  Books!
My two-hour book hunt at MPH MidValley was fruitful. I came back with not one but three books that left me RM 107 poorer, but as I'd spent above RM 100, my MRC (MPH Reader's Circle) membership was renewed for free until 2006. I bought: Haruki Murakami's A Wild Sheep Chase
DBC Pierre's Vernon God Little and
Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things I cannot wait to start on Murakami. I wanted to buy two of his other books, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and The Elephant Vanishes but I didn't want to go home with only one author. As for DBC Pierre, it's only a matter of time till I read Vernon God Little because I've heard so much about it and it won the Booker Prize award in 2003. The third book, The God of Small Things, is also a Booker Prize winner. It looks promising. They all look promising. I love books. Thank you, Jason, for the book recommendation. I will look for it soon.

The God of Small Things ... Ah, this book is certainly well written and it was even put side by side with Rushdie. However, unlike Rushdie's work, this is easy reading and very comprehensible. I was spellbound all the way through the book. Brilliant narration by the author. Very wholesome.
