andycoll Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 As l am back traveling again and don't have access to my free library books l have fallen back on the trusty Kindle to kep me going. I have just read 'The Black Angel' followed by 'The Unquiet'. Books 5 and 6 in John Connolly's Charlie Parker series. It has been about 14 years since I first read them and l had forgotten how good his early stuff was. Now for a change of pace, and don't laugh, l have started War and Peace by Tolstoy. I still have 39 hours of reading to go. I think I might break this up by reading a few other books here and there. I have 6 more weeks of my trip to go so my aim is to finish it before then.

andycoll Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Finally finished War and Peace. What a boring, tedious piece of shit. It's hard to believe such a long book only covers 7 years of Russian life during the Napoleonic wars. I thought I was going to burn out my Kindle l was flicking the pages that quick. 25 hours of my life l will never get back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai Spice Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Ahoi, ahoi, Issan expats ! Your case is being studied (once more) by anthropologists ! BOOK ON ISAAN INTERRACIAL LOVE LAUNCHES TOMORROW AT BACC http://www.khaosodenglish.com/life/events/2019/09/23/book-on-isaan-interracial-love-launches-tomorrow-at-bacc/ Note the usual Thai respect, using the word "multiracial" where "multicultural" would have been much nicer .... Anyway, at 930 B the book is a steal and sure will have a great succes ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai Spice Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Just unpacked a book ordered through Amazon US. Ordered mid July (see shipment date) , having received nothing end August I was reimbursed by the vendor (incl shipping cost). Guess what arrived today, Nov 2nd ? The book... So, now knowing this I'll order some more (maybe for free) Note that in the past I ordered several times from Amazon Fr, french books for my kids, delivered to BKK and it was no problem . 3 or 4 weeks, all arrived. Bali is a bit more far away.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
