like a good book
i can't put this day back
Tori Amos - A Sorta Fairytale, Scarlet's Walk
There is nothing quite like the smell of a book, be it new or old. I love the feel of a book. Flipping the pages like motion comic scene, the anticipation of entering a world full of life, colour and imagination. That is why I feel that sense of sadness impending when a book is coming to its end.
I read almost a book a week. So my bookshelf tends to be overflowing. My shelf flows over with books from Paulo Cohelo to Neil Gaiman to Dean Koontz. However, my love for forensic medical mysteries renders me unable to hang on to each and every copy, so I am thankful for some good book exchanges in Bangkok like Elite Sun Books.
You can find a good mesh of books and magazines here. If you time it right, you can even get the latest magazines for only 100baht! People, Who, Marie Claire, Men's Health, Psychologies. They usually have them all. But the best is the range of books stacked pile high on shelves that allow for only one body to persue at a time. It is a squishy little cove of bookery delights! and yes, it has that old book smell. mmmmmm-mmmmmmmmm!! You just have to open the book to the first page and on the top right corner they write the price, the price varying depending upon the age or popularity of the given book.
To get here, take the BTS to Phrom Pong Station
Exit number 5 then walk straight ahead. You will see Eilte Sun on the right hand. If you get to Villa Supermarket, you have gone too far!
