25 May 2004 11:49 pmMade a short tour at the english book store. I wanted to get Illium for my dad, as a requested gift, but they didn't have it. So instead, I got myself a few books :
Walter Jon William's The Sundering, sequel to the Praxis, which was a nice, well written, classic Space Opera book. And I know my dad will enjoy it too.
George RR Martin's Dying of the Light, because it's been some time I wanted to try out a few of the other things Martin wrote. This one and Fevre Dream. But they actually had this one.
Some kind of urban fantasy called Storm Front, of a Dresden File cycle, recommended by the seller (who's a very nice guy I should invite to play Shadowrun one of these days) to replace my Hamilton, since I'm getting bored quickly of rereading the Anita Blake novels. (Of course I've done a lot of re-reading lately - what have you, they're quick and pleasant to read. Think chocolate.)
And Lois Mc Master Bujold's Young Miles anthology of books. I started reading the Miles book from the bibliotheque, so I do want to collect them, and those omnibus collections are excellent for that. Since I've read those novels already more times than I can remember and still enjoy them, it's sure value and will be fun to read in Original Version.
Couldn't find Kay's Last Light of the Sun either. Well, I better wait for it to come out in paper back anyway.
And lastly, today was Towel Day
Hence the icon - this is not me pretending to be all innocent and naive - for once.
