About Me
- Name: Eric Forbes
- Location: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
I am a senior book and magazine editor who lives in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I love books and the freedom to read whatever makes me happy: both 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. I am the co-editor of URBAN ODYSSEYS: KL STORIES.

If only it were possible to obtain fine literature in Ipoh and its surrounds. But thank you for your lists and recommended reading.
Martin - thanks for visiting my blog and I am glad that my recommended reading list is useful. You are right - it is difficult to find good literature in the smaller towns of Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur is still the best place to shop for books. Happy reading!
