Singapore Book Fair, the longest running book fair in Singapore, will be held from 3 to 9 June at Suntec Convention & Exhibition Centre, Hall 401 and 402.
You have to be there because Alvinology says so:

On a serious note, reading is seriously good for you.
My parents cultivated me to adopt a reading habit from young and I personally see the benefits. The more I read, the more knowledge I accumulate. I hope to pass on the same values to my son, Asher.
Even till today, I still read around two to five books each month.
Visiting book fairs is a good way to get into the habit of reading. Instead of shopping for fashion, try shopping for books and you may just find it equally therapeutic like I do.
Why not start with this upcoming book fair?
