At this very moment, for the peoples and the nations of the earth, may not even the names disease, famine, war, and suffering be heard.
Rather may their moral conduct, merit, wealth, and prosperity increase, and may supreme good fortune and wellbeing always arise for them.

Dear Fellow Book Lovers,

Welcome to the Book Attic's web site.  Please come visit the attic, it is
located in Central.  The Attic's objectives are:

  • to promote reading interest and the use of English language by
    organising monthly book lover gathering, book club, poetry club,
    and children story time etc., & etc.

While you are perusing the collection in the Book Attic, you can sample,
with my compliments, an interesting variety of Chinese tea.  What better

one of the most interesting areas in Hong Kong that combines the
colours and history of Central and Sheung Wan with the dynamism of a
fast-paced world city.
