Books Bought Feb 17th

61) Embassytown - China Miéville (new, paperback)

Where? Chapters

Why?
I love China Miéville. He's intelligent and articulate, I'm always happy to read an interview with him, or watch a youtube video of him speaking. I just havn't actually read any of his books.

I'm trying to think of a less lazy sounding way to say that I haven't read any of his books because they seem like they'd be a lot of hard work. But, yeah, they do sort of scream hardwork.

Quite why I decided to finally start out with his first book that is straight up sf rather than fantasy when hard-work-sf is one of my least favourite sub genres is a little mystifying. But I read somewhere that Embassytown is partially a responce to The Sparrow, so that could hold my attention, right?

The Damage: €10.05


62) Children of God - Mary Doria Russell  (used,paperback)

Where? Chapters

Why?
I did really love The Sparrow.
Sequel time.

The Damage: €4.99
