Hmmm...I think I should have received mine by now! I better check up on this:confused:
 
Re: Recent Buys

I read very fast too, though I never actually calculated how fast. I tore through TDTCB. When a book drags for me, I have actually learned how to put it down and move on. I don't have the luxury of time to waste any longer.


You must have a very tan back! ;)
 
Re: Recent Buys

My biggest problem is what to buy next :confused: I have a few books I want, but have to keep to a month budget. So only able to order a few at time, and it's always the big question with me. What do I want to read next? :)
 
Re: Recent Buys

I just picked up a few books from a second hand bookstore:

Altered Carbon, Richard Morgan
The Derrida Reader
Eon, Greg Bear
A Wizard of Earthsea (I haven't been much for fantasy in years, but it's LeGuin and I have seen many favorable posts in the forums here :) )
 
Re: Recent Buys

Continuing the tradition of not having many SF/F books in English here, but when they do they are of quality I got these 3 today at a local store:

Fury by Salman Rushdie

The Door's of His Face, the Lamps of His Mouth by Roger Zelazny

The Unconsoled by Kazuo Ishiguro
 
Re: Recent Buys

Dont make any suggestions, I'll be doomed :) It's bad enough when I see recommendations, or other books that people buy and wondered what they would be like :eek: I really have to get a life:p
 
I seem to have mislaid the old thread on books we've just bought (as opposed to books we're reading) so here's a new one. If someone locates the old one, I'll combine the threads.

SO, here's my latest haul:

Samuel R Delany - Nova
James Blish - The Star Dwellers
AE van Vogt - The Silkie
Stephen King - Danse Macabre (a personal survey of the modern horror genre, highly reco'd by pal ravenus).
 
Oh, I know. I loved the part where he said that if Harlan Ellison didn't exist, it would have been necessary to invent him. I don't think I've ever read anything with more truth in it than that.:D
 
No problem now that Brian's confirmed your house is soon to become a Hostel for all AustralAsia members.... :D

Just check out his post on the Guess Who's country I'm in Now thread or whatever it was from Yesterday... :eek:
 
Not all AustalAsia members, all members even from Europe, Americas or Africa.
