Books! Music!

I note that I've been ordering nonfiction books at a rather faster rate than I've been reading them, so on my latest trip up the Amazon I mostly went with fiction, primarily from various series that I've been following. The package arrived about half an hour ago; the contents are under the cut.

Books:

• Neil Gaiman, The Wake. (Sandman, v. 10) And that wraps it up for that series.


• Mark Helprin, A Soldier of the Great War.


• George Macdonald Fraser, Flash for Freedom. The third of the Flashman books; this time he's caught up in the slave trade.


• Bernard Cornwell, Sharpe's Triumph. Another in the Sharpe's Rifles series.


• Janet Evanovich, Two for the Road. The second Stephanie Plum novel; I reviewed the first here.


• Kevin Mattson, When America Was Great. My only nonfiction purchase, about USAn liberalism after WWII.


• Julia Spencer-Fleming, To Darkness and to Death. Number four in the Fergusson - Van Alstyne mystery series.


• Rosemary Kirstein, The Language of Power. This is the next book in the Steerswoman series, and I've been told that it should appeal to me specifically.

I also ordered a couple of CDs, scratching longstanding itches; they're both Greatest Hits CDs, one of Desmond Dekker ("Israelites") and the other of Mary Hopkin ("Those Were The Days").

Should keep me busy for a while.
