Fantastic, Peggy!! I remember reading Fields of Fire at university ( a long time ago! LOL!) and being shouted at by a girlfriend for reading 'commercial fiction', LOL!! Glad you have a copy of Submarine by E Beach. All his books are fantastic! Intrigued by The Red Horse. Never heard of it. Copies in the UK seem to be few and far between and very expensive!
That shirt😂. I am reading washington currently and he denied his men to drink, gamble or be immoral. He insisted they gather for church meetings often to keep their minds pure unlike the other generals who were drinking etc.
Have the Kingdom of the Wicked by Anthony Burgess in the first trade and in the Franklin Library (from an estate sale). Read it so long ago, so thanks for the synopsis. I'm glad you posted the video, it is a favorite.😊
To book collectors in the U.S., except for a small group of exceptions, are never considered first editions and are generally not worth collecting and only serve as reading copies not worth the shelf space. Book collectors are sometimes eccentric, read the late John Dunning's Cliff Janeway novels for a good look into the bookscout world. For non-fiction read Larry McMurtry's memoir on the book world.
Great set of books. Just picked up earthly powers myself, actually. Read James Webb back when I taught at the Naval Academy from 98-00, in fact it was probably the third one you shared. Lots of common ground here.
"The Kingdom of the Wicked" sounds like fun! I'll have to look that one up, even if from my cultural context, "the sin of being uncircumcised" makes for a disappointing if funny closing to that otherwise fine litany of intriguing abominations. 😇 It's kind of like one of those poorly structured pharmaceutical commercials where a list of increasingly horrifying and debilitating side effects crescendos with some lame malady that would be a minor annoyance at best. Thanks for the video, and have a good one!
Nice haul!
Fully agree things are too censored today😢

The only problem with watching other book tube channels is that it only increases the tbr. Best wishes and happy reading.
Indeed it does!
The first sentence of "Earthly Powers" is one of my favorite opening lines in all of literature.

I dont get the book club edition comment. Is that a bad version?
