Books 書

The annual book fair has just concluded on Tuesday. I have tons of unread books. I purchased these books because I thought I would love reading them, but put them to the bookshelf after flipping not more than 20 pages.
Don’t wanna to buy books that I will not read. I am refrained from buying books after merely a glance of the covers.
I have bought seven books, of which five are about my favourite subjects. These books are The Reader (I like the movie very much), 村上春樹(Murakami Haruki)的「關於跑步,我說的其實是……」,莊曉陽(Chong Hiu-yeung)的「42公里的風光」(Chong is a reporter. I buy this book because the stories in his blog are good and I am interested in the scenery and people of other countries),一本名為「愛國無罪」的書及李鵬飛回憶錄(Two books only cost HK$5)
And I have bought a book named The Reluctant Fundamentalist. I have read a shortened Chinese translation of the story online already.

My friend Matt bought me a bag of coffee powder from Vietnam and the filter. I am making Vietnam coffee for dinner at office. The quality is not as good as what I have tasted in restaurants.
I need a book about making coffee.

一年一度的書展在星期二完結。
我在家中已囤積了一大堆未看的書。買這些書時,很多時都因為封面或書名吸引,沒有細看內容,結果在家中看不這20頁就不再看。
今年限制自己買一些封條吸引但不知內容是什麼的書。
買了7本。當中5本的題目真的是自己有興趣的。這些書包括「讀愛」﹝我喜歡那電影﹞、村上春樹的「關於跑步,我說的其實是……」﹝簡體字版,25元﹞、莊曉陽的「42公里的風光」﹝莊是前行家,不過,買這書是因為他的blog好看,以及我對各國人景物有興趣﹞、一本名為「愛國無罪」的書及李鵬飛回憶錄﹝兩本書才5元﹞。
還有一本名為「拉合爾茶館的陌生人」的書。買前已在網上讀過中文翻譯濃縮版。

朋友Matt在越南買了咖啡粉及過濾器。在辦公室吃晚飯時就弄一杯咖啡,自家製的品質不比餐廳的好。
我要一本咖啡的書。
