One of the Greek philosophers [can't remember which] said that when he gets some money he buys books, and if there's any left over he buys food and clothes. Or something to that effect.

I have a loyalty card with Kinokuniya so usually shop there and find it better anyway. You can get most classics and popular stuff, they stock from America and UK. So we often get a different version of a book - which can be fun. Sometimes the US jacket will be better than the UK one. <BR/><BR/>I don't really know why English books are easy to come by here (well, other than that there is obviously a market). Can you imagine being able to buy a Thai book in London, Edinburgh or Dublin?<BR/><BR/>JJxJenny Beattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00640209636605410939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148402657600219790.post-7610057182116633412008-02-09T16:43:00.000+07:002008-02-09T16:43:00.000+07:00Ooh I love book shopping.
