I love books.
Love, love, LOVE, love, love books! My favorite thing to do in the mall is to go to a bookstore, and browse through books. I like to look at my favorite titles on display, and touch them as if to say, "Hello, friend!" Then I put them back. Somehow, I feel a bit smarter just looking through books, knowing that If I read them I gain knowledge. There's no way you can lose from reading books!
But I'm a bit of a cheap skate. I can't imagine spending P500 on a book (unless it was the latest Harry Potter, then I would wait in line to be the first one to have it. Done that). For me, I would only spend money on a book if it is necessary for school, work or church.
Which brings me to my favorite book destination -- second hand shops!
