The book sale

While Nørrebro was lighted up in flames and flooded with tear gas, I decided to go shopping. I had just gotten a raise, and a 3rd job so I felt like spending some money. Went out shopping books, since the big yearly book sale has just started in Copenhagen. This is what I bought:

Icelandic Sagas - Egils Saga Njals Saga

As I told you I'm going to Iceland, so I wanted to brush up on the sagas, maybe bring it along to read.

Honoré de Balzac - Eugénie Grandet

Just a classical writer I've never read. A writer in realism like Flaubert and Stendal, both of whom I like very much.

Ambrose Bierce - Terror by Night

It's got a really corny cover of like a dissolving face, but I've run into his name many times while studying for my paper on Lovecraft. I think Lovecraft was a big fan of him, so I thought I'd give him a go. It's a collection of short storys.

Herman Melville - The Confidence-Man: His Masquerade

Another classical writer. I finished about half of Moby Dick before I dropped it. This one got some excellent reviews when it was republished in Danish not to long ago.

Anton Simmha - Astanga-Yoga

Astanga Yoga is my new hobby, so this should help me remember the exercises when I feel like I need some good conscience outside the weekly class.

That was this years harvest, lots of good titles on sale this year.
