A Kindle buying splurge this morning! :eek:

We by Yevgeny Zamyatin.

Clarissa by Samuel Richardson.

The Ayesha Series by H. Rider Haggard.

. . . and there I had to use my one hand to remove my other hand forcibly from the keyboard. The temptation to continue was almost irresistible. :sad:
 
The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes, this year's Booker winner. Same title as an earlier book of literary criticism by Frank Kermode. I'm going for the minor accomplishment of reading back-to-back two different books with the same title. Woo-hoo! :cool:
 
I went to a book sale earlier in the day. Here were my findings:

The Family (Mario Puzo)
Family (Micol Ostow)
White as Snow (Tanith Lee)
Lucky Jim (Kingsley Amis)
Pillars of the Earth (Ken Follett)
Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About (Mil Millington)
Under the Skin (Michel Faber)
 
Revan came... I'm excited for this one. Reviews so far aren't great for it though... probably because people have very high expectations for it.
