A Border's Sunday jaunt

I browsed, I read and I bought. Four books. Although it would have been 7 if I could find just one more book at the "Buy 3 Pay for 2" table. But it was not to be.

So, the ones I did buy are:
1. Neil Gaiman's The Sandman: Preludes & Nocturnes - I'm coming to his books late. After reading and hearing tons of good things about this series, I decided to make a start.
2. Ayaan Hirsi Ali's Infidel - one woman's journey to freedom and a new life.
3. Charles Palliser's Unburied - a blurb likened Palliser to Wilkie Collins and Umberto Eco. If you're a fan of both, how do you resist that?
4. Joanna Harris' Blackberry Wine - simply in anticipation of her new novel, Lollipop Shoes.

I crowned it all with a smoked salmon sandwich and a lite Danish beer at the bistro next door.

So which one will I start with? Hmmm...I think The Sandman tonight.
