Lively, Martel

Coming from our Naratibo workshop in Antipolo I passed by Robinsons-Metro East before I went home yesterday. I decided I had to buy a new electric fan if I wanted some good night sleep. I naturally visited the Booksale at the basement along the way and ended up buying two hardcovers: Penelope Lively's Making It Up and Yann Martel's The Facts Behind the Helsinki Roccamatios.

I was surprised to find when I arrived home that Martel's supposed signature on the inside cover page of the book might be authentic.
