eliyesToday, on the way home, the sci-fi bookstore that is never open when I'm in the area WAS OPEN and lo! did I enter into its badly-carpeted embrace.
I bought eleven books. 8D
Only one of them is for someone else. X3
Yaaaaaay!
eta: The actual books I got (not counting the gift one):
Diane Duane's Deep Wizardry, High Wizardry, and Wizard's Holiday. edit:(Still haven't found the first book, alas.) Got the first book and was pleasantly surprised to find out Kit is younger than Nita and skipping grades. :3 Somehow didn't catch that in the later stuff. Currently stuck in the early bits of High Wizardry because I'm having trouble hacking Dairine.
Chris Claremont's First Flight and Sundowner -- I already have the middle book of this trilogy. I mostly got them because I want to see how Shea met the cat-people-aliens in the first place, and also to see if there's anymore X-Men easter eggs. ;3 eta: There was a Guthrie. X3 And more Lila Cheney -- though not in the same place, sadly. The end made NO sense whatsoever.
Bruce Sterling's Heavy Weather. It's Bruce Sterling. It's weather hackers. It was half price! ;3 eta: It was actually really interesting! I may do a crossover with *coughsoemthingRictor'sincough*
Walter Jon Williams' Hard Wired, which looks like enjoyably bad neon cyberpunk. :D
James White's Final Diagnosis and Mind Changer, which both bear the subtitle "A Sector General Novel". They are one after the other, but there are nine books before them. X3 I've never seen these before! eta: Interesting! I liked FD better, I think, mostly because panicky Patient Hewlitt and his ridiculously healthy cat and the miracles... Yeah. It was like watching an episode of SGA, in a very weird way...
Lois McMaster Bujold's Miles, Mystery & Mayhem (apparently a compilation of Cetaganda, Ethan of Athos, and "Labyrinth"). I bought this because people used to always tell me that since I like Elizabeth Moon, I'd probably like this author, and I figured I might as well pick up something big enough to judge by. eta: Looks like they were right! This was really enjoyable.
Lester del Rey's Rocket Jockey. Sometimes you gotta. :3

Date: 2008-07-28 01:30 am (UTC)visions of the things to be
the pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see...
that suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.
I try to find a way to make
all our little joys relate
without that ever-present hate
but now I know that it's too late, and...
suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.
The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
so this is all I have to say.
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.
The only way to win is cheat
And lay it down before I'm beat
and to another give my seat
for that's the only painless feat.
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.
The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger...watch it grin, but...
suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.
A brave man once requested me
to answer questions that are key
is it to be or not to be
and I replied 'oh why ask me?'
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.
'Cause suicide is painless
it brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.
...and you can do the same thing if you please.
