book hoard

A list of some of the books I've gotten my claws onto paper copies of! You can count this as a list of books I like, but definitely an incomplete one - there are plenty of books I like and don't have a copy of in paper, and there are plenty of books in my corporeal dwelling that I haven't listed here.

classics etc.

• Brave New World, Aldous Huxley. Haven't read it. Third-hand gift.
• Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle. IDK, man. Bad scan, decent binding. Features the manmade lacunae known as '.PDF corruption'.
• Richard III, William Shakespeare. No Fear Shakepeare edition, picked up as-new in second-hand bookstore, with plenty of room for annotations!
• The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Found serendipitously in second-hand bookstore, in quite good condition.

Discworld

• Carpe Jugulum, Pterry. Collector's Library Edition. OSDD representation...?
• Feet of Clay, Pterry. By far the most battered of my Discworld Collector's Library Edition books, because it's by far the most re-read.
• Guards! Guards!, Pterry. Collector's Library Edition.
• Jingo, Pterry. Collector's Library Edition.
• Men at Arms, Pterry. Collector's Library Edition.
• Night Watch, Pterry. Collector's Library Edition. They rise knees up, knees up...
• Reaper Man, Pterry. Collector's Library Edition.
• The Truth, Pterry. Paperback. Got its boots on.
• Witches Abroad, Pterry. Collector's Library Edition.

misc. fiction

• Conclave, Robert Harris. Movie cover edition.
• A Game of Thrones, GRRM.
• Name of the Rose, Umberto Eco. Re-covered by me because it was a movie-cover version from the 1986 film and I didn't want Sean Connery staring at me.

misc. nonfiction

• Dæmon Voices, Philip Pullman.
• Dark Archives, Megan Rosenbloom. This is a tastefully-covered(! in paper) little book about anthropodermic bibliopegy.
• How a Game Lives, Jacob Geller. I am very happy to have been able to pre-order and recieve a copy of this wonderful book.
• Twelve Ceasers, Mary Beard.
• What If?, Randall Munroe. What if the world was made of pudding?

poetry

• Devotions, Mary Oliver. Definitely one of my favourite books of all time.
• Useless Magic, Florence Welch.
• War of the Foxes, Richard Siken. Honestly my favourite Siken book even though I love the disability arts of I Do Know Some Things.

Tolkien

• An Atlas of Tolkien, David Day. It has a green cover, which I like.
• Lord of the Rings, JRRT. Hardback one-volume illustrated anniversary edition! A very lavish gift I really appreciate.. problem is it's too big to read easily in bed.
