ReplyDeleteKILLER INSIDE ME!
ReplyDeleteFUCKIN' A!
Can't wait to see what you think about it
The Collector was a terrific, yet creepy read...enjoy
ReplyDeleteCrap!! I forgot about the sale.
ReplyDeleteThe Killer Inside Me! It's so creepy and fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI am a huge John Fowles fan and have never read that one. Looking forward to seeing what you think of that one.
ReplyDeleteOooh nice!
ReplyDeleteI've got The Collector on my TBR - will be good to see what you think of it!
I have "We wish to inform..." on my shelf at home. I need to get to that one.
ReplyDeleteThe Gourevithc book is excellent! I read that one in college for a political anthropology class I took and I never forgot that book or Gourevitch's writing for that matter. Enjoy your new books!
ReplyDeleteThe Gourevith book is one I have wanted to read for a long time. Shake Hands With The Devil by Romeo Dallaire is excellent too, he was the UN commander in Rwanda at the time of the genocide.
ReplyDeleteThe Collector is one of my favourite books of all time. The protagonist is psychotic, violent, paranoid....and you cant help but grow to like him. Superb.

I love Half Price Books! I was there for the sale, too. I'm pretty sure I never walk out of that place without at least one book!
ReplyDelete"The Collector" is a very engaging read, and more accessible than "The French Lieutenant's Woman", another of John Fowles's books.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the review.
I want to read all three!
