in this digital age when everything is going 'soft', finding a hard copy of anything is becoming a challenging task. i miss the colourful childhood book collection with books of all sizes, by different authors and with varied content. i miss the joy my brother and i shared everytime my father came back home with those purple nguyễn nhật ánh books or everytime my father brought us to the book store to buy whatever books we wanted as a reward for a fruitful semester at school. i miss the simple happiness i felt whenever i was home, lying on my bed and reading those books over and over again.
living in a much smaller house now, having a book shelf of one's own is a luxury that only my father gets to enjoy. however, in days like today when i have nothing to do, i really want to go to đinh lễ to buy books! ): haish if only i weren't living 10,000 kilometres away...
