My books, let me show you them

[debitha]

On Saturday it was cold and wet and I was mooching around town, so I swung by The Best Bookshop in the World. An hour or so later I walked out, the pleased owner of 4 shiny new books. Then I got home and was confronted by my already fairly large "To Read" pile. Oops.

I haven't been reading a lot lately - mostly surfing the internet, or entering a vegetative state. So I am going to write it out here as a motivation. Sometimes that even works. And then as I finish the books I will (well, may) tell you about them. You lucky, lucky people.


The Prince - Machiavelli (This is a small book but fairly hard going, being an academic translation of a 15th century Italian text.)
The Lies of Locke Lamora - Scott Lynch (This book is great - the depth and complexity of the world Lynch has invented is incredible, the characters are interesting. I have no idea why I haven't torn through it at breakneck speed, but I keep reading a chunk of it, putting it down, and not picking it up again for ages. Weird.)
