Well I never got around to reading it before and it looked nice and shiny:

Also got hold of Heroes Die by MW Stover as it's constantly gotten rave reviews from a number of members of another forum :cool: Oh also Ishiguro's Remains of the Day was in the same order.


Am going to go look for some historical fiction soon. Guess I'll need to finish Chickenhawk at some point even if it seems a tad technical in places.

And all for just over £10. I heart charity shops...
 
Store had a sale on some classics soo:

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest- Ken Kesey
Pride and Prejudice- Jane Austen
Wuthering Heights- Emily Bronte

And the whole purpose of going to the book store was to get Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury but they didn't have it. So I got From the Dust Returned by Ray Bradbury instead
 
B&N:
George Pelecanos - The Turnaround
Mike Carey - Vicious Circle

And a signed copy of S. D. McKee's Defeated (Darkness Among the Stars) arrived today. :)
 
Big shoping in Paris

Sandor Marai -confession of a bourgeois(own translation)

Andrei Makine-Music of a life
-Requiem for the east(fro my father)

Mika Waltari -a stranger came to the farm

Jun Ishikawa-the faulcon

Alessandro Baricco-Silk(on the recomendation of Bartelby,desapered!)

hector Bianciotti-golden desert

Gide-l'immoraliste(re read)

Guy gavriel Kay- Tigana

A cantique for leibowitz and the day of the triffids for my Father and brother.

Most of the titles are in French and translated by me so certainly fantasist.
 
Today I bought:

A Farewell to Arms - Ernest Hemingway
The Devil's Mode - Anthony Burgess
The Hours - Michael Cunningham

And my mum got me Baking: A Commonsense Guide for me for my birthday, and so far I've racked up £45 of book tokens. Add that to what I've already got and it looks like I'm going on a Borders trip when I get back to Glasgow. :D
