I got an ARC of Servant of a Dark God by John Brown, but that's the only thing this month. *NM* Bryce Send a noteboard - 29/09/2009 08:29:35 AM
There used to be a regular post on OF (often Announced, before abandoned earlier this year) for readers to post lists of books they recently bought or received. I think it'd be a nice thing to bring back, especially with the Christmas season coming in a few months, as perhaps something on one person's list will encourage another to purchase/acquire that book. While I usually post mine in picture form on the OF Blog, I'll copy/paste the list here. Feel free to share books that you've purchased/received recently:

Maya Angelou, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

Jaime Martínez Tolentino, Cuentos Fantásticos

Gabriel García Márquez, Olhos de Cão Azul

Camilo José Cela, Los vasos comunicantes

Italo Calvino, The Path to the Spiders' Nests

Hayo Miyazaki, Nausicaä: Of the Valley of the Wind

J.M. Coetzee, Elizabeth Costello

Salman Rushdie, Haroun and the Sea of Stories

Salman Rushdie, Midnight's Children

Samuel Delany, Neveryóna

Robert Holdstock, Lavondyss

Don DeLillo, Cosmopolis

Nadine Gordimer, A Guest of Honour

Scott Mills, Big Clay Pot

Mary Doria Russell, A Thread of Grace
