One of my many hobbies is reading, that is why I didn't miss the chance of going to the 2008 Manila International Book Fair, held at September 12-16 at the SMX Convention Center. One of my churchmates gave me passes for the event, though entrance fee is only PhP10.00 for adults and PhP8.00 for students, librarians, senior citizens (maybe) and children.
Here's what I've got:
(1) Mga Kuko ng Liwanag - Edgardo Reyes
(2) Desaparecidos - Luwalhati Bautista
(3) FHM May 2008 (covergirl: Precious Adona)
(4) Some free magazines in the NCCA Booth
(5) An essay about music from the CCP Booth
(6) Pupung 0 by Tonton Young
(7) Scent of Apples (A collection of Bienvenido Santos' short stories)
I would also like to buy the hardbound Anne Frank book. But I can't since it costs PhP1000.00. Awww... But hey, I've read the book and learned that Anne Frank's whole name is: Annelies Marie Sara Frank...
And I learned a whole lot more through that event. I'll come on the next book fair.
