This Week The Books I Bought

For this year.

I didn't buy many books last year and those few that I did, I didn't keep the receipts. Which is a shame because they're tax deductible up to ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS! *Dr Evil Grin* But who can keep a year's worth of receipts up to RM1000? Not me.

So this year I decided (right after filing in my taxes and paying on time) that I'm going to buy books just 2 or 3 times a year under 2 or 3 huge receipts. Yes, I like my eggs in one basket. They're easier to make into omelets that way.

So I took out RM500 and off to the MPH sale I went and bought:

1. Star Wars: The Comics Companion by Rider Windham & Daniel Wallace (Dark Horse Books)


2. Batman: Hong Kong by Doug Moench & Tony Wong (DC Comics)


3. Batman: Tales of the Demon by a few people, it was a compilation (DC Comics)


4. Serenity: Those Left Behind (Dark Horse Books)


5. Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri (Flamingo)


6. Attila the Hun by John Man (Bantam Books)


7. Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman by Haruki Murakami (Vintage)


8. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon (Vintage)


9. Run Faster (From the 5K to the Marathon: How to be Your Own Best Coach) by Brad Hudson and Matt Fitzgerald (Broadway)


10. Going Postal by Terry Pratchett (Harper Torch)


11. The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins (Black Swan)


12. A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson (Black Swan)


13. Rant by Chuck Palahniuk (Anchor Books)


14. Gonzo: The Life of Hunter S Thompson (An Oral Biography) by Jann S Wenner & Corey Seymour (Back Bay Books)


15. 1421 by Gavin Menzies (William Morrow)

I was pretty much just grabbing books I thought I might like. I had RM100 left and I think I will save that and some more for the next sale or buy books that are not on sale that I have every intention to read. Like Transformers Animated: The Arrival Trade Paperback. And a book about harmonicas.
