kcf Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Well, the last two months would be a very long list that I haven't committed to memory, so I'll just mention what I bought today. I went to get Ink by Hal Duncan and the local store hadn't gotten it's shipment in yet, so I ordered it for next week. I did go ahead and get the following since I was there. Midnight's Children - Salman Rushdie Collected Fictions - Jorge Luis Borges (English translation) The Double - Jose Saramago (English translation) Bangkok Tattoo - John Burdett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MinDonner Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Had a bit of a splashout in David's Bargain Bookshop at the weekend and picked up: Wild Cards 2 (hoping I don't need to have read the first one...) Knight Moves - Walter Jon Williams The Squares of the City - John Brunner The Stainless Steel Rat's Revenge - Harry Harrison and, of course, Soul of the Fire - The Yeardi Himself :sick: ...all of which set me back £5.50 (total). I should buy second-hand more often! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wedge Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 2 Good Omens, there's a surprise. Did it get reprinted? It may have. There were a bunch of copies at a few different Borders&Nobles in recent months. Some with a white cover, others with black. I picked mine up on a whim, along w/ Vellum and American Gods, at a Waldonbooks that was going out of business and had everything 40% off. Slim pickings, but was happy to find what I did!

MinDonner Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I'm also having a bizarre nostalgia trip and buying up all the Sheila K McCullagh books I can find on eBay, from Billy Blue Hat up to the Hummingbird books... I could get em new for about the same price, but that's not quite the same, I want the proper 70's editions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arbor Gold Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I just went on a book buying spree (yay!), based on writers I have enjoyed in the past and recommendations from friends: The Blind Assassin, Margret Atwood ( I loved The Handmaids Tale) Underworld, Don DeLillo (loved White Noise) Cryptonomicon, Neal Stephenson (recommended by the guy who introduced me to AsoiF) Seeing, Jose Saramago (Blindness was AMAZING) The Gospel According to Jesus Christ, Jose Saramago (see above) The Great Fire, Shirley Hazzard (Won National Book Award) The Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck (severly lacking in classics, worship East of Eden) The Name of the Rose, Umberto Eco (loved Shadow of the Wind, critical comparisons) I'm kind of freaking out...I have no idea where to start! I guess it depends what I am in the mood for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibandar Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 Just added: The Stand-Stephen King (massive 1,200 page hardcover, looks like a great story, have been thinking of buying this for years). The Etched City- KJ Bishop ( after Jay Lake's Trail of Flowers my second somewhat New Weird buy). Seems like a great tale though so I hope to be surprised.
