My friend Dante and i went to our favorite bookstore last Saturday. It has been quite some time now since i did some book shopping. With no particular title in mind, i browsed through covers and pages, hoping to find something interesting.
There must have been only three other customers in the store when we got there. But after a few minutes, the floor started to get busy. This made me think to myself and smile. It was nice to know that some people, like my friend Dante and i, still preferred their doses of knowledge from books and magazines! Well, maybe not as much people as there were at the video shops, but relatively speaking, it was a good number.
I have heard of some lamentations a few years ago that less and less filipinos were reading. Maybe it's not just because of the internet but also the fact that good books are becoming a rarity in our schools.
I wonder... could there still be a child out there, sitting in a library, getting lost in world only books can take him to?
