Well, tell us how that goes, Amnesiac.

**lovejuice** · 07-07-2009, 07:28 AM

ahhh...that's happens to be the version I read.

**trotchky** · 07-07-2009, 11:34 PM

Not actually a purchase; I got it for free.

Yeah, I'm okay. Thanks for asking. I have some problems with drugs, but I'm not lying in a gutter or anything like that. My psychiatrist just gave me this book and told me to read it.

Just bought this:

I've read 63 pages already.

Truly fantastic. The photographs and revelatory content is utterly fascinating.

Did you know that this:

Became this:

Or that Danny De Vito was seriously considered for the role of Sallah?

**Kurosawa Fan** · 07-29-2009, 03:11 PM

Now own the entire series. I'm going to read this soon.

This was written by my best friend's brother. He does all the Lucasfilm making of books, which is a stupendously cool gig.

That would be Mr. Rinzler? I also have his Star Wars book, but have yet to read that one. Looks equally stunning.

Even though he's been dead for many years, I picked up John O'Brien's (Leaving Las Vegas author) new one Better.

^ Poor quality, but is this not the worst book cover ever? Yeesh.

What the heck kind of version is that?

**Milky Joe** · 08-10-2009, 04:21 AM

The cheap kind. The publisher is something called HarperVoyager, italics their own. Strikes me as a british young-adult type thing, which is pretty hilarious if I'm right. The back cover of it makes it seem like hard sci-fi/fantasy: Will the agents of the omniscient Valis succeed in their mission of liberation? Or will the seek-and-destroy tactic of President Ferris F. Freemont extend the mind-numbing grip of the Antagonist across the parameters of the free world? Talk about missing the point...

Not recently purchased per se but I just downloaded a torrent which includes 13,000 Science Fiction and Fantasy books. I will probably read three before the end of the year.

**ContinentalOp** · 08-11-2009, 10:28 PM

Bought it at Powell's instead of another Raymond Chandler title. I'm about 130 pages in and I find the biographical stuff related to Chandler's various careers and locales just a tad more interesting than the exploration of his relationship with his much older wife. All in all, it's a very good read so far.

**trotchky** · 08-15-2009, 05:59 AM

frisk is spectacular--so great, in fact, that i've decided to finish the rest of the george miles cycle before i read the sluts.

**D_Davis** · 08-27-2009, 02:31 AM

Finally got a copy of Alfred Bester's mainstream novel, Who He?, aka Rat Race.

Looking forward to checking this out.

**Duncan** · 08-28-2009, 01:31 AM

American Pastoral and White Noise.

**Kurosawa Fan** · 09-02-2009, 07:39 PM

Picked these both up used, but in flawless condition, for a dollar each at my library today. Of course the library didn't have anything I was looking to check out, because it's small and useless, but at least I didn't walk out empty-handed. I used to own The Professor and the Madman years ago, but loaned it to a friend before reading it and never saw it again. He now lives in Florida, so I'm pretty sure I'm not getting that one back.

**Mara** · 09-02-2009, 07:51 PM

I'm starting the Winchester book on my commute home today. Looking forward to it.

And Wonder Boys is a favorite.

**Kurosawa Fan** · 09-03-2009, 01:39 AM

Stopped at Barnes and Noble while out getting soccer stuff for my son. I have no willpower.

Winston* · 09-03-2009, 01:48 AM

That Wonder Boys cover makes it look like Michael Douglas's autobiography.

**Mysterious Dude** · 09-03-2009, 01:57 AM

Yeah, I didn't realize Michael Douglas was the star of the book, too.
