Find a Book... in English

Train rides can be long. Subway rides can be long. Sitting in your room can be long. Sometimes, you just need a book.

This past week, Skyler and I went around the city looking for books in English. Finding them is actually easier than you might think. There are several bookstores in Vienna that sell at least a few English books.

Tip: find a book to read. It is possible to do so in this city at a reasonable price. They usually charge the USD price in Euros, so you're just paying exchange rate... I know, this can be an "ouch." However, I have found some useful books:

1. British Harry Potter hardcover first editions for 11 Euros - one advantage to everyone not speaking English is you can find rare books for cheap

2. The Historian for 3 Euros - it's $20 USD

3. The new Dan Brown book... score.
