I have finally started going back to the library. The cookery section at Bishan is full of treasures. I have started taking notes from the books too for my own cooking experiments. :)
I've also borrowed self-improvement books and I find that the Chicken Soup for the Soul series is far more interesting than the Cup of Comfort series. Though the books from both series are based on the same genre, the stories in the latter seem a little less interesting. What do you think?
There's also a promotion campaign to encourage reading, where users get to borrow double their usual number of books borrowed each time. I'm ecstatic but I doubt I can borrow that many books. I savour what I read and that takes a long time. Also, I don't want to lug so many books home. It is from 1 Nov to 31 Jan, I believe.
There's also a prize for the millionth borrower within the first week. He or she gets a complimentary 5-year premium membership and a Nokia handphone. For the one closest to the millionth borrower, he or she gets a complimentary 5-year premium membership.
Ok, I gave in to temptation and borrowed 8 books, since magazines are included too. I borrowed 5 magazines as part of the 8. They are on the theme of Christmas. I'm trying to get into the Christmas mood.
I am not the only one who gave in to this temptation. I saw a family borrow umpteen books. It seemed as if they were premium members and could thus borrow 16 books each. With the three of them, they could borrow 48 books in total. Their books were mostly children's books. I'm heartened to see that the parents were introducing their child to the joy of reading.
