As long as they haven't redefined what Space Opera is, I wouldn't mind reading this book, and I can even have a try.

Ooooo, Wastelands: Stories of the Apocalypse, a book anthology pretty much written for me.

As chance would have it, I have won the Pulitzer Prize, and so I am qualified. Speaking in my official capacity as a Pulitzer Prize winner, Mr. Schneider, your movie sucks.

Oh, I have to have this book.

Until I can read the book in my hand, I will read A Preview, a preview of Warren Ellis's Crooked Little Vein, that is.

I loves me some post-apocalypse. Little did I know there was some more mainstream fiction that be called such, like The Road by Cormac McArthy, a great name btw.

Oooo, until I get back to buying books, I could read Monster Island in bed on the LT. (via Wil) Updatish: Yes, most of his books are available at Chapters/Indigo but for $20 no less.

I don't update the 'books desired' category enough. But with boing boing making a few suggestions lately, I am adding Brasyl to it.

Kewl. I am sure Pat's Fantasy Hotlist, by a guy in Montreal, will be the source of much for my "books desired" category. I like that is one sub-genre of specfic. i can take things off the list and walk down to Bakka !!

Lured to google him by a mention of his book being, "IT Geeks meet Cthulhu," I connect with Charles Stross, a UK specfic writer who turns out to be the guy who created the Githyanki for D&D. And he has some free stories online, which I have to get onto my Treo.

I haven't blogged this topic in quite some time and I guess it's because I don't often read about books I might want to read. This time it's Nicholson Baker's A Box of Matches. I read The Fermata, which deals with stopping time and fondling women, in a completely adolescent & if-you-are-an-adult disturbing depiction.

It is a book about an ape brighter than most who teaches us about our own world. He is called Ishmael.

And next is Nevil Shute's On the Beach. I need a wishlist.

I will also add Riddley Walker but I believe this is more esoteric than most "after the boom" books.

I like books about the end of the world, or more particularly, the things that happen after the End. Thus I will buy Walter Jon William's The Rift.
