More Kim Stanley Robinson. Why do I have all this Kim Stanley Robinson? I've only kept the Mars ones, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The Steven Erikson I bought because I had to mark a Masters dissertation in them; they were interestingish, but didn't really do it for me enough to warrant shelf space. I have limited sympathy for grim/dark/gritty fantasy. I am also, with a sense of vindictive satisfaction, getting rid of Thomas Covenant, which I've only really kept out of a vague feeling that I ought to as a good fantasy critic. Nope. Really, no. (The Philip Mann whose title you can't read is The Eye of the Queen. I bought the Philip Mann because a colleague recommended them as part of my Masters dissertation, and I referred to them in passing for half a sentence and never read them again.)

Hah! thought you would, supposing you didn't already own it. Noted, I'll move it into your stash.

Never could stand Donaldson, good riddance say I!

there is, perhaps, a certain degree of gleeful trampling on the corpse involved. Although I've kept, for no adequately defined reason, the Mordant's Need ones. Possibly because the mirror magic is interesting, possibly because I identified like hell and dammit with the heroine when I first read them as a pale, weedy undergrad.
