Amazon Wish Lists

[Steeeeve]

Ok, so I'm always interested to see people's amazon wish lists so I thought I'd see if anyone wanted to link to theirs or post it here. To be fair I have way too much time on my hands so I don't know if anyone will.

Here is mine. I'll give a cookie to anyone who gets past the first few lines (Note: this is not legally binding). At the end it gets a bit atheist heavy and I wouldn't buy most of those any more. Just thought I'd include all the books that are on there for honesty's sake.

In fact I don't know how many of them I'd buy at all. I'm getting more and more into fiction now and this was started when I wasn't so much. Hmm. Should do a culling really.

That last one is one I want purely because Stephen Fry said it was one of his favourite books ever. He's a frighteningly intelligent man and I adore him, so I figure that if the book is one of his favourites, it can't be bad!

 

And I left all the links in because some of them are very specific versions I've chosen for aesthetic purposes as well as literary ones.

This is a great thread! Once I have a decent Amazon wishlist built up I'll post it here.

[chrysalis_stage]

I have 500 plus books on my amazon wishlist , about 100 non-fiction, the rest fiction of all types and thats not even every book I wish for. I would post a link but it would feel like someone was reading my diary I'm always on there (wasting time) browsing, adding and deleting, slight addiction probably.

 

All of the below were found in my amazon basket ready to be bought at some point in the last year but I haven’t clicked the button yet as lack of funds, so seems these are the ones i'm wanting the most lately, liable to change-mainly the fiction list.

Fiction

1. Going out – Scarlett Thomas

2. Galapagos – Kurt Vonnegut

3. The Gormanghast Trilogy – Mervyn Peake

4. Wildfire – Sarah Micklem

A lot of interesting ones in there. I may have to steal some. Also Banana is a great name for a human.

 

I'm glad to see I'm not even close to having the longest list on here.

[chrysalis_stage]

Oo I didn't know you could make some lists private while others stayed public

[poppyshake]

Oo I didn't know you could make some lists private while others stayed public

 

Neither did I, I'm going to create a 'Janet-sized' one now just for my own eyes.

[Janet]

Oh Janet what a short list...surely you could double that?

 

I have another one for Olympic challenge suggestions, but that's pathetically small at the moment!

 

Neither did I, I'm going to create a 'Janet-sized' one now just for my own eyes.

LOL @ Janet-sized!

[Echo]

I use my private ones mainly for random things I plan on buying, or even just for ideas for the future.

[Cookie]

I did consider writing all the books I wanted but this was easier - http://www.amazon.co.uk/wishlist/I43YCL4HJVEP

 

EDT - There are many more books that I want but it would take me forever to list them all!

*sneaks off to steal list headings*

Just go ahead Chrissy and steal away. I did spent (and still sometimes do) quite some time organzing all the lists and adding new ones, rename old ones shifting things from one list to another.

I just love to do that
