As mentioned in my previous post, for as many bookstores as
- The Courts of Chaos by Roger Zelazny. The last of the Amber series titles I didn't have in an individual edition, enabling me to read the series again without the plethora of typos and errors in The Great Book of Amber.
- Damnation Alley by Roger Zelazny. I've never read the book version of his cinematic claim to fame. Now I can.
- Creatures of Light and Darkness by Roger Zelazny. Hadn't heard of it. Looked interesting. "The classic novel of the final conflict between the gods of life and death - millennia in the future!" - from the cover blurb.
- The Last Defender of Camelot by Roger Zelazny.
semperfiona had given me a copy of a recent short story collection with the same title, but she also told me that title had been used for a different, older collection. I found a copy of the older one. - 3001: The Final Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke. I thought it might be worth a look for the used paperback price. I've read the previous three.
- Being a Green Mother by Piers Anthony. When I saw this one, I realized I never got this far in his Incarnations of Immortality series, and it looked cool.
- Burnt Offerings by Laurell K. Hamilton. One of the Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter series I didn't have yet, and the only one I found other than one copy of Guilty Pleasures.
- The Darkest Road by Guy Gavriel Kay. The last part of The Fionavar Tapestry series. I now have all three.
- The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham. Another classic I've missed in book form.
One thing I noticed in the used stores was a complete absence of anything by Lois McMaster Bujold. People in the SF Bay area either don't give her titles up, or they get snatched up immediately. I also picked up two titles at The Charles M. Schulz Museum:
- It's Back to School Charlie Brown
- Tribute to Sparky: Cartoon Artists Honor Charles M. Schulz by the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center Staff. This contains all the tribute strips from other cartoonists when Schulz retired and then when he died. It's essentially a catalog of the exhibits on the same topic, the first of which
computerchix and I saw last October.
So my reading list gets even longer... :-)
