits in the bank or doctor, long hour of travel, unplanned weekends, simply whenever. Think I’m gonna start to read one now.. hmm.. which one should I read now...
