不過人會老亦會變, 最近發覺自己漸漸鐘意逛書店, 尤其城中城間「紀伊國」書店.. 雖然唔會好似「書癡」咁呆上一日, 但係隨意拎幾本書翻兩翻, 就好似我鐘意逛超市咁百無厭倦.. 呢一排似乎對於清朝歷史甚感興趣, 係睇得劇集多嘅緣故?? :p
好想買啲書返去睇, 古有云「開卷有益」, 除咗可以增強知識同文學修養, 最緊要一樣嘢係--可以扣稅添喎!! 呵呵.. 大家有咩好書要介紹咁呢??
do you remember back in your schooldays, one of the items you wrote about your hobbies must have been "reading"?? i think that was pretty a standard model especially for good students, but if you were to ask whether i was really fond of reading, i don't think i can remember that.. what i can tell here is, other than textbooks and some story books i used to (or rather have to) read in school, i don't think i have really completely read up a book since then..but people change (especially as you age), i started to find myself liking to hang round in bookstores, especially Kinokuniya in KLCC.. though i won't be spending a whole day in the bookstore like bookaholics, but flipping though books is almost as interesting as myself surfing in supermarkets (which i love to do).. recently am especially interested in the history of Qing dynasty, perhaps have been watching too much of those drama series?? :p
i've recently wanted to get myself some books, the ancient chinese says "you are benefited once you open a book", yes you got knowledge as well as literately refined, but more important is -- you can get tax rebate from books!! haha.. so any good books (of any type) that you would like to recommend??
definitely "kam yung" novel la~ if u like these kind of book...
ReplyDeleteor else stephen king also not bad :)
I go to Kinokuniya almost every week, and usually will buy some books or magazines.
ReplyDeleteBooks are good companions when I can't fall asleep at night!
hmm.. i normally buy mags more than books lo... but of cos not those Pat Gua Zap Zhi la...;p
ReplyDeleteI read alot as a child and I still do read these days but alot less than I used to. Reading is a good thing. I am into reading photography books too.
ReplyDeleteYa ya, I also find I like to visit to those big book store like kino and times recently. But the books which I flip often are those cooking books, house reno magazines and photography lo ... keke ^^
ReplyDeletesometimes out of pocket money.
ReplyDeleteCan't buy what i want to buy de book...TOT
i love visiting bookstore too, can lepak from one corner to the other kekeee....
ReplyDeleteHahaha, same fren! I read a lots recently! 书到用时方恨少,多阅读能增加知识 :)

Leu:
ReplyDeletehmmm, not quite interested in those 武俠小說, i think i would rather watch drama series, hahaha!! anything more "deep" you would recommend??
khengsiong:

Danny:

Mei Teng:
ReplyDeleteyeah, i guess i read quite a number of books during schooldays, but i think less than 5 after that.. am interested in the Qing dynasty history recently, just don't know why a sudden flux of such interest.. :)
uLi.佑莉:
yeah, kinokuniya times mph borders, i like to get in a flip a few books whenever i've got time.. i like to read recipe books also, i'm so excited when i see nice and tasty food.. hahaha :D
亠乂助:
hmmm, so you can try to get yourself save a fixed amount of money every month.. make it a fund for yourself to buy some books?? i guess this is a good habit.. :)
the happy go lucky one:
ReplyDeleteyeah i like visiting bookstore too, but i won't spend so much time inside lor, the most is an hour or so, cos i cannot stand too long.. unless i can find find a nice sofa, then perhaps can sit there and read a book and spend more time inside..
Kai and Baobei:
對囉, 我就是覺得自己看得不夠多, 好像boh tak chek那樣.. 所以現在難得有那種興趣, 確實也應該開始多看書了.. 你要借我沒有?? :p
十六夜真人:
我也是囉, 小時候應該看過蠻多故事書的, 閱讀比賽好像還拿了個冠軍回來.. 不過現在, 沒有看過超過三本, 哈哈!! 是時候要加油了.. :p
我一睇書就會眼瞓，點解點解???
ReplyDelete哈哈！！
Chinese also says there are golden house and jade inside the books:-)
ReplyDeletebut remember,
if you believe everything written in the books, then must well there is no book....:-)
I never finish the book from the teacher everytime. Haha.
ReplyDeleteeveryday, i hv to read some books. read until my eyes also pain....
ReplyDeletei like read book, but not academic book. but my work is very depend on academic research, so i hv to read. crying
我最近也是喜歡去逛kinokuniya~~ 喜歡逛日本部門的~~雖然不會看^_^
ReplyDelete我也喜欢去kinokuniya~；)哈哈，除了系上要念的参考读物，我比较喜欢看现代文学的作品~:)
ReplyDelete喜欢藤井树:)特别是《我们不结婚好吗》，文字很简单，但是会欲罢不能~痞子蔡的书也好看~
SK 除了做住家男人，还兼职做书虫~
ReplyDelete又有常识，又住家男人feel，
D女给你吸引完咯~哈哈..
You might like to give "The five people you meet in Heaven", by Mitch Albom a try :). Storyline is simple, short, unpretentious and thought provoking. It was on the New York Times bestseller list.
ReplyDeleteThe Abstract:
"This story begins at the end: Eddie, an elderly amusement park maintenance man, dies on his eighty-third birthday in a tragic accident while trying to save a little girl. As he is dying, Eddie feels two hands in his. Eddie then awakens to the afterlife where he meets five people who, in some way, touched his life which he initially believed was uninspiring. These five people explain to Eddie his life on earth."
The story will make the reader reflect on how the decisions & actions that we make & take each day will affect the lives of others, directly or indirectly...
（本来）哇，好有文学气息的叔叔哦...

喜歡看書的男人
ReplyDelete女人很愛
哈哈
花罗汉:
ReplyDelete哈哈, 唔想講嗰句你都逼我講埋, 老人家係咁架喇, 睇無兩行字就會想瞓架喇, 呵呵~~ :p
Grass:
haha, chinese has a lot of nice proverbs, i know you wanted to say 書中自有黃金屋, 書中自有顏如玉.. and the last one you wanted to say is 讀萬卷書不如走萬里路?? :)
Superman:
hahaha, you are not a good student lor, that's all i can say.. if teacher asked me to read, i will finish reading the whole book woh.. hehehe :D
Wois:
ReplyDeletehaha, why treat yourself so badly?? gotta read books until your eyes sore?? hmmm, you are working as a researcher?? let me guess, you sure are doing some geological research.. because you really impressed me with your previous posts on those 地質研究.. :)
venus:
哈哈, 不會看也要去逛?? 原來你是那麼的哈日的.. 我沒有去日本部門, 都是中英兩個部門罷了..
summer:
老實說, 我覺得kinokuniya是全城最不錯的書店囉, 裡面藏書量應該是所有書店冠軍吧?? 我最近喜歡一些清朝歷史, 和那些比較探索思維的書..
chrisiew:
小朋友, 呢啲咪就係成熟男人所應該有嘅魅力囉.. 同你咁精力充沛, 血氣方剛, 週圍紮紮跳唔一樣.. 哈哈!! 大家唔同market, 你唔駛驚~~ :p
IcyFire:
ReplyDeletehey, this comes quite familiar to me, i think i've seen this book before.. maybe in the bestseller or highlights section.. yeah, you are right, as a start i think i should go for something simpler to understand.. i really don't want books that are too heavy till i lost interest again.. haha!!
bluesky:
當然啦, 不然你一位我只會吃sikiling和看金魚咩?? 我最近也喜歡看一些歷史的哦.. 嘿, 買書本雜誌可以扣稅的, 你不知道的咩??
凡人館長《志強 cHeeKeOng》:
哈哈, 我倒不是這麼覺得哦.. 每個人都有自己的品味和選擇啊, 有些女人就是討厭死愛看書的男人啊.. 哈哈!! :p
哈哈！凡人馆长是对的。女人爱喜欢看好书的男人。你也对，女人讨厌“死读书”的男人。明吧？是有差别的！！
ReplyDelete死读书的男人，尤其是教科书，不动脑筋，全盘接受。女人不爱。喜欢看好书的男人，这种男人爱思考，有深度，女人爱。
或许该说，有品味的女人爱喜欢看好书的男人。那些比较肤浅的女人，只爱有钱男人！哈哈！
book fair coming soon at KLCC convention center, time for u to spend XD
ReplyDelete是知道可以啦（人家素读account的~能说不知道吗？orz..)不过在买书时想到这个还真得不是普通的强~~哈哈
ReplyDelete要看就要看文学的
ReplyDelete我老师最近推荐了很多作家给我们认识
三毛-不是三毛流浪记那个。。。
龙应台
林海音
白先勇-这位写的有时是同志情的。
巴金
史铁生-这是一位瘫痪的作家
雪芬:
ReplyDelete哎呀, 正所謂"女人心海底針", 實在是沒有你那麼了解囉, 哈哈!! 有品味的女人愛喜欢看好書的男人, 膚淺的女人只愛有錢男人.. 那麼愛喜歡看好書和有錢男人的女人, 就是聰明的女人!! 哈哈~~ :D
Pooi Tyng:
hmmm, don't think i will go to those fair lor, always so packed with people.. anyway, i'm not a bookaholic, so getting a book in bookstore or book fair really is not a difference for me lor :p
bluesky:
嘿, 這個當然要記得啊, 要不然開開心心給了錢, 忘記了拿收據, 又或者收據隨手丟掉, 到時要做income tax的時候, 看到自己要繳那麼多稅, 真是欲哭無淚啊.. 哈哈!!
Chi Leong:
嘩, 文學作品啊?? 我怕會悶喎.. 三毛和巴金, 以前讀書的時候我都有聽過.. 我覺得我比較適合看一些比較快節奏的東西, 呵呵~~ anyway, thanks for your recommendation :)
I love to read! When I was small, I used to read a lot! Now with working and blogging, I spend less time reading which is a shame!
ReplyDeleteI read all kinds of books, fiction and non fiction. I like new age books, and books that talk on self improvement and spirituality.
I also read books on feng shui and health.
I highly recommend the book Conversations With God by Neale Donald Walsch if you are into such stuffs.
I also like local books written by local authors.
Now I have so many books collecting dust on my shelf unread. Bought them during sales! Must find time to read them! : )
ReplyDeleteToo bad I don't know how to read Mandarin, if not I will be a readerholic! So many good books in Mandarin!
ReplyDelete嘩，突然間變得文縐縐，仲學人睇清朝歷史咁高尚添！最近好少睇書，因爲一旦開始咗就唔停得，日睇夜睇，搭車睇吃飯睇，好辛苦。
ReplyDeleteof cos i buy those relate to my job la..like Vogue Living, Elle Decor..etc..
ReplyDeletemmm not that patkua one la...;p
Kino bugs me, coz most of their books are sealed. I prefer the free reads at MPH or Borders :)
ReplyDeleteHave you read The Last Lecture by the late Professor Randy Pausch? It's an inspirational book. Easy to read too.
ReplyDeletefoongpc:
ReplyDeletewah, you are really a bookworm woh, read so many types of books?? hmmmm, updating blogs and spamming other people's blogs until you don't have time to read?? why dusting them on your bookshelf?? come, give it to me, then i can read on your behalf, hahaha!! or you can come out with another blog contest to win your books?? yeah, a good idea, i'll make sure i get that, hehehe!! too bad you cannot read chinese, there are some really good books i would say, especially on chinese history i think it's best to read chinese ones rather than english translation.. i'm recently very interested in the Qing Dynasty history, don't know why.. i'll go check out the book your recommend, thanks for that.. :)
海市蜃樓:
人會老人會變嘛, 可能睇得港劇多, 所以對清朝歷史產生興趣添, 哈哈!! 你有時間睇書咩乜, 仲以為你依家有咗部Astro On-Demand, 梗係日日都孵響架電視機前啦.. 哈哈..
Danny:
ReplyDeletehaha, even if you are buying those 八卦 magazine also no wrong ah.. to widen your knowledge about the entertainment industry also mah, correct?? anyway, i just dropped by the bookstore and flip those magazine to pass time, haha..
Gratitude:
hahaha, maybe because Kino has more imported books that's why they are sealing all them up?? anyway, still find lots of books that i can read there ah.. especially chinese books, enjoy reading about the chinese history.. :p
HappySurfer:
hmmm, nope i have not been reading more than 3 books since i left school, do you think i've heard of this?? hahaha.. anyway thanks for the recommendation, i'll go check it out later.. :)
嗜好：阅读 = 世姐：World Peace
ReplyDelete'女人爱喜欢看好书的男人'-这句话可以成立，倘若女人相信男人说自己喜欢看好书。
ReplyDelete哦.... 清史? 是正史还是野史?
ReplyDelete几時相约一起走书局?
Chloe (蔻依):
ReplyDelete你這個「嗜好:閱讀 = 世姐:和平」的比喻絕妙啊!! 字面上是稱讚, 其實實際上是揶諛, 哈哈!! 其實除了相信男人自己說喜歡看好書, 還有一樣東西就是怎樣知道那男人如何定義所謂的好書囉.. :p
tagnan:
正史野史都得架, 正史就當係增廣知識, 野史就當係增廣見聞.. 行書局?? 哈哈, 好似十幾年冇做呢件事喇, 你話茨廠街嗰啲?? 多兩個星期KLCC有書展喎, 你去??

ReplyDeleteWois:
ReplyDeleteok ok whatever you are doing, it's still something to do with geology right?? i mean 80% and 100% is the same for layman like me~~ :p
