Is this the actual 1910 edition?

Is this the actual 1910 edition?

Yes, I think so -- but that was a revised edition from an earlier version. The latter was reprinted in paperback a while ago with an intro by Larry McMurtry, who cared it to Twain's Roughing It and other books. I read that version around 25-30 years ago and liked it a lot. The pictured edition was a library discard, a freebie. I picked up some other books too but this one seems the most photogenic. The cat is Martha.

Another mail call, another big book.

Tent life in Siberia must be verrrry cold. I'm sure the cat does not approve!

Isak Dinesen!?

Isak Dinesen!?

"The Uncertain Heiress." I haven't gotten to it yet -- enjoyable reading, but a lot of one subject -- so it's anyone's guess whether JtR is front and center or incidental.

I'd be curious to know!

I found this beauty in a used bookshop in Ljubliana. Purchased for aesthetic reasons. I do not understand the language, possibly Slovenian.

Audio books of Redemption Ark and Absolution Gap by Alistair Reynolds.

There were a few books on Amazon that were too good a price to ignore.

Star Wars: Rising Storm (book 2 of the High Republic) by Cavan Scott. I've not really got any interest in this, but it is Star Wars and it was £1, so i bought it. (I know, it's a sickness. )



The Fifth Elephant by Sir Terry Pratchett.



I've been slowly collecting the Discoworld books as they appear for £1 or £2. I intend to re-read them once i have them all.

Aliens: Phalanx by Scott Sigler.

I've been curious about thye new Aliens books and am interested to see how they compare to the Steve Perry ones i read in the nineties.



Tales of Dune: The expanded edition



I know i'm going to be lambasted for this, but i always has a soft spot for the Dune sequel books. They're not great, but the do pass the time. Great cover.

A library discard.

Reminding me of Dickens’s Edmund Drood.
