Oops...
Somethings I forgot to initially share...
In light of Borders going all-the-way-out-of business, has anyone been to a Barnes and Noble lately? Because wow, have they ever expanded their sales product line... They have games, and stuff, gifts and junk that is anything but a book; I don't fault them. Do what you gotta do to survive I guess. (MORE BARGAIN BOOKS!)
I bought three books this month; sorry... The already reviewed, The Painter of Battles by Arturo Pérez-Reverte, The Last Samurai by Helen DeWitt which shares an unfortunate title with a modest Tom Cruise movie, and The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz. They were all at four dollars or less, so it was kinda okay for me to be buying books... Kinda.
That's all. No more. I promise.
I will be interested to see your comments on "The Last Samurai" (sp?)
ReplyDeleteI see we are largely in agreement about The Painter of Battles--although I almost did roll my eyes at the end.
What haven't you read?

ReplyDeleteWell, Gormenghast, surprisingly.
