Last Book You Bought
 

ahh well, they have one in the movie area - so why not.


on the weekend i took a bunch of books in for credit and got a bunch of DVDs in return as well as :

Roman by Polanski
Graham Chapman autobiography
A Burnt Out Case - Graham Greene ( i lent my own copy to someone years ago and never got it back)

Dolan's Cadillac by Stephen King & Thirteen Moons by Charles Frasier

Sandman #6 Fables and Reflections

Treasure Island, months ago

I bought the shining for about 2 dollars a couple months ago.

20.000 Leagues Under the Sea, Jules Verne

I just bought and read "Twilight" and "New Hope" by Stephanie Meyer. Vampire lite for the young adult set, but I have a daughter who wanted to read them and so I checked them out first. More romance than horror but well written for that age group. Vamp books of all kinds are my favorite, Anne Rice of course and general Vampire romance...

Noit famillar with those titles myself, but that description means I have to break out a trusty dusty recomendation:

The Saga of Darren Shan. (Cirque du Freak / Vampire's Assistant / Tunnels of Blood / Vampire Mountain / Trials of Death / The Vampire Prince / ECT.)

When I was younger (as in, like 4-5 years ago), I was absolutely obsessed with these books. "Vampire lite for the young adult set" describes them just about perfectly, loved them when I was in the age bracket. HIGHLY recomended.

The Rising by Brian Keene just came in the mail today. I hope that this book lives up to the hype.

City of the Dead by Brian Keene and The Hidden by Sarah Pinborough.

Hell's Half Acre by Will Christopher Baer.

Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud.

pretty awesome graphic novel about the "invisible art" of comics and how they work. a comic about comics.

I went to a library book sale this morning and got:

"From a Buick 8" by Stephen King (paperback)

"Relic" by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child (paperback)

"The Inhuman Condition" by Clive Barker (paperback)

And a first edition hardcover of "Man-Eaters of Kumaon" by Jim Corbett

All these for a total of $3.00. I'm a happy man.

i love library sales ...

we have one that sells more donations than actual ex-lib books .. so the donations arent stamped/defaced in any way by the library.

i made a fortune selling the ones i didnt want on ebay.

Cell---Stephen King...haven't read it yet.

Panzer Commander The Memoirs of Colonel Hans Von Luck

The Immaculate by Mark Morris

Shot By Shot.

I bought Lisey's Story for half price in WH Smith, but I haven't had a chance to read it yet..

The Town That Forgot How To Breathe by Kenneth Harvey

By Paul Gravett

Imajica book 1 bye clive barker and the drawing of the three by stephen king

just bought (and read in the same day) brian keene's City of the Dead. . . follow-up to The Rising (though, not nearly as good and very choppy ham-handed in the first 50 pages or so). . . but i loved the rising so obligatory

Put it down ..now i can't find it :o

Year's Best Fantasy and Horror 2006. Thankfully, Kelly Link hasn't included another of her own pieces. God, that chaps my ass.

Falling angel. .. couldnt find this damn thing in 20 years .. so i buy it on ebay .. only to find the paperback in a junk bin for 25 cents a few months later.

Ouch. Sorry.

I just ordered Dark Delicacies, The 17th Mammoth Book of Best New Horror, and Tom Piccirilli's A Choir of Ill Children from Amazon. Total came to like 34 bucks. I love Amazon Prime.

yeah, i dont expect it to be good ..
i'm going to sell all of his books in a sale some day and figure it might as well be a complete set.

i'll need to find an extra set of Books of Blood first though .. i'll always want a copy of those.

Justifiable Homicide by Mark osterman

The Witches of Eastwick by John Updike and Cabal by Clive Barker.
