Nu-ILB: What books have you purchased lately?

I have come to accept that I do not have meaningful amounts of shelf space left, nor do I have wall space to put shelves against, and I'm just a person who is going to have piles

Carrying all those books will do that to you.

Just logging my last buys and stuff I got from Xmas gifts now:

S. Yizhar - Preliminnaries
Miguel Asturias - Mr. President
Alejo Carpenter - Explosion in the Cathedral
Shakespeare - Julius Ceasar
Lucio Cardoso - Chronicle of the Murdered House
Andrei Platonov - Chevengur
Stanislaw Witkiewicz - Insatiablity
Wittold Gombrowicz - Ferdeyduke
Yasunari Kawabata - The Old Capital
Yasunari Kawabata - The Rainbow
V. S. Prtchett - A Cab at the Door
Henry Green - Concluding
John Donne - Sermons
Jeremy Taylor - Four Sermons
Osvaldo Lamborghini - Two Stories
Horacio Quiroga - Beyond

if you have piles you could take a book suppository
or not as the case may be.

Mix of buys and 2nd hand exchange. Year properly beginning in May
