Boooks!
I got a letter from A Clean Well Lighted Place (local independent bookstore - I signed up for their newsletter and discount program and stuff) saying, in essence, "help, the recession is strangling us". So after the long-awaited appt. with The Best Shrink in San Francisco, I went book shopping. Here is ze loot:
-
David Boring, graphic novel by Daniel Clowes, who wrote the brilliant Ghost World.
-
Look at Me, well-reviewed fiction by Jennifer Egan.
-
The Year's Best Science Fiction, edited by Gardner Dozois.
-
Dervish is Digital by Pat Cadigan, whose writing I love so much it gives me stomachaches.
-
Nebula Awards Showcase, 2003, edited by Nancy Kress, who I do not know.
- Video by Meera Nair. Short stories by a contemporary female writer from India.
- Number 9 Dream by David Mitchell. The cover blurb says "'A novel as accomplished as anything being written' - Newsweek", which I think is meant as a compliment??
Oh, and some artsy books for Mother's Day gifts. Industrial design, stuff like that. She digs it.
