The Spoils: January 2012

I used to buy at least twice as many more books in a single month, but those days are gone. Thankfully, the idea of “quality over quantity” takes on the strength of a bona fide principle when applied  to books. So not only am I pleased to own these titles, I’m also quite grateful to my wife; everything except the last title was her Christmas present to me:

1. Visiting Wallace, edited by Dennis Barone and James Finnegan
2. My Index Of Slightly Horrifying Knowledge by Paul Guest
3. Active Boundaries: Selected Essays And Talks by Michael Palmer
4. Codes Appearing: Poems 1979-1988 by Michael Palmer
5. Hapgood: A Play by Tom Stoppard
