Books, again

keilexandraWent to the book sale today! The science fiction section was woefully tiny (encompassing fantasy), but I find a few worthwhile books to buy. I was tempted by a few thick volumes by David Eddings, Anne McCaffrey, and Marion Zimmer Bradley, but I've read enough negative reviews of them to resist.
However, I did buy both volumes of Roger Zelazny's Chronicles of Amber, which was recommended to me a while back. It's interesting so far, though the style is rather formal and sometimes questions aren't marked with a question mark. Was the work translated?
Also bought Dorothy L. Sayers's The Nine Tailors and Agatha Christie's Nemesis, though I discovered later that I've already read the latter. Plus a little booklet of Japanese Buddhist paintings, which will be useful for wallpapers and textures. All in all, I got 3 hardcovers and 2 paperbacks for $4 total. Not a bad deal!
Then worked in the premium books section for two hours volunteering, reorganizing books. I now hate James Patterson, John Grisham, Mary Higgins Clark, and a lot of other prolific authors; but most of all, Danielle Steel. Stop writing books, woman! It was really fun, though. I'm definitely doing it again next year!
