Give us your list of what you bought during the "Bailout Sale" from Fictionwise.
I'm back to my first love: Literature.
I've been reading some wonderful, happy trash lately (and loving it!), but thought I'd use the Fictionwise 50% off sale to pick up some titles from my favorite writers.
Here's my list:
1.
The Falls – Joyce Carol Oates
2.
The Last Detective [an Elvs Cole novel] – Robert Crais
3.
My Sister, My Love – Joyce Carol Oates
4.
The Corrections – Jonathan Franzen
5.
Sexus – Henry Miller
6.
Plexus – Henry Miller
7.
Nexus – Henry Miller
8.
The Royal Family – William T. Vollmann
Vollmann's novel, as a hardback, is a huge tome. I’m a big fan of his writing. He’s a difficult and challenging writer. [I’m hoping he’ll win the Nobel Prize in Literature.]
I read
Miller’s “
Rosy Crucifixion Trilogy” [Sexus, Plexus, Nexus] when I was in my 20s. I’m a huge fan of Miller.
I collect First Editions of
Joyce Carol Oates. [I’m hoping she, too, will eventually win the Nobel Prize in Literature.]
I had heard a lot about
Robert Crais, all very good things. Because I enjoy noir fiction, I bought one of his books to cure my ignorance.
I read
Franzen's “
The Corrections” when it first came out, but want to read it again. Unfortunately, my First Edition is in storage in the U.S.A.
I may buy one or two more titles before the end of the sale.
Post your list so that we can comment upon your good taste in reading.
