B:READ!
Be Read! Also, we like bread.

If you take a book with you on a journey, an odd thing happens: The book begins collecting your memories. And forever after you have only to open that book to be back where you first read it. It will all come into your mind with the very first words: the sights you saw in that place, what it smelled like, the ice cream you ate while you were reading it… yes, books are like flypaper - memories cling to the printed page better than anything else.
- Cornelia Funke, Inkheart

mmm…. books!
This is a mule disguised as a library. He brings books and literacy to children in remote Venezuelan villages. Mules like him are called Bibiliomulas and they are perfect.

Went to The Mall at Gadong, BSB few weeks ago and found this cozy bookstore named Best Eastern.
With 90% unsealed imported books and some children chair, this bookstore become one of our favorite places. Unfortunately they don’t have any Indonesian books nor Detective Conan’s manga.
And anyway, reading for enjoyment is what we should all be doing. I don’t mean we should all be reading chick lit or thrillers (although if that’s what you want to read, it’s fine by me, because here’s something else no one will ever tell you: if you don’t read the classics, or the novel that won this year’s Booker Prize, then nothing bad will happen to you; more importantly, nothing good will happen to you if you do); I simply mean that turning pages should not be like walking through thick mud. The whole purpose of books is that we read them, and if you find you can’t, it might not be your inadequacy that’s to blame. “Good” books can be pretty awful sometimes.

The good, the admirable reader identifies himself not with the boy or the girl in the book, but with the mind that conceived and composed that book.

“A combination of grassy notes with a tang of acids and a hint of vanilla over an underlying mustiness.’”
The scent of an old book, for a scientist.
