現今全球對文字的興趣退化，加上互聯網的出現，直接影響人們對書本的需求。在這種環境下，不得不佩服至今仍屹立不倒的出版商。例如，今年七十大壽的企鵝，它的與時並進生存之道(早在1995年已網絡化)，絕對值得學習。
我猜，與我同輩又愛文字的朋友，對企鵝應該有份感情。您的書架上必定有一本企鵝出品。企鵝會令我聯想到辰衝，我年少時的英文書全都在辰衝買，而在書海裡企鵝是較平宜，因此也是陪伴我成長的其中一個標誌。
第一本超過四百頁的英文書在1986年辰衝買的企鵝出品 “SYBIL”, 2005年新近在商務買的 “Da Vinci Code”。
唉！事隔廿年，閱讀英文書依然是 “古古吓” (自己想像生字的解釋)，從來沒進步，失敗！

Is SYBIL good? Have you read over and becomes a 16 personalities woman? It sounds interesting.
I don't think I can understand Da Vinci Code in English version so I bought the Chinese version.
I favour English language than Chinese since primary school. Just because I thought that English is easier with only 26 letters and Chinese has How many??? So, I decided I read English more,( silly me) As of yesterday, after a conversation with my English speaking husband, I concluded that my language skills are pathetic in both Chinese & English. But the lucky thing is I use my personal skills as a self defence to make sure my message get across.
What am I trying to explain!!!! I forgot already......nevermind, you can say whatever you want and so can I, right!!!!!

Sybil is very good. I still have the book but the cover is gone and few pages missing.

OKOK, of course you can say whatevey you want here! And, I had to tell you that your personal skill is very very very ... good lah!
Of course you have to "gu gu ha", everyone does that! You can't possibly know ALL the words! I do the same thing and I've lived in England for 13 years. So nothing to feel bad about!
Really? That's make me feel better! HAHAHAHA!
