- For my opinion on "not reading" -
-
- One of my beefs about reading in Australia is how expensive the exercise
- is here. If you want to guarantee yourself access to a book, you have to
- be prepared to fork out bonzo bucks. Otherwise, you have to hope it will
- turn up in your local book exchange or library.
-
- I certainly don't buy NEARLY as many books here as when I lived in the U.S.
-
- OK, now it's time for "why don't you go back home, Yank" ;->
