I Just Bought... SF Remix Volume 3

[heretics fork]

Just ordered Cordelia's Honor, The Crying of Lot 49 and The Best of Gene Wolfe.

[Loerwyn]

Supposedly the last two books I'll buy this month:

The Honor of the Queen - David Weber
Mass Effect: Deception (Unconfirmed title) - William C. Dietz (Pre-order from TBD)

[spaziocain]

I was just the winning bidder on a first edition hardback copy of Pump Six and Other Stories by Paolo Bacigalupi. The book is described as "like new" and I got it for $62.07US (roughly $58AUS). I've seen the same edition going for a couple of hundred bucks or more so I think this was a bargain, but I'll only know for sure once I get my hands on the book and see what condition it is in. This will look good next to my first edition hardback of The Windup Girl.

In a fantasy-centric package from Amazon I also got:

Blackout by Connie Willis...gonna double dip and do both the Fantasy AND SF book club discussions for May!

[Loerwyn]

Dune by Frank Herbert

[Chuffalump]

Gridlinked by Neal Asher.

I'm slowly building up my collection of the Polity based series. Even though I've already read them.

I just ordered Hull Zero Three by Greg Bear from The Book Depository (UK).

Also just picked up Dune by Frank Herbert (for 50p from a sale). I've started it and like it a lot so far. I am finishing The Naked God at the moment by Peter F Hamilton, and I can't help but keep thinking, if you can get Dune from 500 pages, was the 3600 pages of Night's Dawn really worth the effort?

Zima Blue - Alistair Reynolds
The Lost Fleet: Fearless (I think. #2, anyway) - Uh... I forget

[Rob B]

As a correlation to my post in the fantasy version of this thread, I dropped off a bunch of paperbacks at the local Half Price books and traded them in for the following books.

• A Canticle for Liebowitz by Walter M. Miller
• Dorsai! by Gordon R. Dickson
• Hell Hath No Fury by David Weber & Linda Evans
• The Giants Novels (a mass-market paperback omnibus of Inherit the Stars, The Gentle Giants of Ganymede, and Giants' Star) by James P. Hogan
• The Boat of a Million Years by Poul Anderson
• Three Books by Elizabeth Moon: The Speed of the Dark, Trading in Danger, and Marque and Reprisal

[Loerwyn]

Recently bought:

Ciaphas Cain: Hero of the Imperium - Sandy Mitchell
Ciaphas Cain: Defender of the Imperium - Sandy Mitchell

I just ordered four books from Amazon.co.uk, taking advantage of FREE Super Saver Delivery:

• Pandora's Star by Peter F. Hamilton
• Judas Unchained by Peter F. Hamilton

and two fantasy books.

[Loerwyn]

Moxyland - Lauren Beukes
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay - Michael Chabon (I think it's SF, could be wrong)

[Ropie]

The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay - Michael Chabon (I think it's SF, could be wrong)

It's not really SF - the closest it comes as I recall is that there are elements of magic. It's a good read though with excellent characterization and I liked it a bit more than The Yiddish Policemen's Union.

edit - I see it's also slated as a movie release for 2012...

[Loerwyn]

You're right, Ropie. I'll likely discuss it in the 'Non-Genre' topic once I get around to it.

Completely forgot about this:
Trading in Danger - Elizabeth Moon

And I've also placed an order for:
Engines of the Apocalypse - Mike Wild (I guess it's SF, could be wrong as I was above).
