Eagerly awaiting my birthday gift from the SO.... :-) Bliss bliss bliss. He has ordered from Amazon.com, the complete selection of the Earthsea series by Ursula Le Guin. Once upon a time, I had this Earthsea trilogy -"A Wizard of Earthsea" (Book 1), "The Tombs of Atuan" (Book 2) , and "The Farthest Shore" - (Book 3) all in one paperback copy.
I told him I have since lost the book to an unrepentant and forgotten borrower. He researched and found out that three more books have been written since. And so that is what I am getting for my birthday this year (among other goodies of course...), Books 1 - 3, and "Tehanu" (Book 4), "Tales from Earthsea" (Book 5), and "The Other Wind" (Book 6). Bliss bliss bliss. Thanks, sweetie.
Meanwhile, am reading "Spoken Here: Travels Among Threatened Languages" by Mark Abley and "The Hand of the Enemy" by Kerima Polotan and rereading "Stephen Hawking: A Life in Science" by Michael White and John Gribbin. Immediate past reading was "The Camel Club" by David Baldacci.
Given my eclectic tastes, I have everything from Prehistory of Sex to Winnie the Pooh, The Oracle Book, Zodiac Spells, Tropical Vegetables, Gem Identification Made Easy, Unspeakable Images, Five Quarters of an Orange, Freaky Deaky, When the Moon Waxes Red, Birds of the Philippines, Chinese Love Signs, The Political Economy of Gender, The Food Allergy Cure, Ultimate Pilates, Philippine Cyclopedia of Plants, Antiques of the Philippines, The Secret Language of Birthdays, Style by Elsa Klensch, Curious George, Marx and Engels, Directing the Documentary, Shelters of Stone, The Da Vinci Code, Physics Made Easy, Bach Beethoven and the Boys, The Jam Fruit Tree, Idiot's Guide to Getting Rich, and everything else in between!
