At Melbourne airport picked up:

Elves Of Cintara - Terry Brooks, will read on flight over.

Yeah, I noticed you had slowed down a bit, so I thought I'd pick up the torch.

I havent read it yet not finished with Old Man's War yet

Im looking for more though to reading Killing Floor by Lee Child cause i havent read Him/her before unlike Crais.

Speaking about Crais i loved The Watchman cause Joe Pike was a great character and i hope he has a good part in the early Cole books since i know he is his sidekick.

By the way you know of a good Robert Crais site/forums. I wonder if he is gonna write more Joke Pike novels.

Thanks for reminding about The Watchman. Have to put it on my wish list at B&N.

No, I don't know of any Crais Forums. Have you tried the Google Groups Use Nets?

I never got around to recording last Saturday's haul, so here it is:

Ira Levin - The Boys From Brazil...someone mentioned it here recently and when I saw it I had to pick it up. I've read it before, but I recall it being quite good.

Elizabeth Peters - Crocodile on the Sandbank...this is the first Amelia Peabody book, and since I'm looking to reread and collect them all, I thought I'd pick this one up for a discount (all of these came from a used book store a couple of blocks from my place).

Chelsea Quinn Yarbro - Hotel Transylvania...again, a series beginner, this time of Yarbro's Saint-Germain vampire novels (my own personal favorite vampire).

Also, a couple of days before that, I picked up new:

Michael Connelly - The Black Echo...the first in another mystery series that I've come across.

Faye Kellerman - The Garden of Eden and Other Criminal Delights...a collection of short stories and a couple of essays. Some of the stories are very good, and a few are quite funny.

Pretty interesting collections indeed.......

Thanks there for the update and recovery

cheers!!

I have read all Micheal Connelly's Harry Bosch books and The Black Echo is still in top three MC books. I hope you enjoy it.

Jasper Fforde - First Among Sequels
Ian McDonald - Brasyl

I couldn't pass up the opportunity to swing by another used book store after a work meeting. I can't read my books as fast as I buy them...

The Dosadi Experiment - Frank Herbert
Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell - Susanna Clarke
The Martian Chronicles - Ray Bradbury
American Gods - Neil Gaiman

I have 24 books on my To Be Read pile... I'd better get at it.

Not so much of a ‘haul’ but a bargain. For AU$5- I bought two books from the Dragonlance series. There is one volume of DragonlanceTales and one volume of Trail of the Black Wyrm from the Taladas Trilogy by Chris Pierson.

[Hilarious Joke]

Dragonlance! I love it! I'm too lazy to look myself; is there a Dragonlance thread somewhere or other? I would like some recommendations, almost all the Dragonlance I've read have been Weis and Hickman.

I just bought 'Interesting Times' by Terry Pratchett, and '1001 Golf Holes You Must Play Before You Die' for my dad (in Australia its father's day on sunday, don't you dare tell my dad what I got him).

[Rosemary]

I was unable to find a thread for Dragonlance, mostly discussion about the various books.

However, you might find this site worth a look. All Dragonlance books listed and with reviews etc.
Dragonfyre's Dragonlance Books

Hope you find what you are looking for.

Nice haul.
Have you read Whipping Star? Maybe it would be better to read it before you start The Dosadi Experiment.

I haven't read it. Are they related?

Coming in at over 1,400 pages I would consider it a haul- I found in the mail yesterday Fritz Leiber's The First Book of Lankhmar & The Second Book of Lankhmar, Fantasy Masterworks editions.
