Currently in Melbourne at my Dad's place, and I have to say, I'm really glad I came. I cam on Monday, but we didn't get to my Dad's house until late because the train service is being idiotic again. After a few cancelled trains, it was 4:30pm before we got home, so we didn't really get to do anything.

I wanna hear all about the exhibit when you get back! XD Seriously, that sounds so cool. I also want pictures.

lol That's kind of a sad first thought. :( I don't see many people reading Twilight here, but I know it's still selling pretty well. I see many, many fewer people reading Discworld books, though. This is a shame.

Hope the rest of your trip is good! XD

XD Well, I'm not back, but I believe I have poorly connected Internet for the next two hours. :D No pictures of the Pompeii stuff, unfortunately, because I didn't have any battery. I have some of the Exhibition Building, though, which looks pretty darn awesome.

I know - that's the first thing I thought after thinking that sad thought. *sigh* I refused to allow myself to be seen publically reading that book while I was. XD That's the first time I've noticed someone reading a Discworld novel, though. (even though I've been taking one of them all over Melbourne, but I don't count) It's a shame. I'm trying to corrupt friends of mine with it. XD

So do I! Dad's taking me to the cinema and to a couple of bookstores tomorrow, so I'm very happy. ^^ Still not sure what we'll see...

And I, sadly, believe that I'm heading to bed in a sec. I have a long and early(ish) day tomorrow, and I'm already sleepy. :( So, when you get back, yes, for sure. *nods* Too bad that you didn't manage any Pompeii photos.

I think I've seen Pratchett readers before, but I can't remember where or when. ^^; Good luck with the corruption! XD

Ooooh, cinema! Bookstores! Esp. the bookstores! I hope you get lots of books.

Ah well. Hope your day wasn't too tiring. *hug* We had some real hassles with the train service coming home! It was a nightmare! I've never seen V/Line so disorganised. Okay, so it sort-of was (of course) Conex's fault... but still. Rest of the day was great... :D

So long as they're out there, eh? Most people don't read on transport, so you're even less likely to see familiar books. (unless they're called Twilight. *sighs*) Thank-you! I shall do my very best. XP

Well, my Dad got me Going Postal. Without even telling me. Turns out he'd been flipping through Guards! Guards! while I wasn't looking, after I said I really liked Pratchett's stories. So he went into the store and picked one pretty-much at random. XD
