Meeting up with Tash Aw
Met up with Tash Aw yesterday (Saturday) in MPH 1 Utama. Sad to say, the evening was kinda disappointing.

On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan
Truth to be told. If it wasn’t sold at RM8, I wouldn’t have purchased it, ‘coz it’s only 166 pages and I ain’t paying RM30 odd ringgit (the average cost of a book here in Malaysia) for a book that thin 😛 Here’s the embarrassing part. This book is faaantastic. If I’d known, I wouldn’t…
