Mendocino and Other Stories
This is my first time reading a novel by Ann Packer.
Yesterday,completed in a record time of 5 days reading A Matter of Honour by Jefferey Archer.Nice thriller but nothing much for knowledge and wisdom.
Today,I bought a book full of wise discourse by Paulo Caelho-Like The River flowing..

A Matter of Honour
The title attracted my curiosity because not many people these days talk and have honour. When I check the author's name,then I immediately borrowed the book from Azizah.I hope to return the book by the time time they came back from umrah. To Anuar and Azizah,may your journey to The Harams be showered by rahmah from Allah swt.
The author's name is Sir Jeffrey Archer.

Operation Red Jericho
The book is worth every ringgit.Please go and buy one copy.Only three copies left at The Borders.
At The Borders
Yesterday, my son Amir and me were at the Borders.I bought Operation Red Jericho and it is a really nice book to have.After browsing the bookshop,I spent some time with my son to discuss about his future and career over a cup of coffee at the Starbuck Café.
These are the moments that I enjoy when my kids are still with me....soon,he has to start working and having a family of his own.Just like I did almost 30 years ago.
That is life...I can't eat the cake and still have it.Both of us share a chees cake;-)

Bookcrossers Meeting-Feb.,2006
Tonight I am listing all my books that I have not read in my moleskine notebook.If I were to read all these books,it will take at least another year. As any booklover must admit,he or she will buy at least another six books this year.
There are 10 more months to go, but during Ramadhan,I will be reading only Quran.That will leave me only 9 months. This year, I must restrain myself from impluse buying of books. I need a plan.
I hope to learn from fellow booklovers on what books to buy this year.
