As sort of homage to "Atonement" and to serve my continuing interest in Ian McEwan's works. I've decided that the last significant thing I'll do before the year ends (instead of undergoing food coma) in a couple of hours is to read
"Atonement" the novel. With Dario Marianelli's musical score as background music for added effect (I'm digging "Elegy for Dunkirk").
***
After checking the novel's availability in Powerbooks, Fullybooked, A Different Bookstore & National Bookstore branches (the ones near home) I found out yesterday that many booksellers are out of stock, much to my dismay.
I'm a bit picky when it comes to buying books. And one of the unspoken rules I follow is to never buy a title's "movie tie-in edition".
But the afternoon's decision came down to this
buy the movie tie-in version in Greenhills (A Diff Bookstore) or go on a pilgrimage to Rockwell (Fullybooked) and buy a copy with the 2002 cover.
It turns out my dad was supposed to buy some food stuffs at Greenhills this morning so the free ride easily trumped Rockwell.
If your planning to buy the novel in A Diff. Bookstore Greenhills, I'm giving you the heads-up by saying I've bought the last copy.
Happy New Year!
