Book Hauls!

i bought yesterday seven new books from an online book shop and it cost me 45lei (about 11 euro). a big romanian sf editorial group sells its books for 1,2 and 2,4 euro and i couldn't refuse it. the books are:
Roger Zelazny- "Lord of Light"
Ursula K.Le Guin - "Rocannon's World" and "The Left Hand of the "Darkness
John Brunner - "The Long Result"
Philip K.Dick - "The Man In the High Castle", "Ubik" and "Minority Report"
living in romania can be so good!
 
I just bought Battle Royale by Koushun Takami. Been meaning to get it for a while now.
 
The First Quarry by Max Allan Collins. Its a Hard Case Crime book that is perfect cause its very cheap when you want new Hardboiled crime.
 
Hmmm.....:rolleyes:;)

Well also courtesy of the cat, I received:

The Janissary Tree - Jason Goodwin
The End Of Mr Y - Scarlett Thomas

J.D: Speaking of Carlos Fuentes, make sure you try to get a copy of his massive masterpiece Terra Nostra, considered the greatest Latin American novel of the 21st Century. I'm yet to read it but am looking forward to sinking my teeth into it.
 
I got today:

The Hero Of Downways by Michael Coney
The Genocides by Thomas Disch
The City, Not Long After by Pat Murphy

I'm pretty much just buying stuff recommended on here :)

That's a good book. If you like it at all and if you like short fiction at all, I definitely recommend her collection, Points of Departure. That's my favorite book of hers, though City is runner up so far.
 
I enjoy short fiction pretty much more than anything else. So I will definitely have to give that a try. Thanks for the head up :)
 
Half price day at the city library Labor Day booksale. Magazines: 6 for a dollar; paperbacks: twenty five cents each. Four dollars got me 21 F&SFs scattered throughout the '90s along with Fred Saberhagen's BESERKER (first edition Ballantine) and 2012 by Whitley Strieber (Tor Books).
 
I stumbled across a great used book shop while rounding up furniture for my new apartment, and grabbed:

Jeffrey Eugenides- Middlesex
Aldous Huxley- Brave New World
John Irving- Prayer for Owen Meany
Beowulf- Seamus Heaney translation
Micheal Crichton- Sphere
Leon Uris- Trinity
Shakespeare- Four Tragedies (Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello, King Lear)
 
Those volunteer seniors at the booksale are a sneaky lot. Went back to get a book I passed on earlier and 19 more F&SFs magically appeared on the sf table. So in addition to those I also got A HISTORY OF WESTERN MUSIC by Donald Jay Grout and Claude V. Palisca (hb, 50 cents) and RIPTIDE by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child (near mint pb, 25 cents).
 
The Killing of the Tinkers by Ken Bruen
Naming of Beasts by Mike Carey
Orbus by Neal Asher

Even though i'm itching to read the top two i'm going to save them for my holiday in just over a weeks time so I can really enjoy them in peace..

I've got a Jeeves omnibus and the entire BBC production of the series they did based upon their misadventures on DVD.

Perfect casting there...Fry and Laurie make an almost perfect pairing as Wooster and Jeeves.

Mind you, I'm in awe of Hugh Laurie's ability - Bertie and House are such different characters to be played by one actor.
