I need to spend more time reading and less time buying books

Dec 02, 2006 22:10

You know how I already have too many books to read and on my shelves, right? So what I needed was obviously more books.

Today's haul:

George R.R. Martin's Fevre Dream.

Monique Truong's The Book of Salt, translated into Norwegian (Boken om salt).

Thore Hansen's Skogland - samlede fortellinger (Woodland - collected stories, not translated into English, I think. Also, not able to find any nifty linkage for it).

Juliet E. McKenna's Eastern Tide, the fourth book in her The Aldabreshin Compass. Started devouring that one at once.

Also got a nice pack of bookmarks. It's actually a sort of 2007 calendar, with a new bookmark for each month, but I don't think I'll use it as intended. I'll just rip out all of the bookmarks and start forgetting them in books right away.

I have about two dozen lovely magnetic bookmarks, perfect for The Book in the Bag. I forget them in books I finish or abandon, too, same as with ordinary bookmarks. Currently I know the location of one of them. Maybe I should do a shakedown in the shelves.
