One thing about "Rules Of Prey", I'd really recommend fellow BAR's to give him a go, I found the title to be in a way, multifaceted, in more ways than O N E.

Ooh I did enjoy that one when a friend lent me it a few yrs back. A little moralistic at times but very well done.


Just acquired:
The History of the Runestaff - Michael Moorcock
Gravity's Angels - Michael Swanwick (short story collection)
Mote in God's Eye - Niven and Pournelle (one of those classics of SF that I've managed to slip by and go OOP)

Need to find a good non-fiction/ historical fiction (a la The Sunne in Splendour) about Northern Ireland and the troubles in the 60s and 70s
 
New acquisitions, bought "used" unless otherwise noted

A Monk Swimming by Malachi McCourt
The Nightingales Of Troy by Alice Fulton (new and great!, just finished reading)
A Widow For One Year by John Irving
Letters To A Young Poet by Rilke
American Slavery, American Freedon: The Ordeal of Colonial Virginia by Edmund S. Morgan (new)
Terrible Swift Sword by Bruce Catton

I buy a lot of books used because small town libraries ain't what they used to be. The exception is when a book cries out to me, "Own me, own me!", because I know I will read and re-read it, or read and pass it along (like Fulton's fabulous "Nightingales", which will be gifted and re-gifted for years, I am sure.) My personal library is now upwards of 2000 volumes, which I could never have afforded at retail prices.

The Mill on the Floss (Penguin Classics)
by George Eliot
 
Les Miserables by Victor Hugo

Escaped convict, Jean Valjean's attempts to become a respected member of the community are constantly put under threat: by his own conscience, when, owing to a case of mistaken identity, another man is arrested in his place; and by the relentless investigations of the policeman Javert.

The Last Battle, from The Chronicles of Narnia series, by C. S. Lewis. It was actually a present for my brother but I'm planning on reading the whole series eventually...
