After breakfast this morning, Wonderfulwif, heir #3, and
I went 'a huntin.
Yard sales and thrift stores.....
They hunt what they want, and I hunted books.
The haul for the morning, not counting an excellent breakfast with copious coffee:
'Northworld' by David Drake
'Rocks and Minerals' field guide
'An Armory of Swords' collection edited by Fred Saberhagen
'Fortunes Stroke' by Eric Flint and David Drake
'My War Gone By, I miss It So' by Anthony Loyd
'The Sagas of Icelanders' (gleaned from history and legend)
and 'Settling Accounts: Return Engagement' by Harry Turtledove
I have never read Turtledove before, and figured it's time to give him a try.
Field guides? Who can have enough? Icelandic Sagas.... another 'who can resist' book. 'My War' is a soldiers story from the Baltic wars, of which I understand little. I'd like to know more. David Drake, always good for a rainy Sunday afternoon.
All in all, a nice stack for $12.
As soon as I finish 'Man-Kzin Wars XI' I'll start either 'My War' or the sagas, or both.
Tomorrow.... tomorrow.... my eyes will hurt tomorroooowww...
