Re: Book Hauls!

Single volume edition of The Fionavar Tapestry by Guy Gavriel Kay. I've heard of the series but never tried it, and since it was a dollar at the library book sale, I figured now was a good time to pick it up!

Re: Book Hauls!

In replying to Hoopy's post about the Danby, I realized that my own copies had gone where the woodbine twineth (or somesuch), so went ahead and ordered three out of the four. Today, I received two of them:

65 Great Spine-Chillers
65 Great Tales of the Supernatural

Re: Book Hauls!

As I mentioned in the December What Are You Reading thread, there were a couple of books I wanted to buy with the money for Christmas from my dad. Thus, I've just ordered from Amazon ('cos it was cheaper than from Waterstones!):

The Dark Tower - The Complete Concordance.
The Gunslinger Born graphic novel.

Re: Book Hauls!

I got a gift certificate, for a book shop, for Christmas and today I spent it. It got me 3 Norwegian books, which I won't bore you with my attempt to translate the titles of, Unweaving the Rainbow by Richard Dawkins and Labyrinth by Kate Mosse.

All in paperback to get more books for the bucks. I've banned myself from spending money on books until I get a job, so getting this gift certificate was wonderful and I spent hours picking out the books I wanted.

Re: Book Hauls!

"Slan" rocks! I've just acquired "Tales of Known Space" by Larry Niven (I'm on kind of a hard SF riff right now) and "Lies, Inc" by PKD. It will be cool to read this with the restored pages.
