Nice.
A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.
There's logic in nonsense.
Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.
Niel Gaiman, Orson Scott Card, Chuck Palahniuk of course, HG Wells, Ray Bradbury is a good start. Oh and Michael Crichton
"As for gunslingers, Roland," Cuthbert says, "I am here. And we are the last."
When two fit, it makes you think
I got the cute one, my woman
She says, "Lovin's all I bring"
And it's her loving that's a wonderful thing.
Lovin' yes we are, it's such a wonderful thing
When two fit it makes you think
See us both in the black
She lays on me so relaxed.

I'm actually pretty geeked up on this one. Yesterday I received a personalized advance reader's copy of Gaiman's The Graveyard Book. This was a surprise gift by a publisher. It's release date isn't until October.

Congratulations, Geoff! A great acquisition!
John

Geoff
Congratulations.
This is my "Now We Are Six" (Poetry)
By A.A. Milne (Author of children's books Winnie-the-Pooh)
Illustrated by E. H. Shepard (The original illustrator of the Winnie-the-Pooh books)
It was published in 1927.
Very, very nice, Artan!
John
Nice book, artan.
interesting pickup artan, I like it!
Geoff
really nice!
i guess this is quite a scarce one
you mean there are other authors???
lol jk.. i have lots of books, but i don't collect any particular author quite like I do Sai King... I take guilty pleasure in old V.C. Andrews books.. the new ones don't do much for me.. I also loovvvee Tananarive Due.. she doesn't have many books but I love what I've read and I own two.. besides that I like to get the classics.. I have Dante (The whole Divine Comedy and the other one about that girl he loved.. i can't remember the name), and The Odyssey and Dracula and Dr. Jekhyll and Mr. Hyde (haven't even read that one).... Hans Christian Andersen and Grimm's Fairy Tales... I really don't even know all the books I have.. They hide.. Every now and then I'll find one and there are lots I've never even read and I just bought cuz they were really old or someone gave them to me... I wish I had pictures... probably not as impressive and you guys' stuff tho.
Definitely read Jekyll and Hyde. And if you do, put out of your mind the basic storyline as seen in the movies--that's all phony.
Read it new, in other words, like it's a mystery--it's called The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Definitely a good read (and short!).
oh... i guess i was being dumb in thinking that all those storylines couldn't be wrongdoy... i'll get it from jerz eventually.... *sigh*
I'm not quite sure what you mean, but I don't think you were being dumb--at worst, just ignorant. Which isn't such a bad thing.oh... i guess i was being dumb in thinking that all those storylines couldn't be wrong
i just meant that i assumed i already knew the story... idk i think i got distracted tho... i usually read what i buy.
Thanks a lot guys!
Could it be :
La Vita Nuova ("The New Life"), the story of his love for Beatrice Portinari?
Yes yes! thank you.. i knew it was something about life.. lol
Just a few items. Ray Garton "The Folks and The Folks 2", inscribed to myself and my wife.
Mike Arnzen sent me a few things. Proverbs and Monsters, Signed Limited Hardcover, won this years Bram Stoker.
Bitchfight ARC, inscribed to me.
Chapbook with one of his contributions. Signed.

NeedfulKings that's sweet you got Garton to inscribe you a few books. Anyway you could let me in on that secret. I'm a Garton fan, too!
Also, I have Bitchfight, I've yet to read it, but I will.
Some great stuff there!
Geoff
Cool. I hope you like Arnzen. He's different, but good.
As for Garton, it's not too big of a secret. He sells items on eBay. I didn't know it was him until I had a messaging conversation that went something like this:
me: Will you combine shipping if I win 2 books? Also, how would you go about aquiring a personal inscription by Mr. Garton?
mace37: Sure, I'll just likely add $1 for the additional book. As for the inscription, I'm Ray Garton, so just ask. Thanks.
He's got quite a few things up. I might snag one or two more.
