finally, i could read

i bought this book while i was wondering at the flea market in amcorp mall in p.j with fahmi. sold by an australian (if i'm not mistaken) woman who'd stayed in sarawak for a couple of years before coming to kl. yah, i chat with her for a while, maybe because she had quite a cute daughter with her, but she was friendly either way, so it doesn't matter anyway. so i found this book under the pile of some other books which doesn't seem to catch my attention until this book of 180 pages appears by the author of banana yoshimoto. i haven't read any of her masterpiece before. only heard it from the mouth of syikin and some websites, but still, i bought it without any hesitation. well, it just cost me RM5 and by the way, i've spared some money for a few of second hand books before going to the flea market.

i've also bought capote's in cold blood and paulo coelho's the devil and miss prym at payless books on the same day.

if you're wondering, this book by banana yoshimoto isn't a novel. it's a collection of 6 short stories written by her. all i could say about this book is it gives me gooseflesh while i'm reading it. the same gooseflesh i get when i'm watching a great movie or reading another great books.

i wouldn't review it as there're tons of reviews you guys could get on the internet. you can go here for info about her and here for reviews on her books.

i want to get hold of her other books!

by the way, i'm waiting for a friend to lend me gabriel garcia's one year of solitude. hope i could get hold of it before my busy-ness get a hold of my life! haha..
