Like a fat kid in a candy store

Posted on March 7, 2005June 30, 2005 by Surya

One of things about living in a country where you cant get English books is that you cant make impulse buys on books. I read about them and order them via my personal book delivery service. I get my books every weekend from Amsterdam. This weekend, I had a surprise in store, “Parallel Worlds” by Michio Kaku. Ever since the book came out in Dec, I have been wanting to have it, but was just dilly dallying since I don’t usually buy hard bound books. But when it comes unrequested as part of my usual weekend order, I absolutely feel like a fat kid in a candy store.

    Yes, Hyperspace is really great and as far as I have read, Parallel Worlds won’t disappoint either..
