I finally finally got Iain Banks's The Algebraist in the mail. I had ordered it a couple of months ago and was wondering why it had not come. Then a few days ago I got a postcard in the mail from the place I had ordered it from - they said that the post office had contacted them telling them that their package to me was found damaged and empty.

So in their postcard to me they said they would fill my order again.

Finally the book came.

In the same package also came a science fiction novel called Mammoth by John Varley. In it, a millionaire apparently decides it would be cool to clone a mammoth. It sounded like it might be interesting, so I thought I would take a chance on it, though I am not familiar with the author.

Some Arthur Machen works I found; a 1926 edition signed by Machen of Dreads And Drolls, and the first editon of The Hill of Dreams (1907).

I'm also rounding out my Mishima Yukio collection by snagging a 1975 editon of Acts of Worship - Mishima Yukio is simply a god.

Today I also got my copies of Michael de Larrabeiti's Borribles (that Brys has been pudhing on me) collected in 700+ pages, as well as a copy of the first edition of the first book (1976)

Went on a comic (all but one Hardcover) binge off of some rec's from forum members elsewhere:

The Name of the Game by Will Eisner
Crisis on Infinite Earths (Absolute)
The World's Greatest Super-Heroes by Paul Dini, and Alex Ross
New X-Men Volume 1 by Grant Morrison,
Lucifer by Mike Carey
Powers Volume 1 by Brian Michael-Bendis,
Seven Soldiers by Grant Morrison
Runaways by Brian K. Vaughn
Fable by Bill Willingham
The Book of Ballads by Charles Vess

Wow, you got Blood Knight really early, didn't you? That isn't published until July, I believe.

Color me envious.

Today I added two novels to me endless TBR pile:

Thomas the Rhymer by Ellen Kushner, a retelling of an ancient legend

This Scepter'd Isle by Mercedes Lackey and Roberta Gellis; an alternative history of Tudor England; I thought I recognized the title in the bookstore as something that Dragonlily liked...
