I must confess that I got 11 treebooks (sounds better than pbooks for some reason) today in the mail.
Due to the absence of any physical secondhand bookstores in my area, I spend many a night prowling an online auction site for 2nd hand books. I'm obsessively checking for new listings or doing keyword searches on my favorite authors.
I finally got lucky and bagged one I've been after for a long time - Peter F Hamilton. I actually stayed up babysitting my bids till the last minute and got 6 of his books. To make shipping more affordable I added some other books from the same seller.
My total haul includes:
Peter F Hamilton:
Pandora's Star
Judas Unchained
Fallen Dragon
The Naked God
The Neutronium Alchemist
The Reality Dysfunction
Arthur C Clarke:
2001 - A Space Odyssey (Hardback)
2010 - Odyssey Two
2061 - Odyssey Three
3001 - The Final Odyssey (Hardback)
Carl Sagan - Contact
I've had endless joy in unpacking, paging through and cataloging the new arrivals. There's just something about getting new books that amounts to complete tactile bliss.
