Embalmed minds, free markets.

Ordered from Amazon, alongside Einstürzende Neubauten's new album: Yukio Mishima's The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea, W.G. Sebald's The Rings of Saturn, Ruth Benedict's The Chrysanthemum and the Sword: Patterns of Japanese Culture, Blixa Bargeld's Headcleaner, Vladimir Nabokov's The Real Life of Sebastian Knight, Richard Morgan's Altered Carbon and John Coulthart's Haunter of the Dark.

Today, I stumbled into a book sale quite accidentally and came out with Philip K. Dick's A Scanner Darkly and Our Friends from Frolix 8, Paul Auster's The Brooklyn Follies, J.G. Ballard's The Kindness of Women, Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose, Martin Heidegger's The Essence of Human Freedom and Last Words: The Final Journals of William S. Burroughs, all for £20.

Oh, and I bought a collection of G.K. Chesterton's Father Brown shorts for a pound at Oxfam yesterday.

I don't think I'll be buying anything else for the rest of the month.

Well, except for the cinema.
