About Me
I am a book editor who lives in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I am hopelessly in love with books and the freedom to read whatever makes me happy: fiction and nonfiction. I have always been obsessed with the relationship between literature and life and its role in society. As an editor, I have edited many books, but never get tired of the grand adventure of reading. We must never underestimate the redeeming power of fiction in our lives. The idea that there is something out there that is far, far bigger than our lives sustains some of our lives. Here I will discuss only good books and their authors and point you to books and authors both popular and not so popular. I am the co-editor of URBAN ODYSSEYS: KL STORIES (MPH Publishing, 2009).
