Practical Small Gardens - RM15.92
Because I loved Dan Brown's previous novels I bought his latest work. And because an Asian writer, i.e. Aravind Adiga could win the Man Booker Prize award, I wanted to see what it's all about:

The Lost Symbol - RM25.90
The White Tiger - RM24.67
For the woman that I am:
Eat, Pray, Love - RM25.90
And finally to complete my Malcolm Gladwell collection:
What the Dog Saw - RM23.90
Total damage was RM184.65, which I think is cheap considering the first 6 books at the top of this entry are all printed on glossy thick paper with extremely colourful pictures. Now I'll have lots to read during my trip to Syria and Jordan.

RM184.65 for 10 books?! Why, that's only about RM18.47 per book, which is about less than S$10 or less than S$100 for 10 books!
That's it, I'm going up to Malaysia for any other book fairs!
Good deals, though those aren't the types of books I'd normally read. My wife is reading What the Dog Saw. She seems to be very interested in it. I'll have to ask her what it's about.
A very good haul - I'd go crazy at a book fair.
I'm starting The Lost Symbol today :). Let me know if Aravind's book is good?
Juphelia,
Singaporeans have one of the best buying power in Malaysia due to the currency exchange. I like to think of it as Spore's FDI into Malaysia :-)
Bradley,
Malcolm Gladwell presents his intelligent ideas in a down to earth manner which makes an interesting read. Maybe that's why your wife is interested in that book :-)
Aud,
Yeah tell me about not going crazy at a book fair :-) I haven't started The White Tiger yet, but definitely will soon!
