Should I, should I not?
Should I get the Harry Potter book? All the hoo-ha over this supposed best bestsellers and pricing controversy really gets my hand itchy. The thing is, I’m least interested in “cerita dongeng”. Most of the supernatural power and fantasy stories like Pirate of Caribbean, Spiderman and Superman bored me to tears…. what not with the Harry Potter movies.
Take the recent Transformer movie for example. We had a watching-movie-team-building recently and were given choice to choose any movie we wanted to watch. Needless to say most of my colleagues went for Transformer which was hot from the oven that time. From the start, I’d decided to give this movie a pass. Causeless fighting and senseless killing disinterest me to the core and I perceived Transformer to be one of those and so I chose to watch different a show. That was a mistake! For weeks, this Optimus Prime appeared everywhere, in countless emails, blogs, papers, msn icons, tv, advertisements, etc and was the most talked about subject. I felt alienated on Earth. Everyone gave me their two cents worth of opinion that I should really have watched it.
Should we do something just to keep up with the Joneses? As much as I deny myself to be a social animal, I still succumb to it, once a while. **sigh**, my book allowance reached a deficit high this month, with my latest >RM100 book ordering from Amazon just last Friday. So, all those who have read it, tell me, it is really worth it to buy that way-over-priced Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows? Better still, anyone is kind enough to lend me yours?
