replied on: 7/30/2006 12:43:28 PM Went to the City today, Sunday and one of the local stores was having a sale: 40% discount off all books (incl. New Releases). So, I happily picked up: System Of The World - Neal Stephenson (book 3 of the Baroque cycle). The Dante Club - Matthew Pearl (author of the intriguing Poe Shadow) Throne Of Jade - Naomi Novak (book 2 in the Temeraire series) A pretty good triumvirate at almost half the RRP I think. Hope to have Blood Knight - Greg Keyes by next week. |

replied on: 8/25/2006 1:50:11 PM Well the buying spree continues. Today happened to swing by the local bookshop near to work and bought: Torments Of The Traitor (Vol 1 Song Of The Tears) - Ian Irvine. Latest in this long running page-turner albeit not overly prose laden EPIC series. The Blade Itself - Joe Abercrombie. Book 1 of a new EPIC fantasy series. Read some reasonably good reviews across various boards on this one so thought I'd give it a go. Darker Than You Think - Jack Williamson. Part of the VG Fantasy Masterwork series. Argued to be the best known American novel on Lycanthropy (human transformation into a Wolf or Wolverine-like creature). Some interesting reading lies ahead...
