And doing a book meme to push down the negativity

Taken from turnerwolf.

1. What's on your current book wish list? If too many to list, describe what kind of things are on it.
I have a book wishlist a mile long, but some titles that pop into my head are Cinder, Supergods and Devil Said Bang.

2. If you could get just one of those as a gift right now, which would it be?
Well, Devil Said Bang isn't out yet, and while I do want to read Cinder, Sueprgods has been calling to me lately. I've been seeing and hearing about it all over, despite it coming out about a year ago now. So yeah, I'll go with Grant Morrison.

3. Are there any books in your collection that you want a different or secondary copy of?
I collect editions of Alice in Wonderland, but lately I haven't been finding as many. I really want the Ralph Steadman illustrated version (it's expensive!) and the Vintage version, because the cover makes me smile.

4. When is the last time you sold/donated/otherwise got rid of books you didn't want anymore?
Oh, within the last month or two. I don't keep as many books as I used to. Unless it's near and dear to my heart, or I think I might read it again, I usually donate it to local book exchange.

5. Do you have any books written in a language other than your native tongue?
Sadly, no. I might be able to muddle through a couple children's books in Spanish or French, though.

You're most welcome! And yeah, it's definitely a winner (I can easily see this being made into a movie sometime in the next ten years). What books are you reading right now? I need some new ones to check out.

Ugh, late reply. Sorry! Anyway, I haven't been reading much, but I'm currently reading the fourth book in the Sandman Slim series by Richard Kadrey. It's a great urban fantasy series about a guy who gets sent to hell for a number years, comes back and goes apeshit on the people who sent him there. There's a lot more to it, obviously, but its hilarious and I really enjoy all the characters. There's a lot of foul language and occasionally sexy situations, but if you don't mind those, I'd say go for it. :)

It's all good :) And I don't mind any of that one bit! Sounds right up my alley, actually, and I'll have to see if my library has it. Thank you! :D
