Breakin' The Law
Well, my no book buying resolution is well and truely broken. I nipped into Waterstone's at lunchtime yesterday and as I had hoped/expected they had added Philip Reeve's Mortal Engines to their award winning children's books table and hence their 3 for 2 offer. It is a devillishly good 3 for 2; award winning books of the past twenty odd years. I had already scoped Anthony Swofford's Jarhead and David Mitchell's Ghostwritten but I had a feeling that if I was patient Mortal Engines would appear. Once I spotted it in Foyle's main window I new it was a dead cert. Looking forward to all three and I will probably review Mortal Engines (I'm currently in the middle of reviewing The Year Of Our War - I liked it somewhat less than John Clute).
Now I'm debating whether I should buy this 3,299-page, seven volume beauty. It's $100 which is doable but then it's another $57 for shipping. Have I got £75 to spent on a collectable, multi-volume treatise on violence that I know little about?
On the music front here's one for susuma, cept he's in Canada: Soundhog's remix of NERD's She Wants To Move. The only thing to bump in your spaceship this season.
