Trip to a bookstore

Books are akin to a safe abound with a wealth of knowledge and information...yet it was only during these couple of months that I had come to relished the joy of reading novels bought from a bookstore rather than the library. I actually BOUGHT my first book a 3 months ago...Dan Brown's The Da vinci's code.....and ever since then...I've never looked back. The second investment promptly followed in the form of another DB's multi-genre series...part thriller-conspiracies ladened-romantic and thought invoking....However..It seems that my recent costly obsession had gotten to my head as I seem unable to rein in on my urge...instead my hunger for more drove me further on...in desperate search to quench my dying thirst for a good read.

Alas...I walked purposefully into a Popular bookstore in Toa Payoh...determined to add to my paltry collection. It was then that I was attracted to a book of rather relatively simple cover design as compared to its more colourful and illustrious labels around. Upon reading through the blurb...i decided that maybe books can be judged by its cover....It was Mitch albion's 5 people you meet in heaven.....Simple plot it may be...yet i believe that a truly enlightening lesson awaits to be uncovered. Anyway....a boorish man approached me whilst I was browsing through...enquiring me on the content of a couple of books he had picked...possibly for his son or daughter.

Anyway..on hindsight...the above post was done in the spur of the moment..and add to the fact that I had too many a vampire related movies during the weekend..thus it had been largely exaggerated and written as if I was driven for blood...though the encounter with the man was perfectly authentic. There are many silly moments in our lives...I guess this is just another one......hehe
