 The upper half is todays haul from Book Castle. The lower half are my review copies from Marshall Cavendish.

Surprisingly enough, I didn’t buy any more books since my last post. I was wading slowly through Joseph Heller’s “Catch-22″ and John Evangelist Walsh’s “Midnight Dreary – The Mysterious Death of Edgar Allen Poe”… doing the multi-booking thing I’ve heard about. As I suspected, it was hard for anything else to hold a candle to Garth Nix’s Abhorsen Trilogy.

Right now, I’ve abandoned Yossarian and Poe for “Vanity Drive” and “Upcountry”, both proving to be quite entertaining and hilarious.

What are you reading?
