Monday I Buy Books
 

Every Monday I go and buy a few books to read for future weeks or whenever. Was curious as to what, if any of you read and what it is?

This is what I purchased today:

Bukowski: Notes Of A Dirty Old Man,
On The Campaign Trail 72: Hunter S Thompson,
Foundation Flash 5: FriendsOfEd.com,
Flesh And Machines: Rodney Brooks,
JAVA AWT Reference: O'Reilly

:winkwink:

I tend to read and reread my current collection of about 75-100 books. It takes a lot for me to buy something 'new' and untested. Anything I buy new has to be by an author I know to be worth my time and effort. I'd rather go to the library for 'new' stuff, its cheaper.

Bukowski: Notes Of A Dirty Old Man

:thumbsup

The Java and Flash books have price tags of over 100 bucks, but I got them for 2 bucks a piece :winkwink:

This set of books cost me under 10.00. Library? Nah... used book stores.

I re-read my collection too, unfortunately it consists of quite a few hundred books more along the lines of 2000. Including all my Vintage Art books (oversized) and Vintage Horror Paperbacks. Yeah I collect Vintage books and first editions of all Stephen King and such... lame but it looks cool in my studio!

Theory of Relativity. :thumbsup

Women and Hollywood are my favorite Bukowski errrr Chenaski works :winkwink:

I only wish I had room for that many books! I envy you for that.:thumbsup

Gates of Fire - Pressfield
Ender's Game - Card
Shibumi - Trevanian
any of the Elric series - Moorcock
Breakfast Of Champions - Vonnegut
take your pick - Steven King

pimpin for dummies was my latest book

great book :)

Brooks is the man when it comes to the next generation of robots. his research at mit completely changed the direction everyone else was heading in terms of ai in mobile robotics.

Mark Tilden and his BEAM robotics philosophy is also well worth checking out.

Tom Robbins fans try

Island of the Sequined Love Nun by Christopher Moore
Gone for Good by Mark Childress

Stephen King fans

anything by Poppy Z Brite especially Lost Souls..

Marilyn, The last take by Peter Brown

If you find the Mafia,Kennedys ,Marilyn Monroe , J Edgar Hoover and 21st Centery Fox interesting.

I had an used bookstore for 6 years ! I am set for life on reading material !
