| Nice idea ,but , people really don't read very much over here ,however when you work at a uni with a lot of x pats there are plenty of chances to "swap" books . |

| Just wondering if that was a typo Scot. Did you mean 'happy' youth rather than 'hippy' ? or is it the same thing. |

| read 'Foucault's Pendulum' - well worth the time investment, and far more rewarding than Dan Brown: I can see why his books attract Hollywood, but Umberto Eco is *the man* ... well, the writer of note at least. |
