    Just bought an old Everyman's paperback of Smollett's Roderick Random.

    Still got a copy of Roderick and Roderick at Random so I'm wondering what Sladek borrowed from Smollett besides the book title.
    sigpic Myself as Mephistopheles (Karen Koed's painting of me, 9 Nov 2008, U of Canterbury, CHCH, NZ)

    Gold is the power of a man with a man
    And incense the power of man with God
    But myrrh is the bitter taste of death
    And the sour-sweet smell of the upturned sod,

    Nativity,
    by Peter Cape

            Picked up used copies of Serpico by Peter Maas, Three Hearts and Three Lions by Poul Anderson and a Bian Aldiss short story collection, The Airs of Earth. All in pretty good condition and for a little over £4!

                A trip to Hay netted quite a haul:

                For my dad, a brace of John Rankine/Douglas Mason sf novels -
                * Operation Umanaq
                * Bromius Phenomenon
                * One Is One
                * Interstellar Two Five
                * Space: 1999 Android Planet
                * Space: 1999 Moon Odyssey
                * Rings of Garamas
                * Ring Of Violence
                * Dilation Effect
                * Satellite 54-Zero

                For me, a couple of Moorcock upgrades (Chrons. of Castle Brass, The Runestaff), copies of TKnOTS (Ace gold), New Worlds Ten, upgrades of The Centauri Device and The Committed Men by M. John Harrison, Marvel Masterworks: Spider-man 1964 and The Eye of the Lens (Savoy) by Lang Jones.

                While my daughter picked up a copy of Kit Williams' Book Without A Title. That should keep her occupied for a while. :)

                          Just blew an enormous wodge on a bunch of Alasdair Gray books - the old mistake of wandering into the Edinburgh Book Festival with a credit card on one's person. Even worse: there were a good few more books I noticed in passing that will likely tempt me in tomorrow. Darn.

                            The Fall of Kelvin Walker is still one of my favourite books.
