I got: The Life and Times of Michael K. by J. M. Coetzee Waiting for the Barbarians by J. M. Coetzee A Bite of the Mango Mad Forest by Carol Churchill Pretty good, and surprising selection, but I can honestly say that I look forward to reading all of them

I got copies of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and Wuthering Heights to match my hardcover Bronte/Austen collection. But I'll probably get a few more books yet because I haven't seen my friends who usually buy me them.

Guide book to Ireland. Because I am planning a trip to Dublin next summer. I spent a week in Dublin last spring, let me know if you need some info! That would be great! I could use some tips about the sights, what to see and do. I haven't booked anything yet, I need to find a nice place to stay and clear my timetable for the trip.
