Texted my friend to give me suggestions on which books I should read. He had given me several authors like Michael Chabon, Andrew Davidson and Jasper Fforde. So off I went to National Book Store to find me a good book.
It is very difficult to find a book in National Book Store. I do not know who arranges the books in their shelves and if they know their ABCs. The books were not in alphabetically order at all. It was hard to find the authors suggested by my friend. And when I did find the author, the recommended book title was not available. I just realized how limited the stock were. It was a bit disappointing.
Anyway, I stucked to Jasper Fforde since he was the only author with several book titles available. I have no idea what his books were about. It was suggested that I get his very first book, The Eyre Affair. Unfortunately, that title was nowhere to be found. So I decided to pick any title from him. I selected "The Big Over Easy", didn't bother to read the back print at all. I found out later that the book was about Humpty Dumpty.
I am now in the Chapter 8 of the book. So far, it has its funny moments. I am a bit curious on where the author will take me with his idea of Humpty Dumpty possibly being murder. I hope it would be a fun ride.
I just realized after I bought the book, scanned its pages and covered it with plastic for protection was that I missed reading a book. I would never have thought about it. I do hope that I can continue on reading books and enjoy every minute of it.
