:P Real life is kind of important I guess. And getting over the time difference.
I agreee. Have you read Nation?
It's a trip based in the English department of school so mostly literary-like places... mn, off the top of my head: a couple of days in London, one around Shakespeare's home, a day at one of the universities... not really sure without holding the itinerary.
Nation was one of my favorite books from the past year. Have you read it?
That trip sounds marvelous! I didn't make it to Stratford-Upon-Avon but would liked to have. Oxford was awesome. Hee, if you go in February you'll need to buy a heavy coat! Oh, and in London ALL the women had beautiful scarves around their necks. I had to buy one or...three. :)
No, not yet, but I think you were the one who recommended it. I'm working on the second Lymond right now.
I can't remember if it's Oxford or Cambridge we're going to visit. Hm. But I have my fantastic big thick black coat that I got for my France trip! Even though I didn't wear it because it wasn't THAT cold. And scarves - I live for the weather in which I can wear them :D

I like that House of Many Ways so much better than the US cover. And the US cover of Nation sucks and this one is soooo beautiful.
How cool that you're going to England! Whereabouts will you be, do you know yet?
