Books I’m not taking, craptacular sorting

Here is a list of the books and a few old pc games I will not be moving. If any of these interest you, speak up and grab them, otherwise, i’m going to try to sell them to used book stores, or donate them to some charitable cause type store. (Most likely out of the closet).

Furniture, and other misc items that may be of interest will be posted a little later today.

I may get around to formatting this in some non-ass fashion later, but as the moving and packing shit is starting to hit the fan, we will see how that one goes.

[I had no idea this would excite the response it has. Basic decision is as follows: People who come to pick the stuff they want up in person get priority over others. If nobody comes to pick it up, I will ship stuff to you if you’ll pay me back. And I’ll format it & put it on a webpage & stuff, tomorrow or sunday or something.]


The first and by far largest section is sci-fi fantasy, which is more fantasy than sci-fi. Next comes non-speculative fiction, comics, cookbooks, text books, misc nonfiction, then homo books, psych/pop-psych books, sign & foreign language books, o’reilly and other applied computer things books, then games on cd.

    Diablo 2 Expansion: Lord of Destruction (I have an extra)

    I would like all of these – let me know what I need to do to get them please. (*griN* Send them with Rohan to Austin. ;-))

        1. Re: Delish.

          3do. poor company.

          SCII – was good.. but so many damn ships. i liked the one that created vortexes and had the spherical shield. the dreadnought (black one) was uber fun, too.

        2. Re: Delish.

          3d0. poor company.

          sc ii – so many damn ships in that game. i did like the one that created space vortexes and possessed a sphere shield. the black dreadnought was sweet.

          i <3 the spathi.

  2. Andrew Sullivan?

    Are his books good? He’s a mite conservative for my taste, but his views can be refreshing.
    Well, if no body up there wants them, I’d send you postage and such for them to mail to me. And maybe Diablo, also. 😉

    Let me know.

  3. Kid in a Candy Store

    Man, where do I begin? And where the heck were you hiding all these, Steve? 🙂

    Isaac Asimov: Foundation, Foundation and Empire
    J Gregory Keyes: PsiCorps Trilogy-Deadly Relations, PsiCorps Trilogy-Final Reckoning
    Michael Chabon: The Mysteries of Pittsburgh
    Michael Abrash: Michael Abrash’s Graphics Programming Black Book

    O’Reilly: Learning GNU Emacs, Learning XML

    Master of Orion

    I wouldn’t mind picking up some of the various fantasy books you have, either, but having read none of them, I’d be relying on your recommendation, there.

    You know my e-mail. Let’s chat, shall we?

  4. I would give my left nut for:

    Isaac Asimov’s books
    Phillip K. Dick
    William Gibson
    Russell ‘n’ Norvig’s AI book
    Po Bronson’s book
    Benjamin Hoff’s books
    3D Game Programming in C++
    The Indispensible PC Hardware book
    Javascript Application Cookbook
    Learning GNU Emacs
    Linux Network Administrator’s Guide
    Web Design in a Nutshell

    … and throw in a game if you feel like it.

    Wow, I’ll pay for shipping too! (Ground please!)

    Oh, and a reach-around next time we meet. 😛

    Uhh, wow. I’m too attached to possessions, but I envy your courage.

  5. This is from near/in SF, right?

    I’m willing to pick up from anywhere in the Bay Area:
    Diablo 2 expansion
    X-com TFTD
    Warcraft 2

    I’ll even donate a bit to your moving effort.

  6. Strangely enough, I’m tempted to ask for my Organic Chemistry book back (the one by Seyhan Ege), but I’m not going to ask you to ship such a heavy thing. Unless you really want to. (=

  7. Alas, I can’t come pick it up, but I would dearly love de Lint’s Memory and Dream. Do you take Paypal? 🙂
