Bookstores are nice, especially the new generation of giant ones - Kinokuniya (hey i got it right) and MPH at MidValley (I swear i got lost there). Encouraging the reading habit is commendable. THE PRICES, on the other hand, is preposterous. One book I bought, priced at RM40, and 2 weeks later, the same book, being new stock i assume, was being sold at RM50. Ouch.

Errr... Where in frigging hell are schoolchildren going to find that kinda money?

Malaysia - free-wheeling, capitalist, profiteering. Oftentimes absurdly so. We are the land of multiple-distribution-channels! Long live that system.
