Library (again)
Yellow
Another weekend visit to the library, this time I got three books out and bought a fourth from the booksale.
I took the George RR Martin edited short story anthology back as I never developed the will to read it.
This time round I borrowed:
Shopping Cart Soldiers by John Mulligan, which sounds like a very interesting take on the Vietman experience.
Thorns by Robert Silverberg, which I got because it’s in Gollancz yellow and I’ve not read any Silverberg in ages. I find Silverberg is either excellent or totally forgettable.
Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, which I had gotten half way through a month or so back, I was going to get it out again but got distracted at the counter and just handed it back in.
And I bought:
Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger by Stephen King, which is the first part of a fantasy sequence. I got it because:
i) it was only 30p
ii) the storyline feeds into The Black House by King and Straub, which is a sequel to The Talisman, and I want to have a clue about the references that book makes when I actually get round to reading it.
iii) it’s the right size for reading on the train.
I almost started reading Winter’s Heart by Robert Jordan on Friday night. Luckily I stopped myself in time.
