Doesn’t hold a candle to The Bookworm though, the place is usually packed with Belgians & French folks – and the food is great! No worry about extracting the wallet to buy, new & 2nd hand books.

Thanks for the heads up on the place.

@Jamieson: This weather confuses the hell out of my Canuck-sensibilities. It’s November, and I’m sitting here with the window open and a t-shirt on. But then there’s the humidity – cold humidity… you can’t help but sweat, the sweat doesn’t go anywhere, and you just get this chilly sheen walking around. I strongly believe that Suzhou has the worst weather on the planet. There’s just nothing good about it – except for those two weeks in October and April/May that are sunny and warm (but not hot) – those are a nice two weeks…

@Steven: Not heard of Skoob – clever name. Will have to check it out – “across the street” is well within my “not going out” limits

That “Skoob” bookstore across the street from your house has the best selection in Suzhou, but it’s so pricey.

It’s a useful service, so thanks for suggesting. I’m sure i’ll use that supermarket delivery you mentioned a few days ago once winter really kicks in.

Sleep is good.

Say, what do you think about winter coming up & early ‘09 ? Gut feeling advises it might be the same as earlier this year. The huge amount of fog and drizzle about now is VERY interesting. Still running 20 C in the day @ 85% humidity at the start of November.

Penny for your thoughts ?
