(I should sheepishly mention here that my to-be-read pile keeps expanding. It was originally one bookcase, and now there are at least a couple of hundred books piled on top of that tall case. And all of the classics I haven't read are in the front of ten shelves on another bookshelf. And there's the original overflow, read-it-immediately pile. And, most recently, there's two shelves of even more overflow, read-it-immediately stuff. But now those shelves are full, so there's a pile on the shelf above them. I need to either read faster or acquire books slower.)
Recently arrived in La Casa de Hornswoggler:
- from today's trip to the comics store: PvP: The Dork Ages, Powers Vol. 5: Anarchy, and Fables Vol. 8: Wolves
- an order from Amazon UK: Alastair Reynolds's other new collection, Galactic North, and the Ankh-Morpork Post Office Handbook/Discworld Diary 2007
- and the usual mass of things from the office, one way or another: the big new Neal Gabler Walt Disney biography, Joan Didion's We Tell Ourselves Stories In Order to Live, Never Mind the Pollacks by Neal Pollack (which I avoided buying for a couple of years now, but just found on a giveaway shelf), the new Robert Fagles translation of The Aeneid, another Will Eisner omnibus, Will Eisner's New York, and a couple of other odds and ends.
