1/6/2006 - New books
Posted in Unspecified

I know i said i wasn't going to buy any more but i'm rapidly running out of things to read and i still haven't managed to get to the library! To console myself after my hospital appointment, i accidentally went into the Oxfam bookshop :)  Here's what i got!

 

Discoveries in Fantasy - edited by Lin Carter

By the Pricking of My Thumbs - Agatha Christie (an original Penguin version)

Codex - Lev Grossman

Momo - Michael Ende (the chap that wrote the Neverending Story)

Dinner at Deviant's Palace - Tim Powers (yay!!!)

The Cabal Vols. I, II & III - Saul Dunn

The Return of the Sword - Roger Taylor (a Hawklan novel)

Best Fantasy & Horror Vol. 2 Demons & Dreams - edited by Ellen Datlow & Terri Windling

 

10 books for the princely sum of £11!!  8 paperbacks and 2 hardbacks! So that's my reading needs covered for another week :)

 

Book #4  The Glory Bus - Richard Laymon

The third book to be published posthumously after his too early death, it's classic Laymon with gore galore! A lot of people are dubious as to the origins of these 3 books but i believe that his family found many unpublished manuscripts after he died. If he had still been alive, no doubt he would have tightened up the few places in this book that were a bit below par. Here's hoping we still have a few more gems to come from the late Mr Laymon!

There are 2 Oxfam bookshops here - one in the city centre which always seems to have nothing but Grisham *grin* and one conveniently located in the hospital, which always has a really good supply of horror/fantasy/sci-fi/crime! I could easily have bought 5 times what i got yesterday but Grandad couldn't carry any more!
