My parents store our old belongings on the attic of their house, and when I was in the Netherlands I spend an afternoon going through them. I found a lot of the books that I had really missed in the last 2 years.

In the week that I was in Holland I also bought a couple of books. Mainly about Dutch recent politics and some nostalgic literature.

I brought some of the books with me in my luggage, but there were way too many to bring all of them. I sent the books by economy mail from the Netherlands to Durham (8.4 kg/18 pounds). The books had been in transit for 8 weeks, but they arrived on Saturday in good shape.

Books I brought:

1. Colloquial Bulgarian
2. Thinking the Unthinkable
3. Founding Brothers
4. Bulgarian for Foreigners
5. The Federalist
6. The COnstitution of the United States
7. The Words We Live By
8. Economist Style Guide
9. The Globe, the Science of Discworld
10. The Color of Magic (in Bulgarian)

New books, that I bought when I was in the Netherlands:

1. Brood
2. Ooggetuigen van de Gouden Eeuw
3. Dit land kan zoveel beter
4. In Godsnaam
5. Brieven aan Ayaan Hirshi Ali
6. Ik mis alleen de Hema
7. Dutch Delight
8. De Hollandse Metamorfose
