What is Your Current Wish List?
  • I have to look up a bunch of these ones. Gaiman is excellent and the Ocean book is good but not his best. Mistborn is simply outstanding though and I devoured them. Hail Mary I know about and want it on sale. I don’t recognize the rest.

    What is Your Current Wish List?
  • I read those 25 years ago. I gotta say, I was a rather underwhelmed but by all means read Book 1 and form your own view.

  • Currently, I have the following books on my wish list that I am thinking about buying.

    Salvation by Peter Hamilton. I have read everything he has published except his short stories and love them so this is next on my to-read list.

    Soon I Will Be Invincible by Austin Grossman. Seems kinda cool.

    Seven Deadly Wonders by Matthew Reilly. It seems like a book in a similar vein as Jurassic Park, Dan Brown, Clive Cussler type stuff.

    Pernasi By Susanna Clarke. I read her first book nearly 20 years ago and thought it was good. I really like creative sci-fi stuff. I am re-reading the Ninefox Gambit series again currently so this seems right up my alley.

    Brandon Sanderson Way of Kings Book 3. Yeah, I probably need to start with Book 1 again and catch up. Has anyone read his Secret Books yet?

    Do any science fiction book subscriptions exist anymore with reasonably good quality books? About 10 years ago I was able to subscribe to a year of Angry Robot books for about $120 or $150. It wasn’t a bad deal as I remember I got about 24 books for the price.

    Just finished Batman: White Knight...what Batman comics are you all reading?
  • I just finished that one as well. I thought it was good but not good enough to commit to reading the second White Knight book. I thought Batman Hush Batman Universe, and Batman RIP were much better.

    Harlan Ellison Books
  • Excellent advice. I will review the site!

    I go back and forth on digital, but if it is cheaper than paper in this case, maybe it makes sense if I can find the right collections.

    Harlan Ellison Books
  • The local used book store just closed. I will have to travel out a bit further.

    The 35-year retrospective is excellent but not portable for the commute.

    Maybe a road trip is needed or some careful hunting on eBay.

  • Harlan Ellison Books

    What is the best way to acquire readable copies of Ellison’s short stories?

    Amazon prices look extremely high at hundreds of dollars per copy. By readable, I mean books with font sizes larger than size 6 so a probably editions published after 1990. Is there a better name for these readable non-1970s editions?

    eBay and thrift books are also good alternatives.

    I guess I am surprised prices are so high but I guess many of his books are out of print.

    Have you recieved any books as presents for Christmas - or any other reason just lately? If so, tell us about them.
  • I bought my son 5 different Batman books and we have been reading them together. Lots of fun. I also finally bought Completely Mad (a history of Mad magazine) after wanting to read it for several years so that is on its way.
