Ok, I'm going on holiday for 2 weeks in a month or so and my shelf is bare so I need a shopping list for a big trip to Borders (or possibly Amazon). The only things I can remember that have been recommended to me recently are Light by M. John Harrison and The Scar by China Mieville. So, recommend me stuff. It doesn't have to be genre. It doesn't have to be novels. It does have to be available in paperback in the UK. Stuff by authors I haven't read yet particularly welcome (although most of you probably don't know what I've already read so that's not particularly helpful :) ).

Emptied of expectation. Relax.

and now for something
Date: July 1st, 2003 03:26 am (UTC)From: (Anonymous)Memoirs of a Thinking Radish by Peter Medawar; anything by Loren Eiseley or Lewis Thomas (perhaps Late Night Thoughts is a little grim for your hols); Marion Glasscoe's edition of Julian of Norwich: Revelation of Divine Love; the selected poems of Antonio Machado (ed. by A.S. Trueblood) and for fun, Making Cocoa for Kingsley Amis, by Wendy Cope, another collection of poems. Sadly, the only pbk edition of Han Shan's poems about Cold Mountain is about 50 quid ;-( or else I'd recommend that as well.
