Maybe while waiting for the LRT or the bus.<BR/><BR/>There's this absolute gem of a bookstore that I found in Amcorp Mall, it's called Book Xcess. They sell the books cheap! And we're talking about new books here, not second hand ones. Paperback novels that usually cost about 30 bucks, you can get there for less than 20. :D<BR/><BR/>And for the record, books are always better than the movies they're made into.Haizumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05223330038587591812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839903378804402359.post-73069700419364737982008-01-31T23:22:00.000+08:002008-01-31T23:22:00.000+08:00Carol - I am blaming blogging for lack of reading ...<B>Carol - I am blaming blogging for lack of reading ...
