I always wanted to own a bookshop. Thanks to Many a Gem and Amazon we've now got one, in England - and in the US too!

I guess many of you are like me, learning the game as you go along; there are plenty of resource centres on the Web, but sometimes there's no substitute for a decent reference book. Here are some we've found useful:-
These links take you to special pages on which popular books are reviewed and listed:-
Our 10 year-old son, Milo, keeps us on our toes for reading matter, believe me. Here are some books we've found helpful in stimulating his imagination, etc.
Don't get much time for it these days, but for what it's worth, here are some we've ordered recently:-
Well, how else would you describe the following mixture?
Who can resist a travelling companion for whom Australia is a "wondrously venomous and toothy country", the outback "a place where men were men and sheep were nervous"? Or an author who describes an Oz dining-car decor as "fin-de-siècle brothelkeeper"?
In his lazy peregrination of the Antipodes, Bryson gives us an unforgettable impression of its cities, beaches, outback, history, quirkiness, diversity and - people. It's not all Crocodile Dundee, but where else could you imagine someone finding a pet supplies-and-pornography shop, sharing his urine in aid of whatever, drawing spawning salmon cartoons for the Prime Minister, and relishing the world's greatest assortment of things that will kill you.
Laugh? - you'll cry. And so will the Brits when they read his inimitable description of cricket. But, hang on....isn't Bryson an honorary Brit anyway? Click on the link to order a hardback copy of this hilarious trip Down Under from Amazon(UK).
In America, you can buy it under the title In a Sunburned Country. By the time the Olympics flame arrives, you'll feel you've already been there.
