The title roughly describes what a bookcrossing meetup is like. Went to this month's meetup at Delicious in Bangsar Village 2. I only picked up 2 books. I have so many books on my shelf I have yet to read!!! Currently reading Richard Branson's Autobiography "Loosing My Virginity" and John Grisham's "The Innocent Man". This is the first time ever that I've failed to finish a John Grisham book in 2 days. I've obviously been neglecting my books!!!
I haven't even started on "Playing for Pizza"!! OMG! What's wrong with me!!! Most of the time I read all the books that I have, but as of now, there are 10 books that I either haven't started on, or haven't finish reading it. Oh dear.
Anyways, these are the books I picked up from today's meetup.
GEORGE CARLIN!
never heard of this one, but, no sweat, just read and release.

Now if you don't believe that our bookcrossing meetups are always about people, food and books, let me prove it to you.
So there, people,food and books. Oh, and this is Gary who released the child in him by drawing on the place mats.
Mom listening attentively. Notice the decorations? It was at an art gallery.
After the meetup, some of us proceeded to a reading at Seksan.

zarina: didn't go in the end, was counting the hours, didn't want to drive home at night, and not sure of the area anyways.
gosh, i'd love to attend something like that. the people around me just don't like to read enough.
I know why you can't finish "The Innocent Man" in two days. It's the most boring thing Grisham ever written -.-
nanged ur post cos I think we seriously need more literate bloggers in the community :)
oh hey, thanks for dropping by.
well, I wouldn't exactly say the book is boring straight out, to me it's slow, and the flow is not like his other books (probably because it's not fiction)
I stopped reading Grisham before his Painted House. To me Grisham is a crime court story teller.
I quite enjoyed "Playing for Pizza"! Finished in two seatings.
