This week I spotted two different young men carrying Game of Thrones books, one in front of the bar where I sometimes attend a weekly poetry night and one on the MTR. On Sunday I was in the Mandarin Oriental for some afternoon cake and spotted a young boy with The Adventures of Hugo Cabret. Later, on the MTR, I spotted a man reading an English thesaurus. He wasn't taking notes or anything, just reading. That might be a first for me. I counted four Chinese books this week, not including my adventures in the new Eslite bookstore.
What are people reading in your town this week?
I saw a young Asian woman reading 50 Shades of Grey in our local shopping mall.She was sitting on a very uncomfortable seat. They are made of hard metal strips in the shape of lips...maybe this was her way of living out her fantasy...
