toastykitten$5 for a bag of books! I got all these in half an hour and without eating any breakfast, which is a very dangerous thing for me. But I hate eating before dim sum - it totally ruins my appetite for it.
Doomsday Book, Connie Willis
The Dean's December, Saul Bellow
The Trial of Henry Kissinger, Christopher Hitchens (I normally hate Christopher Hitchens these days but I really like his writing, and this one is supposed to be one of his best works.)
City of Illusions, Ursula K. LeGuin
Triton, Samuel R. Delany
The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara: Ilse Witch, Terry Brooks
The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara: Morgawr, Terry Brooks
The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara: Antrax, Terry Brooks
Cat's Eye, Margaret Atwood (After reading all the books I got last year, I've totally fallen in love with her work.)
Chesterfield's Letters to His Son, Lord Chesterfield (I got this tiny, old book only because it looks so beautiful.)
Lady Oracle, Margaret Atwood
Possessing the Secret of Joy, Alice Walker (Walker's kind of hit or miss with me, and I think the title is too hokey, but maybe it'll be good.)
You Can't Keep a Good Woman Down, Alice Walker (The cover of this book is soooo seventies. I love it. It's a short story collection, I think.)
2001: A Space Odyssey, Arthur C. Clarke (It has the movie cover on it.)
2010: Odyssey Two, Arthur C. Clarke
Foucault's Pendulum, Umberto Eco (I wanted to get a few more of his books but they were all hardback covers and I didn't have room.)
Good Omens, Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett
Tar Baby, Toni Morrison
Priestess of Avalon, Marion Zimmer Bradley (Is this the sequel to Mists of Avalon?)
Poems, Wallace Stevens
The Bluest Eye, Toni Morrison
The Best American Short Stories, 2004, edited by Lorrie Moore & Katrina Kenison
The Catch Trap, Marion Zimmer Bradley
Best American Magazine Writing, 2001, edited by Harold M. Evans
Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair & Balanced Look at the Right, Al Franken (There were several copies of these.)
Living History, Hillary Rodham Clinton (I wonder if anyone ever mailed that dude a shoe.)
My Life, Bill Clinton (I didn't pick this one up at the library. There's some angel in Mark's apartment complex who's always leaving books out on the bench under the mailboxes. I've picked up a bunch of really good books from this person, and I always wonder why s/he throws them out. Shit, if I spent money on a hardcover - Bill Clinton's costs $35 - I certainly wouldn't toss it out. Maybe this person works in a bookstore or something and gets a huge discount.)
