Zoë Sumra Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Just picked up a copy of LOTR from the second hand bookshop because I suddenly realised a) that I unexpectedly didn't have one, and that a house without Tolkien is like a pancake without Marmite. I resolutely did not buy a copy of Wizard's First Rule from the same second hand bookshop. I nearly took it just as a pick-me-up - so that I could flick through it from time to time and remind myself that there are published authors out there who are far worse writers than I am - but skimming a few pages while in the bookshop soon eroded my resolve.

RedEyedGhost Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hi, My name is Nic, and I have a problem. I fucking love buying books.

Peters The Big Over Easy: A Nursery Crime Jasper Fforde The Girl in the Glass: A Novel Jeffrey Ford Voice Of The Whirlwind Walter Jon Williams Passage at Arms Glen Cook The Wolfman Nicholas Pekearo Little Brother Cory Doctorow Redliners David Drake The Magician and the Fool Barth Anderson Kitty and the Midnight Hour Carrie Vaughn Forty Words for Sorrow Giles Blunt The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress Robert A.

Ford The Glamour Christopher Priest The Extremes Christopher Priest Quin's Shanghai Circus Edward Whittemore The good news that I've got my amazon wishlist down to 49 books...

Werthead Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I just ordered Songs of the Dying Earth edited by GRRM and Gardner Dozois. It's the first book I ever preordered but what the hell? Normally I never pre-order books, as it seems you can get the books earlier if you wait for them to hit the shops (unless it's a huge release like Rowling, books typically appear in bookshops 1-3 weeks before the official release date in the UK: I'll start looking out for Erikson's new book in about ten days' time, for example, although officially it's not out until the 1st of July) whilst if you pre-order most of the time you won't get them until the official release date. However, since Subterrenean Press don't ship to shops, and the Tor edition won't be out until months later, I decided this was a good way of doing it. Trying very hard not to buy any more books until I've cleared my to-read pile (which is currently at a record high of about 12 books), although my local Waterstones getting in some of Erikson's novellas hasn't helped. Only my natural frugality ("£12 for a hundred pages!?!?!?") is keeping that at bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deedles Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I was looking for Neuropath but was unable to find it. Picked up "The Gone-away World" by Nick Harkaway (looked for it in hardback but could only see the TPB) and "Small Favour" by Jim Butcher. I'm going to try and keep this months purchases down to 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
