my loserly life
I have spent more time in Starbucks than in any other place in Hong Kong. I hate myself. But it's just TOO convenient and freakin' comfy in there. I've tried going to different cafes but I end up in Starbucks...because of its cushy chairs and tasteful music.
Bookstores, like art stores and stationery stores, make my world look a little bigger. full of possibilities and all in the form of paper/whatever else. My initial plan was to find one good book, buy it, finish it, then go back for the next one. A systematic thing in which I reward myself for every book I read. Because I love bookstores so much. But what can you do when there are too many to choose from? Now that I have time and interest to read...intensely...I can't seem to choose. Today, I picked up Indecision by Benjamin Kunkel (it looks funny and reminds me of my sister because she's damn indecisive), Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Murakami (jim loves this author so i decided to give it a go) and The Complete Stories by Kafka (people kept comparing murakami to kafka so i said "alright already!" and got this). Ah I can't wait! God I'm a nerd. A nerd with too much time on her hands.
