Books bargain bin @ Kinokuniya

Went for a workout with Cynthia at Fitness First today and decided to introduce her to my favourite lunch/tea spot at KLCC - Coffee Club Express! when we ascended the stairs at kinokuniya, i gave a slight shriek coz they're having a book sales! *now i can just pick any book i want and not worry about the pocket burning prices* V^___^V

My eyes went into turbo mood and scanned the few book racks for interesting titles and unique covers O.O couldn't find any, so i went to find cynthia and she pulled out a book gave it to me coz she thought i would really like it! Just by looking at the cover i can imagine the contents of it, and my intuition proved me right after reading the synopsis and a little peek of the first few pages (she really knows my taste in book) ^.^

[A Single Shard: Tree ear is an orphan boy in a twelfth-century Korean potters' village. For a long time he is content to live with Crane-man under a bridge barely surviving on scraps of food. All of that changes when Tree-ear sees the master potter Min making his beautiful pottery. Tree-ear sneaks into Min's workplace and dreams of creating his own pots someday. When he accidentally breaks a pot, he must work for the master to pay for the damage. Though the work is long and hard. Tree-ear is eager to learn. Then he is sent to the King's court to show the master's pottery. Little does Tree-ear know that this difficult and dangerous journey will change his life forever]


Then i continued my search and found this book--------->

[My Father's Rifle: AZAD is born in the 1960's into vibrant village culture that hope for a free Kurdish future. But before he is even of school age, Azad experiences strafing and bombing; he watches as friends and neighbors are assassinated; and he sees his own family driven to starvation. forced into a refugee camp in Iran for years, his family realizes that the Baathist regime is destroying the autonomy it has promised their people. The story of Azad's journey through his homeland, later to the West, reverberates with heartrending emotion and chilling loss. ]

These 2 books costed only Rm5 each! Just when i was about to head to the cashier, i spotted something small but had an interesting title-- Exploring the DaVinci Code...
So i turned into the pages and saw that they're good.. Read the info about the authors and found out they're Christians! + It only costs Rm3! that's why i grabbed it without thinking twice =)
