Today's pickups, I nearly shat myself in the aisle when I saw Land's Fanged Noumena on the shelf for $12.50. Love him or hate him, that is an insane price that I could otherwise flip and pay for the rest of the haul several times over, and Land's contributions to cyberpunkism as a legitimate branch of posthumanism are worth celebrating by anyone, even if you disagree with the author.

Other than that, a whole bunch of Weird Nonfic to keep me busy for the next few weeks.

~$87 for the whole lot, nearly half of that being Bord's Alien Animals for $30 - higher than the lowest online prices, but in very good condition. Everything else picture but not named was between $5-7 each.

When we go to the beach on vacation each year I always make a point to stop in the local bookshop. Selection and moreso price aren't great, but it's always so much fun just to look around.

Went the past week and picked up:

  • 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (Verne)
  • Secret History (Tartt)
  • Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow (Zevin)
  • And Then There Were None (Christie)
  • Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (Pirsig)
