jon_chaissonB&N stop today, bought a book I had a few years ago and for some reason didn't bring with when I moved down to NJ, Roger Zelazny's Great Book of Amber: the Complete Chronicles. I remember really liking this book when I first picked it up (I think at Toadstool up in Keene NH) and almost completely forgot about it until I saw someone with a copy of it at work when I was on the 5th floor...good to have it again! :)
There were a few other books out there that looked interesting, but just didn't quite grab me...well, there's that, and the fact that there's pretty much a glut of "vampire hunter" stories out there right now. Not exactly good for my Love Like Blood (which isn't so much about vampire hunting as it is about making sure friends don't act like idiots ;) ), but I digress...I guess I just go through moods. Still...like my current bout of music collecting, I've been picking up and reading older books I should have read ages ago, such as Le Morte d'Arthur and so on. It's kind of fun going retro on books as well, come to think of it. Kind of like catching up on books I was too lazy to read in high school and college! :p
Of course, I also have the big pile of books I downloaded from Project Gutenberg awhile back that I should read as well...not sure when, but I'll get to them soon enough. Kind of cool that I can get a hold of these online, though, and not have to clutter up our bookcases!
Ah, books...so many of them, so little time... :p
