But it just jumps at you, doesn't it? Hee.<BR/><BR/><B>Ovidia</B> - Another Proust admirer. You're in good company around the blogsphere. <BR/><BR/>The new Penguin Great Ideas should be available locally September this year. But will probably cost about SGD15.00 - which I wonder if it's worthwhile for a nugget.<BR/><BR/>While I use the library very often, when I actually stop to think about it - I'm not totally okay with books other people has read before. I think: what if they read in the toilet?<BR/><BR/>It's just my OCD working overtime. I know. ;pdarkorpheushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02565452271408221461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914227.post-47661822717408236962008-05-29T17:52:00.000+08:002008-05-29T17:52:00.000+08:00I want the Proust too!& I know the lure of 2nd han...I want the Proust too!<BR/><BR/>& I know the lure of 2nd hand bookshops... but don't you think there's something special about books someone else has read before?<BR/><BR/>have said that I love new books too...& book nuggets...<BR/><BR/>okay, certified book slut here--Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914227.post-75172579646187213542008-05-29T15:18:00.000+08:002008-05-29T15:18:00.000+08:00That's funny, Orwell's book is the one that drew m...That's funny, Orwell's book is the one that drew my eye first.

The perils of second hand bookshops definitely do sound familiar.Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.com
