 . It'd the same with the Roadkill book by Thurman. I've read the first 3, and have the latest 2 waiting. | |

| Re: Book Hauls! (As noted before, I don't often have "hauls", usually more like snags....) Picked up Tad Williams' Shadowrise, but will probably have to literally pick up the first two books and read them again to remember what was happening in the story! |

| Re: Book Hauls! Had a bit of haul these days. Found an old man with a bookshop, in the looses sense of the word, on the side of the road so I stopped by. Got really cheap: Stanislaw Lem - 'Solaris John Brunner - couple of books, I'm too lazy right now to find the original titles Aldous Huxley - 'Point Counter Point' Also, my roommate surprised me yesterday with an advanced birthday gift: Robert A. Heinlein - 'Starship troopers', a book he's been raging on about since the first year of highschool. |

| Re: Book Hauls! The Rediscovery Of Man - Cordwainer Smith Flowers For Algernon - Daniel Keyes Earth Abides - George R. Stewart The Sirens Of Titan - Kurt Vonnegut Last And First Men - Olaf Strapledon Stand On Zanzibar - Jon Brunner The Fifth Head Of Cerberus - Gene Wolfe The Demolished Man - Alfred Bester The Book Of Skulls - Robert Silverberg This was actually a few months ago but after complaining about how hard it was to find SF Masterworks books I logged onto eBay and found nine of them for an absolute bargin about 10 minutes down the road. I already had four of them so I've passed them onto a friend who I've got into reading SF and now I have over half of the collection  . |
