Wishlist

[Marky Lazer]

It's quite interesting to read the Book Haul thread (http://www.chronicles-network.com/fo...ook-hauls.html), but what about the books we want to haul, but didn't haul yet? Well, this section is about them...

Pagan's Crusade - Catherine Jinks
White Noise - Don DeLillo
The Immortals - James Gunn
The Fast Red Road- Steven Graham Jones
Holes - Louis Sachar
Valley of the Dolls - Jacqueline Susann
Imperial Spy - Some Guy
The World According to Garp - John Irving
Alice in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll
1984 - George Orwell

That's my wishlist, and probably the future book haul...

I'm not even going try and think of all the books on my wish list....it's far to long

[Marky Lazer]

This isn't my complete wishlist! Just the ones I think about going to get next

[polymath]

There aren't too many, to be honest. I tend to go along the lines of authors whose books I always buy. If I start to read a book in the sci-fi or fantasy genres, it had better be good. I've got no time for derivative or badly-written stuff, I'm fairly demanding because it's my favourite type. I'm a lot less of a stickler with other genres like spy-thriller secret agent stuff, don't ask me why, because I don't know.

Having said that, I think I'd most like to get hold of the 100 Bullets graphic novel series, which I've heard very good things about.

BTW Marky, if you haven't already read it, 1984 is easily the top of your list.

I've read it already, but don't own a copy.

I generally buy something if I want it thus I'm afraid my wish list (excluding forthcoming books of course) is slim to non-existant. There are some vintage copies (I collect books) that I'm always interested in but I can't say I specificaly target something, I generally on a whim decide to look for such copies and do a little comparison shopping and just buy it.

I can say that I can't wait for Jeffrey Ford's Empire of Ice Cream to get here!

I have a huge to-read pile, consequently my wish list is mainly non-existant too. But these days, due to dithyrambic comments of a friend, one book moved to what approaches more a wish list : Spin by Robert Charles Wilson.

So many to list, so many I need a bank loan!

[Brys]

Far too many, as my amazon wishlist shows:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/registry/...=344P528NDZDR7

A few notable ones:
Blindness - Jose Saramago
Boy in Darkness - Mervyn Peake
Jerusalem Quartet - Edward Whittemore
The Last Coin - James P Blaylock
Roadside Picnic - Strugatsky
To your Scattered Bodies Go - Philip Jose Farmer

[Thadlerian]

Anything by Steven Erikson. Or Michael Moorcock's fantasy series.

Brilliant book, Marky.

I don't have a wishlist; it'd be too depressing.

[Teresa Edgerton]

A wishlist would suggest a degree of patience I do not possess.

When I really want a book, I can't rest until I track it down, trap it, and drag it back to my cave.

[kyektulu]

I would like to own both the Mallorean and Belgariad series'... I have read them but dont own them... yet.

There is also loads of other books I would like, to many to say individually at this time of night but Kelpies and Mark Robinsons books are on my list.

Well, see, that's what I meant by depressing. If I kept a list of books I want, I would want to spend all my time tracking those books down and, as you say, Kelpie, capturing them and then devouring them. Not being able to do that would be too depressing, so I just don't keep the list.
