Free books
Dec. 7th, 2008 08:47 pmWe seem to have a number of unwanted books, acquired over the years. This may sound like heresy, but in fact they're all duplicates, things that came in bulk boxes of 'we want most of that', books my grandmother doesn't want anymore and no-one else in the family will ever read, and so on. Anyway, we thought we'd try to find homes where they could be properly cared for, so is anyone interested in any of the following:
Fiction:
PD James - Death in Holy Orders; The Skull Beneath the Skin; A Taste for Death; Death of an Expert Witness; Shroud for a Nightingale
Ellis Peters - Fallen into the Pit
Dan Brown - Angels and Demons
Morris West - The Clowns of God
Mary Stewart - The Prince and the Pilgrim
Lynn and Jay - Yes, Prime Minister, volume 1 (hardback, no dustcover)
EE 'Doc' Smith - Grey Lensman; 2nd Stage Lensman; The Purity Plot
Michael Marshall Smith - Spares
Katherine Kerr - The Fire Dragon
Shea and Wilson - The Eye in the Pyramid (Illuminatus 1)
Non-fiction:
Michael Lewis - The new new thing. (Mildly interesting book about the founding of Netscape and the late 90s internet boom. Amusing at the end, where the author - writing just before the bubble burst - predicts that the boom will last forever and simultaneously laughs at the idiocy of some venture capitalists who've just wasted money on a chunk of a company called
Michael Moore - Dude, where's my country? (Moore does his thing.)
Andrea Barham - The pedant's revolt. (One of those books correcting long lists of 'facts' which 'everyone knows' but which aren't actually true. At a quick glance, it looks to be mostly, but not always, accurate.)
Self-help:
Secrets of the Cube
Success system that never fails
Know who you are, be what you want
