Amazon.com

If you live on an island like Malta,  you always have a shipping problem. Even though it is a European country Amazon.com does not ship to the Island.
I honestly like this place but they kind of have a minor problem of isolation! How can a country, -whose one of two official languages is English-, not have the books of the most classic English Literature?
Or is John Milton'S Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained, John Donne's Love Poetry, or Edmund Spencer's The Faerie Queene just not unimportant at all?
I mean, come on people, you are teaching this stuff at your university, you should make sure your f***ing bookshop on campus has these books and authors in stock, or is at least able to order them! Not even regular bookshops have these!  They can order them but it takes up to 5 weeks until you get them! Good grief! It's halfway through the lectures.. I won't need them in 5 weeks.
SO, I was recommended a goo alternative. www.bookdepository.co.uk . Let's see. I ordered them yesterday and let's see when I am going to receive them!
