Dropped by the MPH warehouse last Saturday for their annual sale. I can't remember when i was last there, but things have certainly went downhill.
For starters, the sale was not in an air-conditioned venue. It was literally in the warehouse and boy was it humid! They no longer have my favourite section: the RM2 table where books (the selection changes hourly) go on sale for merely two bucks. Well, they did have the happy-hour deals but the selection was VERY limited (read: only two books per hour). Boo!
Luckily, i managed to find 6 books, and only for a little over RM100. Definitely a steal compared to the exorbitant price of books at the book stores. Why must books be so expensive anyway? No wonder the reading culture has not really caught on in Malaysia...
Call me a sucker for books but my book collection is expanding and i'm loving it! And yes, i arrange my books according to the author and the chronological order of their publications, then to the height of each book. What can i say? I like my things organised. Even my music albums are in alphabetical order...
