I love reading British books! I love how the Brits talk and their terms
for things that are so different than what I am used to in America
(midwest America at that! lol). I find myself using British slang all
the time....I think it's so funny. 

My faves are the chick lit Brit books - Sophie Kinsella, Helen Fielding,
Jane Green, etc. 

One funny thing I remember - my great aunt visiting the UK and asking
for a napkin in the deli! LOL! They thought she wanted a *feminine*
napkin and were blushing. What are napkins called over
there....serviettes??
