Here there are only a few small English bookstores. I often buy books from them — and plan to continue doing so — but they usually need to special order…sometimes it takes a week or two. E-books take only a minute to end up on my Kindle.

I’m always wondering about how people are receiving digital books around the globe. A large majority of hits I get are from Europe and Eastern Europe, which fascinates me, partly because I can’t get a handle on why.

Of course, I live in southern California, where “cold” is sixty degrees, so in all likelihood I’d be too busy panicking, wondering whether my heaviest jacket would be enough or I need to buy new clothes, to whine.

It was a great weekend. The problem with the coffee was that it was made by American ex-pats. Next time you come I’ll take you out for an espresso!

But I know a lot of Swiss and French people, all of them very intelligent and creative. Just a question, though – is Geneva colder than NY? I’d never say that!
