End of November Book Porn



Four books this time for the past few days, three of them being review copies and one a purchase.

Left: Jorge Volpi, El fin de la locura (finished reading it earlier today. On level with Volpi's other writings, this one might be the only novel I've read where Lacan, Focault, Barthes, et al. are important, exciting, interesting characters. Quite good.); Michael Moorcock, Duke Elric (fourth volume in the series of recent re-releases of Moorcock's Elric stories, each with illustrations from a top contemporary artist. Still need to read volumes 2 and 3 first, but I do plan on getting these read and perhaps reviewed by the fourth one's March 2009 release date).



Left: David J. Williams, Mirrored Heavens (I was sent this review copy by the author himself, so I will do my best to read/review it by the end of the year); Karen Miller, Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Wild Space (seeing as I haven't watched a full SW movie since the atrocity that was Episode I back in 1999...)
