Summer reading!

As if i don't have too much to read already! but what the heck, as much as i enjoy reading lofty theoretical discussion about urban spatial morphology, how form dictates function, etc, my brain wants some other outlets too! so here we go:

AND

Well, not that i am a fan of the two authors or anything (although i read a few pages of the House on Mango Street a few years ago and remembered liking it) BUT these are some of the few cheap buys i could find on amazon.co.uk! I might as well have ordered from the US and have it shipped over and still paid LESS. but life's too short to wait for a book you want to read. (or intend to want to read)

The average book price here is £6.99-7.99 which is roughly the same as in the US. BUT on American amazon, used books (whose conditions are 'very good' or 'like new') are like mad cheap man. i don't know what i would do when i go back to thailand. i probably will have to fly off to singapore and hoard a heap or something (not that your books are a lot cheaper singaporeans!). i don't remember when was the last time i paid full price for a brand new book! hmmm...it might have been the Man of My Dreams by Curtis Sittenfield, which turned out to be a bloody disgrace. life gets even shorter all of a sudden after you've finished a book like that.
