books galore ..

the library staff finally called me. the book i reserved that couldn't be located when i went to collect it is now located. finally!!
i have to give two thumbs up for the library system here, if only we have a library back home which is half as good as the one here. the only library i enjoyed visiting during my childhood back home is the one in british council.
complain aside, i'm getting more and more addicted to placing a reservation from the website compared to renting books like i used to. i can save more money though i had to control reserving books as i still have 3 books at home waiting to be read. that's the only drawback of renting/lending instead of purchasing one. well, unless the book is very good i prefer to borrow. i'd just spend my days in the bookshop browsing for books that looks interesting and go online to find it. books that are in my reserved list includes the emotional intelligence book which is strongly recommended by a friend. paulo coelho will be the next author in my list as again, it's recommended by the same friend of mine.
