What to do? : Books

I remember I am always complaining that the books here are so expensive. That I refrain from buying books. That I would go back to Malaysia and buy stacks of book and lug it back here.

But perhaps it was one of the incidents that I discovered cheap good books in this country. Hmm that was back in March 2008 (it's so good to blog. You can keep track of time). Man that wasn't so long ago.

But anyway, since than, I begin to collect reasonable cheap books found in certain stores and books exhibition they have here. By the way, Rawn@k over here, where I bought the books back in March 2008, seem to run out of books now. Oh well there is always Q@tar Guest centre and perhaps J@rir (equivalent to MPH). J@rir islamic books are still cheaper than the one in MPH.

And now I have books full on the shelf that I have not read perhaps half of them. :O So much of complaining. :P

Sooooo I am thinking (thinking thinking only?) that I should now list my books according to subjects. Fiction : adults and children's, Reference books - encycloepedia, fact book and such, tawheed, Fiqh, Manners, Quran, hadith, children Islamic books, Prophets, Sahabahs and general reference books. Perhaps if I do this I wouldn't buy the SAME books of the SAME title and the SAME author even though they have different cover. :P

I have started this morning by rearranging the books according to the subjects. Insya Allah by doing this, it will help the cataloging process clearer and not to mention to distribute the book weights on the shelf for some rack are looking heavier than another.

Now to catalogue them is another task altogether. Hmmm let us all look at Haziq. Heh school holiday project for him don't you think? A good practice on excel also. Yesss!!

And then we have the papers too. You know the one I get from school. Alhamdulillah I usually punch holes in them and file them accordingly. But there are those downloaded articles, ebook and such that I have neatly organised them in the computer. Some I printed and filed. Some still in the computer waiting for moment to be read. Don't know when though. :P

Now now now. I feel like making a schedule of which book to read first. Overwhelming!

And yet drooling over more books still.
