It's been a while since I've posted some Book Porn, so here are 4 purchases and 5 Review Copies/ARCs that I've received in the past few weeks:
Here are the five review copies/ARCs that I received over the past couple of weeks. The first is the just-released (June 3rd) graphic novel, Out of Picture 2, which highlights the drawing and story talents of artists currently or formerly associated with Blue Sky Studios. I might review this one shortly; I certainly thought it was entertaining and very creative. Next is the ARC for Tobias Buckell's third novel (coming out in August), Sly Mongoose, which Buckell himself sent to me. Review later this month; I thought it was better than his first two efforts, which I enjoyed. The third book I just received yesterday and is by the late Arthur C. Clarke and Frederik Pohl, The Last Theorem. This book comes out August 5.
The MMPB on the bottom is Patricia Rosemoor & Marc Paoletti's The Last Vampire, and it is set to be released on June 24. And finally, the hardcover is Peter David's retelling of the Peter Pan story, Tigerheart. It goes on sale June 17th. I read it last week and found it to be an okayish tale, but it wasn't anything special.
These are my four most recent purchases. Bought, read, and enjoyed greatly Franz Kafka's The Trial, Flann O'Brien's The Complete Novels, and Naguib Mahfouz's Voices from the Other World: Ancient Egyptian Tales, and am currently reading the Spanish translation of Serbian author Goran Petrović's La Mano de la Buena Fortuna (The Hand of Good Fortune). Alas, there's no English translation of any of his work available at the moment, as I really think there are many here (especially those who've read and enjoyed the other authors in this photo) who would really enjoy this fine work.
More Book Porn later this month, perhaps.
