Books Books Are on the Way to Slog Happy

I will be unable to attend Slog Happy due to all the readings going on in Seattle tonight. But there will be many free books for you to take home and enjoy and hopefully review for Slog. Here are just a few:

First of all: We have a dust-jacketless copy of Stephen King's Under the Dome! I reviewed it here. You know you want it. Other prominent novels include The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane, Far North by Marcel Theroux, and The Mere Future, along with many other sci-fi, literary fiction, and fantasy novels.

Some non-fiction books include Tinsel, a study of America's Christmas obsession; Reasonable Men: The Birth of the National Enquirer; and A Heartbreak and a Guitar: Johnny Cash and the Making of Bitter Tears.

Some funny books include the great Masterpiece Comics by R. Sikoryak (a book that is worth it for the Charlie Brown/Kafka's "Metamorphosis" mashup alone), and Logicomix, about Bertrand Russell.

Plus, as the kids say, many more. Get there early: I call "no dibsies!"

Just remember - if you see a book and are thinking "Hmm. Maybe I should get that." and then start talking with someone, by the time you get back to the table it will be gone.

OK, except for the copy of The Watchmen: An Examination of the Theological Underpinnings of the Socialist Manifesto in the Realm of the Costumed Superhero. Nobody's going to take that turkey ...

Dammit, I still would have read the king book. Stupid airplanes need to go faster.

Whoever got "Masterpiece Comics" really lucked out!

Ended up picking up the African book.

Kind of pretentious, but it's written by a Brit.
