I’ve acquired a number of books this month (too many!). My haul from last weekend’s trip to The Last Bookstore and The Iliad Bookshop yielded these gems:

• Unicorn Highway by David Lee Jones
• Twisted River by Siobhan MacDonald
• The Crack in Space by Philip K. Dick
• Men and Cartoons by Jonathan Lehem
• Tamsin by Peter S. Beagle
• Mona Lisa Overdrive by William Gibson

I was especially pleased I finally got to replace my damaged/discarded copy of Tamsin, with a hardcover, no less!

From Book of the Month Club, I got:

• The Animators by Kayla Rae Whitaker
• Homesick for Another World by Ottessa Moshfegh

From Amazon I ordered:

• Universal Harvester by John Darnielle
• In Calabria by Peter S. Beagle

I definitely need to stop buying books for a while, as it’s going to take me some time to get through all of these, and I already had a pretty hefty “to-read” list. It will take some resolve to resist the pull, since I find it pretty difficult to resist buying books.
