Lau Niang goes to book fair

Last Friday, Lau Niang went on a book frenzy. I’m telling you, I was on rampage! I ran amok….like I’ve never seen books all my life before. Ok…so that was a little over….tapi suka mak lah! It was Catty who brought me to this MPH book fair…..hidden in the seclusion the ever busy city. I’ve never even been to the place before and the entire book fair is like a night market.

It was held in open air. Those giant unglamorous fans that blows your hair out of proportion stood in every corner you can find. The whole area is packed with jostling people browsing books everywhere. Promoters hollered great deals over the microphone like their selling pots and pans in a night market.

But oh the discounts……it’s crazy I’m telling you. It’s a haven for book whores! I’ve never bought so many books in a day before. And EVERYTHING costed below RM100. I kid you not. Latest fictions were on sale for RM20+, hardcovers was on half price and the deal goes on.

So this is what I bought….

RM23



Only RM 1o!!!!!


Hardcover.....RM37. Used to cost RM70. Been aiming for this book since 1930.....



RM 20 only!

Ain’t that a great deal! And to top it all up, I went for YET ANOTHER book fair. On the same day. I know….its crazy….told you I’m a book whore. Ha ha ha!

But sad to say, the Popular book fair was a real boo boo. Despite the comfy air conditioned venue (it was held in Ikano), the discounts were so stingy I tell you. Its like…although the selections are comparatively better there….but the discount only 20%...no point lah! All see no touch only.

But Lau Niang still managed to grab a title under the 70% discount bin though. I can never leave a bookshop empty handed. I managed to get Albert Camus’ The Plague for just RM16. How’s that?

I went home so contented and proud. I now have enough to read for a year man! So if u ols will excuse me, I have to get back to my reading now. And meanwhile you get all your asses to that book fair. IF its still there….

You don’t know what you’re missing man!
