[Fantasy Moon]

Homer's Odyssey by Gwen Cooper
Arafel's Saga by C.J. Cherryh

The latter book was on a table by the door marked for one dollar. I went in for the former book and it wasn't in it's usual place with the other animal books. Then I turned around and it was on a display table behind me. So I was pleased.

I must really be horror deprived if I'm getting this excited about having all these books on my shelves! Must be too much fantasy and historical fiction.

I got the following from Book Depository recently:

* Wizardry and Wild Romance, Michael Moorcock - (Non-fiction) Treatise on fantasy by a fantasy grandmaster.

* Fantasy Writer's Assistant, Jeffrey Ford - (I have no idea what this is) Recommended highly by an author I respect.

Buffalo Airways

After watching ICE PILOTS NWT on the history channel, I purchased a copy of "Buffalo Airways - Diamonds, DC-3s and 'Buffalo Joe' McBryan" by Canadian author Darrell Knight.

The book was written by an insider "ex-pat" from Buffalo Joe's unorthodox DC-3 airline...fairly interesting and well-written (so far), for an unknown author.

Reading the third in the pride prejudice and zombies series... decent so far...
