How To Stop (A While Buying Books)?


Lately, I really love to buy books. Everytime I go to Jakarta, Bekasi or places where I can find Gramedia, I’ll take time to visit the bookstore. Even though I know and aware that I still have several unread books, I can’t resist myself to take a book or two with me and bring it home.


The Lovely Books
Those are books that I haven’t read yet.
When I went home last week, I visited Gramedia in Malang while waiting for my travel car. At that time, I’ve already brought The Pillars of The Earth with me to prevent my urge for bringing more books home with me. Unfortunately, it didn’t work. I successfully bought Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, Cinta by Ollie, and Un Soir Du Paris :(.
Now, I am having not less than 18 books to read (and I still want to buy several). I keep opening online bookstores to look around some titles. Somehow I don’t count how much money I’ve spent in a month to buy books.
From each book I get countless information, imagination, irresistible and rapturous experiences, fun, knowledge, devotion, vocab and much more. They always satisfy my thirst to those matters. In short, they bring exuberance on my day.
The last, I don’t know how to control my urge from buying books :(.

Karena penyebab deforestasi sering berasal dari kegiatan di luar batas hutan, tidak cukup untuk menyelesaikan deforestasi dengan melakukan aksi-aksi terpisah yang ditujukan untuk kawasan hutan tertentu. Indonesia juga harus bekerja untuk memperkuat ekonomi pedesaan dan meningkatkan kerja sama regional dengan bekerja di berbagai yurisdiksi administratif yang mencakup tata kelola hutan. Untuk memastikan keberhasilan pendekatan yurisdiksi ini, peningkatan kekuatan ekonomi dan pemerintahan desa adalah kuncinya. Dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, pemerintah Indonesia telah membuat banyak perubahan kebijakan fiskal untuk meningkatkan ekonomi pedes...

Economic Growth in Indonesia: An Assessment

Quality economic growth seems to be a mantra that must be uttered by policymakers and academics in every seminar on economic development in Indonesia. The characteristics of quality economic growth are high, sustainable growth and creating jobs.

Leisure Economy: Enjoy Life While Doing Productive Economic Activities

In the last three years, there has been an interesting phenomenon in the consumption patterns of Indonesian society. Public consumption is down, but the Indonesian economy is slowly increasing. The reduction in visitors to retail outlets in Indonesia, ranging from the conventional to the modern indicates that the consumption of Indonesian mass is decreasing. Conventional retail outlets in the Glodok, Tanah Abang, Mangga Dua, Thamrin City and modern retail outlets such as Ramayana, Matahari and Giant are no longer experiencing the glory period experienced a few years ago. Then, where does the Indonesian people's money run to?  The Illusion of E-Commerce in Consumer Product  Many argue that the lack of retail outlets is caused by the proliferation of e-commerce in Indonesia, especially in big cities that provide complete and easy access to technology and information. The emergence of e-commerce in Indonesia, which sells a variety of household goods, such as Bukalapak...
