I have been a fan of reading books back in my grade school and early high school days, which was when Internet was not yet accessible and popular. I remember before that I bought books everytime I go with my mother to the city. I get to be excited every time we visit a bookstore or a public library. We also had in the house a science encyclopedia and a world atlas books which I read every morning during the summer breaks.

Today I think I am bringing back that habit. Influenced recently by a friend, he recommended three famous books (which I just got familiar with) to buy and maybe have me buy a shelf for it. The book titles are: The Art of War, The 48 Laws of Power and The Art of Seduction. This got me thinking that aside from those three books he mentioned, I can look for other books that are of related topics. With that regard, I think I will just start a mini library in my room.

Right after the holy week holidays, I went to Robinson’s National Book store to find out if they have the three books on stock. Unfortunately, only one is available (The Art of War). The one that I least liked. I then went to the other book store, Book Sale for the same purpose. They also don’t have the books on stock so I just sort some of those that on sale and came upon this book that costs just 30 pesos.

I think this will help me in my future diet plans which I really have not started yet. This will serve as my current reading material at home while I wait for the restock of the aforementioned books. There is an option that I can order books from the other NBS branches in Manila but I wanted to save myself of the shipping hassle as I recently had a bad experience on that one.

Anyhow, I might frequently visit the bookstores in the future in search for random titles that will get my interest and attention. I think it is a good thing to spend your money on books rather than on booze or fastfoods right?
