I was off on vacation with Marisa for Labor Day weekend (we padded it by taking Friday and Tuesday off because we are awesome). Say Marisa likes to say we take “old people” vacations: we rent a cabin and read for awhile, go to thrift stores, and eat dinner early.
As is my wont I bought a bunch of used books:
- London by Edward Rutherfurd
- Hamlet, Revenge by Michael Innes
- Cemetery World by Clifford D. Simak
- Imperial Earth by Arthur C. Clarke
- Barchester Towers by Anthony Trollope
- Iron Dream by Norman Spinrad
- Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury
- Manhattans & Murder by “Jessica Fletcher” and Donald Bain
- Space Opera by Jack Vance
- The Fall of the Towers by Samuel R. Delany
- Second Stage Lensmen by E.E. “Doc” Smith
- Gray Lensman by E.E. “Doc” Smith
- Catapult by Jim Paul
- Sudden Fiction: American Short-short stories
- Operation Shylock by Philip Roth
- The Demolished Man by Alfred Bester
- Days of Bitter Strength by David Wingrove
- Arthur & George by Julian Barnes
- Life Mask by Emma Donoghue

So you’re going to pick me something else to read, yeah? [I’m halfway through Sharps and hope to finish by Friday in amongst everything else going on.]
I will try and see over at Amazon on which books are available for shipment. It is about time that I overhauled my travel reads for 2013. I am also counting down for my annual summer books that involves a lot of late night reading.
