Editors Choice — A Big Box of Books!
This prize again? Yep.
It turns out that the winner of this prize lives in Bermuda and shipping would have been a bitch. We worked it out, but I still need to get rid of these books.
So, what books will be in the box?
- Sailor Song by Ken Kesey
- All Tomorrow’s Parties by William Gibson
- Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman
- The Art of Hunger by Paul Auster
- The Information by Martin Amis
- Pattern Recognition by William Gibson
- The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
- Demon Box by Ken Kesey
- Zero History by William Gibson
- The Difference Engine by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling
- Hand to Mouth by Paul Auster
- Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman
- Mona Lisa Overdrive by William Gibson
That’s 13 books for those counting!
I hope the shipping doesn’t kill me. I left out the Stephen King brick that weighs three pounds. If anyone lives in Tristan da Cunha, please don’t win!
