Recently Purchased/Borrowed

Just got _The Devil Wears Prada_ by Lauren Weisberger for my wife. Stole a read for a couple of pages - even the dedication page made me laugh!

I love Pratchett. He's the only author who is able to consistently brighten up an otherwise crappy day for me. And Thief of Time is one of my my top 5 favs from him. A little bit more convoluted than the Pratchett norm, I felt, but absolutely brilliant because of it.

I recently purchased Ian McEwan's Atonement and Adair's The Holy Innocents (both $5 steals), which I just completed.

I don't like you. I wish I could pick up tons of books at one go too. But alas, not on my niggardly salary :( :p
 
:eek: dont hate me , its not my fault I work too much and dont have time to go shopping like normal people... its kinda sad i have to use amazon

i like terry pratchette too, i think i've got 4 or 5 of his books but have only read 3 so far.
 
Had to some MORE Crimbo shopping today. I was in Borders book shop buying books for presents. I promised myself I wouldn't buy any more books for myself because my shelf is already creaking and I have spent quite enough money... but you know how it is, right? :D

I was being good.

It was going very well.

I resisted temptation after sweet temptation!

And then.... I. Saw. This. and. HOW COULD I NOT?????????

  • China Mieville's 'Perdido Street Station'
  • Jonathan Swift's 'Gulliver's Travels'

I don't hate you, I just envy you to bits. But at least now I know what my problem is. Have to get me a job that doesn't allow me to go shopping, LOL!

Have a friend that doesn't like reading. But I gave her a copy of Wyrd Sisters to read during her 7 hour flight and she said that she laughed so loud, the person beside her told her to keep it down because her laughter kept on waking him. She doesn't read anything else but Pratchette now. :D

Just purchased Quarantine by Jim Crace (which I am reading now) and E. M. Forster's Room with a View. Both 2nd hand book store purchases, though. Amazon remains the mistress I cannot afford. :rolleyes:

:D That's quite a big book huh! I liked it :)
My five; Andy McNab's 'Deep Black' read em all and Nick Stone's my hero. STEPHEN KING The Dark Tower VII, .. The end of it all. What will I do. On second thoughts don't answer that! Jack Higgins 'A Season in Hell' a great oldie, and..Has anyone read Clive Barker 'Coldheart Canyon'!!! :eek: It was advertised as a Hollywood ghost story, must be the only book I never finished... That is one sick puppy!!!
 
Hehe, yeah I love Amazon, Mr. Wabbit. I didn't used to though, until I discovered the New & Used bit, and the free postage for over £20 (£19 now). But... I still get my books at their main store, to get the free postage, because you can pay quite a bit on postage for books on there. I get my CDs and DVDs from the New & Used section. You recommended at least two of those to me though. Cheers dude!

AquaBlue, I bought two of those books (as you know) and I was thinking about buying Fahrenheit 451 aswell! But I didn't because I thought it was pretty expensive for the length of it. We must have a pretty similar taste in books! I haven't read any Stephen King though.
