White Teeth has been on my TBR list for ages now. I have it stored away somewhere, but have yet to get around to it. :rolleyes:

Ditto, and at the moment, I'm on a squash court, somewhere in London. :)

I'm sure there are some people who would. I'd always thought of 'travel writer' as one of those dream jobs. There are bound to be people who would travel anywhere, regardless of how hairy the area is. Good point - that is odd. :eek: Surely he would have to claim expenses, or justify his...

Me too! :D

I just use a normal bookmark, often free ones I get from the local library.
