Thanks for the suggestions, and Mandlilur, am hoping you'll share your knowledge of the book sales/groups :)
Since my last post (we don't yet have an apartment, hence the internet access is a little erratic), I've been the Jarir bookstore - and Gadarene, you were right - it is little more than a stationery shop! Thanks to all your inputs, my disappointment wasn't as huge, being prepared 'n' all :) What's with ALL that chick-lit?
Anyway, I just bought a Yann Martel book (probably my smallest bookstore buy to date!). Will look in on Virgin, too, of course still forewarned :)
Unfortunately, I'm beginning to see the sense in things like KIndle now, though I never thought I'd say that!
Tinkerbell, there really IS nothing like the feel of a new book.
Ah well, looking for ways 'to do things differently', then :)
Nic, I am beginning to notice, albeit not yet in a position to make informed comments, the state of resigned compliance.
