It's painful to know that eventhough I have the money to spend on literary endeavours, I feel reluctant to pay such a ridiculous sum for a paperback romance novel. Bring back the good old days when I could easily afford a new-released novel for less than RM30! *blames the 60% of Malaysia's population who don't buy (nor read) books*
However, I do confess that my guilty new hobby of album collecting is the major reason for my reluctance. Apart from this, I can no longer find time to lie down (my favourite position) to finish a book in ONE day without falling asleep - I'd be too bloody tired to even pick my hands up.
So what do I do to assuage my deprivation? Illegal download, of course! Mwahaha! Hooray to bittorrent! All the.. erm, 'romance' e-books I've been wanting to read (like Jet Mykles' Dark Elves series) are just a click away. I've already started with 40 titles :D
But slouching infront of the monitor while tapping away at the Page Down key won't ever feel the same as having my nose burrowed into a book. Never! siiigh.

Won't it be superb to have trees growing books according to authors? Or maybe, customized titles would be better. Hmm.
^YEAH MAN. this tree is called J.R Ward. then all her books grows there x]
yeaaah. if only moneh grew on trees. or come in the post every day. so nobody will be busy plucking away. that would be for the needy who desperately need them. magical trees. who wont allow their leaves to be plucked by greedy and the non needy. only by the desperate and blah.
