Ordered New Books
One of the things I like most about going away on a trip is the inspiring new books I get to read. Every year I pack my bags with at least 30 books I collected over the year.
This is my vision of the perfect vacation: sitting next to a swimming pool, in the shade, together with my girlfriend, my two daughters playing next to us, a cold bottle of Coca Cola, my sunglasses and Blackberry within reach and a stack of books on small table next to me.
I have a large stack waiting to be read but I also ordered a few new ones just now:
