i went into a library last night. i can hear you all now - “you’re on vacation, why are you in a library??” but it’s MY vacation and i wanted to go into a library so stuff it!
anyway, the point is that books are another place where the US and australia are radically different. for example, they think science fiction actually qualifies as fiction. they lump it in there with all the rest, and they seem to like it quite a bit. if you’re a trekkie, you need to relocate down under and find some social acceptance.
books are also ridiculously expensive. a frickin’ paperback at borders (yes, they have borders) is like $30!! there aren’t any presses here so all the books have to get shipped and you sure do end up paying for it.
okay, enough with the book talk. i’m going back to surfing and drinking and smashing australian women.
right.
