Anyway, I just drank coffee, good or not, made me think of the book I'm reading ... It 's a story of travel, of course, in Australia, really interesting and fun ... It tells a lot of historical anecdotes and folklore that are not on the rails ...
Although I'm a loooong x finish it, reading is a really nice ...
L' only problem I noticed from the very first pages, is the translation from English (the author is American!) that often leaves a bit 'to be desired ... Now I'm not to list all the crap that we are written, xò paragraph Coffee ... I want him back here xchè really the limit is reached ...

"Almost instantly I became acutely and in a manner strangely delighted, knowing how little I knew the place. I did not know the names of their universities or newspapers or the beach or the suburbs, I knew nothing of their history or their individual achievements, I was not able to distinguish a postman by a policeman.
