I have found it difficult and expensive to find books anywhere in Bali There are severa "new"l bookstores in Ubud, but they seem to sell the same small selection as you find in Kuta. The best place I found for real books, both fiction and nonfiction, was the Pondok Library and used-book store in Ubud. Just go to the soccer field on Monkey Forest Road and look across the field and you'll see it. They also have e-mail and internet access, and the restaurants on both sides will give you two fine and different dining experiences. I like to get my mail and take it to Aries warung to read it over a beer and some lumpia. Arie likes all the news from anywhere, too. Then the Cafe Ubud for a shrimp and avocado salad.
