However, I would definitely recommend a book that our good friend Plawrence once loaned me. It's
In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson. It's all about his travels through Australia, and it is obvious that he loves the country. It is also wonderfully funny.
I thank everybody for the advice they have given me!
And I've looked up this book, SB, it looks like they have it at our public library, so I plan on checking it out.
