June/July reading

[geekchick]

Today is Prickle-Prickle, day 68 in the season of Confusion, 3271.

I missed June's list of what I'd been reading, so I'll condense June and July into this one post. Not really any commentary right this second because I mostly want to get this written down before I go crawl into bed or else I'll forget to do it for yet another month.

• Fleshmarket Alley, Ian Rankin
  
• A Question of Blood, Ian Rankin
  
• McSweeney's #16 (They aren't kidding, it comes with a comb. Why is there a watermelon comb there?)
  
• Never Let Me Go, Kazuo Ishiguro
  
• Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, J.K. Rowling
  
• The Time-Traveler's Wife, Audrey Niffenegger. Okay, one tiny bit of commentary: I loved this book. Loved it. I don't usually do a whole lot of re-reading of books (Jane Eyre being an exception), but this one will be read again.
  
• Strangers in Paradise Pocket Book Collection vols. 1,2, and 3, Terry Moore (A handy way to catch up, by which I mean "start reading from the beginning".)
  
• Haunted, Chuck Palahniuk. I could've lived my life quite happily without ever once having read "Guts". Seriously. I suppose though that since I did sort of ask a friend to send me a link to it a while ago when he mentioned it, I did get exactly what I asked for.
  

If I count correctly, that's 28 completed so far this year. (I forgot to count Nick Hornby's The Polysyllabic Spree in with May's books). I'm slacking, it seems.

Of course, now I have one of the UK editions, I'm loathe to get some of the US ones because the cover art isn't the same and I want them all to "fit".

Plus, you'd get the correct titles that way! ;)
