Book Hauls!

[dask]

For some forgotten reason I stopped buying Steve Ditko’s Beware The Creeper with the fifth issue. While I’m no longer crazy buying comics I found a very affordable copy of No. 6 on eBay and couldn’t pass it up. Now after five decades I finally have the complete short-lived series.

Couple from a charity shop yesterday.
The Dickens has illustrations and an appendix at the back with explanations of some of the useage.
Very useful.

Picked up this today in a charity shop. I like his show House of Games and thought I could give this a go sometime. A bunch of old folks meet up on Thursdays and set about solving crimes...

I've heard his books are quite good.

History, criticism, poetry, and a poet’s stories for children.

Every once in a while a new book comes along that catches my eye. This one finally appeared on the library sale shelf by all appearances new and unread. $3.

Another book sale, another discovery:

I keep buying new books, but I have found that I am rereading books I read when I was too young to really appreciate them.
At the moment I am going back through Isaac Asimov's books and what a wonderful delight they are.
BTW, Richard Osman's books are great reads.

Quite a lot of decent books for 99 pence on Amazon today.

The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula Le Guin.

I still haven't read any of Le Guin's work, but i read so much greatness about her.

Philip K. Dick, Ubik



Octavia Butler, Kindred



Again, i've not read any Butler, but i read a lot about her. Besides, i don't read too many female authors so hopefully having more in my library will encourage me to.

The Fall of Hyperion.



Clive Barker's Weaveworld.



I adore this book and will try and re-read it this year.



I've read this already back in the nineties and I really enjoyed it. Not as good as Hyperion, it is still a great read and a worthy successor. I'll probably do what i'm doing with the Horus Heresy and Discword series. But them at 99p and once i have them all, go for a re-read.

Some time ago we went to a Barnes and Nobel bookstore, something we do once every several years. My intellectual better half got a bunch of nonfiction as well as Samuel R. Delany's famously difficult novel Dhalgren (1975) which I read in college.

For myself, I got two SF books.

How Long 'til Black Future Month? (2018), collection of stories by N. K. Jemisin from 2007 to 2017, with a few pieces new to the book.

Far Out: Recent Queer Science Fiction and Fantasy (2012), edited by Paula Guran, containing stories from various authors from 2011 to 2017.

Star Wars: Cataclysm from The High Republic series.



Guess i forgot to cancel my pre-orders.

Thank you for sharing this. I don’t have any of the bottom eight. Looks like a good book to keep an eye open for.
