Russian Stories (dual language book - not secondhand; I wish...)
The World According to Clarkson vol. 2: And Another Thing... (borrowed from Anwar)
Some popular science book on String Theory that I haven't yet unpacked.
Doubtless, some other books hiding around my room/in my suitcase.
As if that wasn't enough, I have a list of books that I want to read, but haven't yet got hold of. Hello, my name's tau_sigma and I'm addicted to books...
(I will, eventually, get round to talking about the June Ball. Hopefully. It was a bit great. *g*)
ETA: And lo! There were more books than I thought in the first box I unpacked:
F. David Peat - Superstrings and the Search for the Theory of Everything
Theodore Sturgeon - More Than Human
Michael Polanyi - Science, Faith and Society
a Calvin and Hobbes book
and various non-English books (Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (German), Winnie the Pooh (German), The House at Pooh Corner (Latin), The Time Machine (German), Snoopy (German), etc. etc., which I take a long time to get round to because even Winnie the Pooh in German is somewhat beyond me. But still. One day.)
