Bookfest
Haha! What a day.
Today, Dad n i made our way to KL Convention Centre for the Popular Bookfest for some quality father & son time. Unfortunately we both split up after a few minutes of entering the exhibition halls but hey, at least we both had our own fun. This yr's bookfest is definitely an improvement from last year's. At least now the english books make up 1/3 of the exhibition. In the last one, half of the bookfest was chinese books and 1/4 was music CDs. As a result, the choices of english books wasn't dat wide. However, this year they had quite a nice selection. I couldn't be anymore happier. They even had a small Anthony Horrorwitz section. The only downside is dat they luv to overcharge on food and drinks but then again being a tourist trap, KLCC has always been a bit expensive. But the best new was yet to come!! Dad actually agreed to buy me the books i wanted!! w00t!! So now i've got:
1. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows [yes i noe i'm extremely l8 on this book. yes i noe i've become rusty after not touching a book for so long but cut me some slack...178pgs in 3hrs is still quite respectable rite? rite??]
(Harry + Ginny...awww)
2. Airman
[Another Eoin Colfer book. After reading all his Artemis Fowl books, i just gotta read this one.]
3. Alex Rider Skeleton Key
[Been wanting to read this for a super long time]
The more perceptive of you would probably notice that this list doesn't include dystopians (which, if u don't noe, is my favourite genre). On the contrary, are all under the "Young Adults" section which we all noe is just the bookshop's euphemism for "kids stuff". If you're thinkin that i'm reverting back to a childlike state when your wrong! That stage usually kicks in after a man is married (This is why ur moms always call their husbands "big babies"...at least mine does). Anyway, the sci-fi genre here was pitiful. Only one tiny shelf! Sux! At least the Starcraft novels caught my eye but other than dat it was downright dissapointing. They've got a more "How to draw manga charaters" books than the entire sci-fi selection!!
In any case, i'm still pretty happy wit these books i got..Now if you'll excuse me, Harry's interrogating Mundungus...don't wanna miss dat.
