Can I mention that overly exhausted quote here?
“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” — Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
Well I just did.I lost count of times when I tried to buy Fahrenheit 451.
Most times, it wouldn’t be available. Odd, I know
Or it would be too expensive. Unbelievable, I know!!
Or just a horrible copy with words looking like dead ants.
Infuriating.. I KNOW!
So this time, I went to mall as my relative had to do some shopping and I literally stumbled upon this book store (borders) where they had sale going on and this baby was lying there, waiting for me to find it and take it home.
I picked it up like it was my book that I had lost long ago.
And I had it clutched to my chest for so long. I must be looking stupid but I’m sure such embarrassingly blatant expression of love for books isn’t new to people working or shopping there.
I wish I had time to start reading asap. I just cannot wait.
Had to share my excitement with you.
Hope you all are having a wonderful day.

Not so unusual an experience, as a secondhand bookstore snoop I can completely emphasise!

I have bought too many old pale fading books. Some of them show their mileage on the cover.
But small print?? That’s maddening!
So glad i found this one in nicer print.
