My Father's book collection (September 03, 2007 )

My father had a huge collection of books. Although he was a doctor, his books are various. From medicinal practice to office management, from sports (martial arts especially) to photography! He had second hand English magazines about home and gardening, cooking recipes, etc.

I did my marketing class homework based on his book collection! Amazing....

He liked to hang out at Pasar Senen and Kwitang, places for old and used books. I remember when I was teenager, he took me to those places and I enjoyed searching for comics books, classic books, children books.

He's got one library on our 2nd floor, his office, and he had one on 3rd floor, in the bedroom. Mom would complain about it 'cos she felt sleeping in book store, lol. But she was right. It wasn't healthy because books collect dust.

Anyway..........All his books were moved to Medan, they weighed around 9 tons! Now I feel I need to read those books. They are interesting and good books!
Especially since I like to write and prepare websites, those can be my sources and reference.

Ummm, so sad. Regret comes afterwards.
