Past Month Book Purchases - EvBoard

lemonv1 · 09-03-2005, 09:04 AM

Well, following on from the success of the past month cd purchases thread, I thought it would be nice to have a thread for us bookworms

. (I believe this hasn't been done already, sorry if it has).

Anyway, here's mine:

A Game of Thrones - Book one of a Song of Fire and Ice.
The Gunslinger - Book one of the Dark Tower.

I have actually bought quite a considerable amount of books this month actually, well last month but I'll include them as well!

Well the ones I can remember.

Bridget Jones Diary The Edge of Reason
You Are What You Eat (because I'm on a diet mission)

I bought Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy last weekend. Read the first book, wasn't bad. Going to start book 2 this weekend.

I also purchased Eragon by Christopher Paolini. I've been told it's a great book. The sequel was released about a week ago.

More like two months ago...and downloaded...but yeah.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

And the book before I binged on Harry was:

The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams

I bought Yes Man by Danny Wallace a while ago. Well I say bought. My brother got it and I nicked it off him. I think he's doing a TV series at the moment where he tries to makes his flat a country. It's on the same time as lost so I never see it though.

Anyhoo, I think it's a really interesting book. The basic premise of it is he realises he's been to negative so he decides to say yes to everything. So he ends up ordering stuff off the internet, taking leaflets from everyone, going to spain. If you like books by Dave Gorman you'll prbably like this too.

Hmm...interesting...

Thus far, including august:

The Fuck-Up by Arthur Neressian- s'pretty funny and good too!

The Horla by Guy de Maupassant- This is a series of three short stories comprising the characters descent into madness. Interesting because not long after the author himself was admitted to a mental asylum

Thats about it, am going to Barnes and Noble later...see what I can find. I need to get the new Orson Scott Card book, and I cant wait for Neil Gaimans new one.

I bought it after reading about it here. I haven't finished it yet, but so far it's very good.
