My mother was expecting her 4th child and no longer had time to read me 20 books a day. Every photo since then, in the family album, I am holding a book. I've been reading a lot for a long time. About my libraryIt's big and it's growing. I just can't help myself. One of my friends told me once that I was the only person they knew who would need a shopping cart in a bookstore. That might be true, but I'm pretty picky about what makes it into my library.

Books. Hmmm. The best overall history book is by Michael King, an excellent NZ historian who died a few years back. I think it'll be in my catalogue on here and book depository or amazon should have it. Dense but very thorough. I'll think of lots more but that's off the top of my head. Another really good author is James Belich but his stuff is more on the Maori wars of the 1800s. Save that for when you've got the big ideas down pat. Two good newspaper websites are www.stuff.co.nz - th Wellington newspaper - and the NZ Herald www.nzherald.co.nz. Suffice to say though that after 10 years away I still read the new York times whenever I get a chance!!!
Ok going to be late if I don.t stop typing. More thoughts later. I'll find you some blogs to read.
