James’s 2013 reading list

[jameskearl]

I’m aiming for 25 books again this year. I’m off to a slow start, though.

1. Rivals of Weird Tales: 30 Great Fantasy & Horror Stories From the Weird Fiction Pulps – Edited by Robert Weinberg, Stefan R. Dziemianowicz & Martin H. Greenberg (1990)

I pulled this at random off my shelf of unread books. I don’t specifically remember when I bought it, though I recall it was from the bargain bin, $4.99 at Coles. It’s probably been gathering dust on my shelves for 20 years. I suspect I bought it in the midst of my dual H.P. Lovecraft & Philip K. Dick phases; both these authors are included.
