September Books Bought

Well, thanks largely to Jeff and Ann VanderMeer's Massive Book Sale, these numbers will be wildly inflated. Of course it's not like Jeff put a gun to my head or anything. Plus he's still got a few books left...

BOOKS BOUGHT




Graveyard People: The Collected Cedar Hill Stories Vol. I - Gary A. Braunbeck

I'd heard a lot about Braunbeck and decided this would be a good place to start.





Reassuring Tales - T.E.D. Klein

Same as the Braunbeck.





Dark Harvest - Norman Partridge

Recommended by both Joe and Kelly.






Best American Fantasy - Jeff VanderMeer, Ann VanderMeer, eds.

C'mon, who hasn't been looking forward to this one?





Philip K. Dick - Four Novels of the 1960s

You have to ask?






The Essential Pritchett: Selected Writings of V.S. Pritchett

Pritchett's name keeps coming up in discussions of excellent writing. Thought this might be a good place to start.





Sex God: Exploring the Endless Connections Between Sexuality And Spirituality - Rob Bell

The latest from the author of Velvet Elvis.





Deep Ministry in a Shallow World: Not- So- Secret Findings about Youth Ministry - Chap Clark, Kara Powell

Recommended by my friend Trip.





Revising Fiction: A Handbook for Writers - David Madden

Recommended by Jeff VanderMeer (I believe), but I didn't buy it from him.

The rest of these DID come from the VanderMeer Massive Book Sale. (Sorry, I'm tired of uploading images.)

Territory - Emma Bull

Poor Things - Alasdair Gray

About Writing - Samuel R. Delany

Ernest Hemingway on Writing - Larry Phillips, ed.

The Five Gates of Hell - Rupert Thomson

The Iguana - Anna Maria Ortese

The Verificationist - Donald Antrim

Thirteen Ways to Water and Other Stories - Bruce Holland Rogers (signed)

Guided Tours of Hell: Novellas - Francine Prose

That's it! No more books! Man, what was I thinking...
