Has been a very busy weekend getting together my stuff for holidays :-) I managed to get along to a boot sale ( mobile flea market? Not sure what Americans/Canadians call it ) and picked up some great books for just 20p each! I got:
StormBringer - Micheal Moorcock
Huckleberry Finn - Samuel L Clemens
Voyage to the City of the Dead - Alan Dead Foster
The Dragon Hoard - Tanith Lee
Weave World - Clive Barker
Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte
Yes... Cristina! I have Jane Eyre by Bronte :-D What a fantastic haul! My book mountain is vanishing into the clouds... but never mind :-D Books! Books! Books! You can never have enough of those :-D
Now the cool beyond cool. Sometimes, just sometimes, you stumble across something so cool that it's beyond cool. And this is it:
It's a short movie from of the Earth as seen from a N.A.S.A space probe as it's flies away from our planet. Very. Very. Cool. If they tell you there is no magic, don't believe them. It's all around us.

I love it when one comes across great books so cheap! Well done... :)!
Well well well! I'm really looking forward to reading your opinion of *the* book when you read it. How exciting!! :D
Ahhh books! I couldn't live without them! Got loads of new ones too..can't wait to sink my teeth into them! The most reliable of loves/lovers aren't they ;)
Cheers!
Just a note to wish you bon voyage! Leave those books at home: you'll have no time for reading while you're gone!
Have a wonderful holiday and looking forward to your posts.
P.S. Not so sure I'm going to be able to make my way through "Jonathan Strange..."
Leave it to Mr. Optimist to post this. That, my dear Martin, is a complement. Mother Earth. Nothing else like her...
