This is sad news for me. I was looking up something on Borders, and I found this. Borders, filed for bankruptcy. They are closing about 200 stores in the States, and even though that doesn't affect me here in Malaysia, it's just so sad to think that there are two hundred less warm and cozy places to go to for all the book lovers in this world. (Warm as in the welcoming books, not the blasting cold air. Or maybe it's not so over there.) I never thought that bookstores will run out of business one day, (not that they really are) they always seem invincible to market downturn whatsoever, at least to me. And they are saying that e-books are taking over. I don't know how is it gonna be in the future, but for now, I'll never trade any of my books for an e-book.
And not that it's really related to the topic above, what has happened to this world with all those fightings in Libya and Egypt, inflation, corruption, recession... ... ? Or it's just recession?
