how on earth do you read so many books in such little time?
but its not a lot na! thas wot im saying na! i read like madperson lauhging at the rain hahaha cldnt resist.
I've read several of them; am just re-reading my Bill Bryson collection in lieu of actually travelling myself.
yes i do so ADORE bill bryson. *sigh* someday maybe ill have the ability to writ like him. i think my favourite bit of ALL time is his decription of crickwet in "in a sunburned country" oh god i was laughing for hours. plus he gets paid to write books and travel. lucky sod.
