X-link to the General/Literary Fiction thread for a literary speculative bargain for just $1.99 (Amazon US only as a Daily Deal for July 11th):

Labyrinths by the late Argentinian author Jorge Luis Borges (Wikipedia), his vintage classic story and essay collection, out of which the short story “Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius” (Wikipedia) was up for a Retro Hugo Award last year. Reprinted by specialty press New Directions, with a new introduction by modern classic cyberpunk author William Gibson.

Also at $1.99 for a presumably longer time from HarperCollins from all the usual retailers (linkage goes to Kobo, prices should be good for Canada and the US):

The Birthday of the World and Other Stories by Ursula K. Le Guin (Wikipedia), her short story collection which has previously been on sale before.
Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by Gregory Maguire (Wikipedia) of Wicked Oz spinoff franchise fame, another one of his fairy tale re-examinings.
The Big U by Neal Stephenson (Wikipedia). Actually not sfnal, but a reprint of an apparently hard-to-find early satirical literary fiction novel which sends up American college life, if you happen to be a curious fan.
