KL Book fest 2008 and James Patterson
By Karthik | June 1, 2008
He is definitely one of the best thriller writers available on the face of the earth at the moment. He is the creator of the character, Alex Cross. Of course his other books are equally thrilling and interesting; I have developed a special liking for the Alex Cross’s series, if I may call it so.
He is James Patterson.
Recently they had BookFest in Kuala Lumpur Convention Center, Malaysia organized by Popular Bookstore. I didn’t have any clue that it was being held, until a day before the last day (1st June 2008 – Sunday). They had it for a week, and since I am on holidays right now, I really needed to catch up with some reading. Thanks to my best friend who called me up and told me about it. Without hesitation, I agreed to go for it and got myself books for almost RM500. Yes, that’s pretty much like 10 books and I finally got hold of the Patterson’s books that I have not yet read; for the best price possible (I really hope there isn’t a better price than the one in BookFest because I would envy those who could obtain it elsewhere for the price of what I got it for because I practically spent almost 5 hours just walking and standing.)
Oh btw, James Patterson, the last I checked, is quite fond of blogging. Since there has been a huge number of Celebrity bloggers and VIP bloggers these days, you may never know who might start blogging. We have ex-premier of Malaysia who blogs, and that to me, is a great credit to the blogosphere (though there have been rumors about the whole scene which I am not interested to go into better details). And I also know that’s an old news, but that’s about the point I’m trying to make. The blogosphere is shifting purposes or I’d rather say, there’s an addition of genre’s to blogging that just keeps growing as the creative human mind keeps contributing to the blogosphere.
Too much about blogosphere now. Let’s forget about that and move back to James Patterson.
He definitely isn’t my top author, but I just felt the need to read some thriller books and James Patterson have wrote some decent ones which I’m liking… hence, one of the best thriller writer on the face of earth, for now :p
