Re: Book Hauls!
It was actually on Tuesday that I got these, but I forgot to post then:
A Scanner Darkly - Philip K Dick
The Man in the High Castle - Philip K Dick
The Forever War - Joe Haldeman

I had been hoping to get A Feast for Crows, but they didn't have it at the bookshop. Not that I didn't have an agonising decision - they also had Vellum, but that was more expensive than any two of the ones I bought.

What's with Vellum? I've seen it mentioned about the place, but not heard anything about it....

The best SFF book of 2005 in my mind - and you heard it here first (literally).

Re: Book Hauls!
Today I picked up:

Tad Williams - The Dragonbone Chair
JV Jones - A Cavern of black ice
Greg Keyes - Newtons Cannon

Will not be buying anymore books for a good while! My 'to read' pile is getting a bit silly now!

Cavern of Black Ice is on my list of ones 'to get'...though if I got all the ones I wanted I don't think I would be able to open the front door. There are just so many books out there to choose from...where do we stop?

If I'd known that maybe I wouldn't have recommended anything....

I'm in the same situation, have about 15 large sized books to read so I'm not buying anything else until next year....
