I haven’t actually got any money at the moment, but that hasn’t stopped me from ordering a whole heap of books from Fishpond and Amazon. I periodicallyhave reading cravings , maybe every four or life months, and during those times, I don’t only have to read, I have to read particular books by particular authors, even if I don’t currently own said books. So here’s a list of the books I’m anticipating sinking my teeth into over the next three months or so:
The Gypsy’s Curse by Harry Crews
Car by Harry Crews
Celebration by Harry Crews
The Mulching of America by Harry Crews
Body by Harry Crews
Scar Lover by Harry Crews
Florida Frenzy by Harry Crews (essays by the author)
Getting Naked with Harry Crews (a book of interviews)
Perspectives on Harry Crews (essays about the author)
Morvern Callar by Alan Warner
The Man Who Walks by Alan Warner
The Worms Can Carrying Me to Heaven by Alan Warner
Finch by Jeff Vandermeer
Booklife by Jeff Vandermeer (non fiction, about the writing and marketing process)
The Long Embrace: Raymond Chandler and the Woman He Loved (biography)
Flannery O’Connor: Collected Works (a Library of America edition that remarkably only costs $16 US from Amazon)
The credit card is taking a hammering.
