| Re: Book Hauls! Dont you guys have a yearly national book sale in all bookstores ? Late febraury/early March is the time for us here. This year i didnt forget. The Turnaround by George Pelecanos cost 40 kr instead of the price that is 225 kr for a new Hardcover. Second hand : Hawkwood's Voyage by Paul Kearney The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas The Angel of Pain by Brian Stableford |

| Re: Book Hauls! I've gone almost three weeks without buying a book. Well, maybe two... Trying to go three months. My to-read stacks are out of control. Sometimes I have to remind myself that I am a book reader, not a book buyer! |

The Okri I can say is good and I was wondering about Yukio Mishima, seeing that book in the shop but never having read his work before. It will be interesting to read your thoughts on that book. | |

| Re: Book Hauls! 2 more classics from Bookmooch. From the Earth to the Moon by Jules Verne and The Voyage of the Space Beagle by AE van Vogt The latter quite appropriate as we're celebrating 200 years of Darwin's birth |

Its that these days im too good finding good authors that fit so well with my taste. I havent read an author i thought was not good and not worth to read again for long time now. 10-15 new authors in a row that jumped from the library books to my book hauls. Thats not healthy for my wallet. Even when you are done with new authors for a while a favorite in your bookshelf demand new readings. Getting 3-4 PKD, a few Heinlein,C.S Forester etc | |
