Apr. 2nd, 2006 12:58 pmI went a little overboard with Amazon last month...
Most of what I ordered has now arrived, to wit:
Graphic novels: Neil Gaiman, Marvel 1602 and The Kindly Ones.
Fiction: Timothy Zahn, The Green and the Gray; Janet Evanovich, One for the Money; Dorothy Dunnett, To Lie with Lions; R. Meluch, The Myriad; Laura Joh Rowland, The Perfumed Sleeve; and Elizabeth Peters, Die for Love.
Nonfiction: Jim Wallis, God's Politics; John Trenchard and Thomas Gordon, Cato's Letters; and the BradyGames guide to Civilization IV.
I'm still waiting on: Michael Hammond, The Phonology of English; Penny Lee, The Whorf Theory Complex; and Steven Mithen, After the Ice.
I've already read and commented on The Green and the Gray, and will shortly have something to say about Marvel 1602. (I believe it was![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jeriendhal who recommended that one, for which my fervent thanks.) Evanovich and Peters have been repeatedly recommended on the Bujold list, so I decided to give them a try. The Dunnett is the next volume in the House of Niccolo series; Rowland's is another Sano Ichiro mystery; and I've been waiting a long time for a new Meluch. On the nonfiction side, my thanks to sunlizzard for recommending the Wallis (and I will get those books off to you soon, I promise); to pompe for the Mithen; and to sraun tygerr for his, admittedly left-handed, recommendation of the BradyGames volume.
I am continually grateful to the various online communities for the wonderful books they've set me onto.
