Which book J, I'll do a search for you, you can get books from £3 upwards but just depends on which one.

Let me know

Oh noone in particular... I just thought that if they were cheaper in the UK, I could buy some and bring home when I come over in august

But thank you very much for taking the time to investigate for me

I usually pay between £3 and £5.50 for a paper back!

I think £11 is very expensive!

Oooh I gotta find some money, so I can buy some books then

Yes I find it very expenssive too, but I dont wanna read the danish books.. I wanna read the books in their "proper" language, if that makes sense

I know what you mean!
I think sometimes words/feeling etc can be lost in translation

OKay

Worthwhile checking out the second hand book shops too - you can get some bargains - but quite often WH Smith have good offers on - buy one get one half price and stuff like that You can see WHSmith at most large train stations like Victoria etc...

At the moment I'm reading 'Rosie' by Alan Titchmarsh, it's hilarious

Just not long bought a pile of Inspector Morse p/bs for £1 each, now wading through them ("The Secret of Annexe 3" at the moment).

I haven't read any of the James Patterson books yet, but have two on DVD (Alex Cross character, played by the excellent Morgan Freeman). I may try the Library for them soon, though (as has Mel, we have an excellent ordering service from the brand-new library in Kirkwall, 30p a throw. (They do an excellent selection of CDs, too, and don't ask if you've cloned them ).

I have a few books on the computer, too, downloaded from a Russian website, in MS Word format - four Harry Potters amongst them.

(The interest in Harry Potter stems from having the DVDs)

Snorri


P.S. - can I claim anything nice for having read my way through Jean-Paul Sartre's "Les Jeux sont faits", in French, voluntarily?
