I just discovered nyrb and I have almost $600 worth of books added to my wish list already. When will I get to buy some of them with sales?

He loves Borges and Calvino so I think some of the stuff in that area might work for him (he’ll also be less likely to have already read it). So far I’m looking at Inverted World, Moderan, and The Continuous Karen Mortenhoe (The Unsleeping Eye/Death Watch). What do you guys think? Feel free to suggest something else (even something outside the NYRB list) but those are what I’m debating between now.

Hi all,

Has anyone come across any other noteworthy NYRB westerns besides Warlock and Butcher's Crossing (both phenomenal!)? Or even anything similar in tone? Thanks in advance!

I was perusing nyrb's sci-fi & horror lists, both rather short:

And Sheckley's someone I've been curious about, though I have a slight worry he may be too "light" and "har-de-ha-ha" for my taste. I've enjoyed Bazzuti's short stories, so figured I'd choose The Stronghold over The Singularity, since Stronghold seems to be the one everyone's trumpeting.

Priest's Inverted World is the other one that caught my eye, but have heard many differing opinions about it.

Any thoughts? Thnx! :)

My nyrb faves so far are: Nightmare Alley & When We Cease to Understand the World.

PS: I confess not every nyrb book has been a hit for me. I actually DNF-ed on Rim of Morning; it was just terrible.

This blew me away and it’s easily a new favorite of mine. Stoner is next on the list but are there any others you recommend?

I'll be in Vegas from the UK later this month, does anyone know of anywhere in the city that sells nyrb classics?

I haven't been able to find any solid info on when the annual NYRB holiday sale is.

Does it normally start around November or December?

Are there any NYRB Classics that are similar to John Williams' Stoner?

The forthcoming section was updated on the NYRB site and there’s a whole lot of new titles on the horizon:

Picked up both of these for $5 total at my local library’s bookshop the other day. Has anybody read either of these? Going to dive into the Henry James stories soon.

I signed up for the book club the other day and I'm just wondering if nyrb has a regular schedule for shipping out the classic book club books. Like is it a certain day of the month, or is it based on when I signed up?

I'm looking forward to reading Fire by George R. Stewart.

I live in the USA btw.

Just a bit of a reach in terms of topicality, but since New York Review Books ('main' series) just published THE NOTEBOOKS OF SONNY ROLLINS, here is a short film from 1968 by Dick Fontaine, called "Who Is Sonny Rollins?"

You can watch it online for free for a week. (I don't see an exact cut-off time for this, but LCC shows a free film every week, for a week, and I received the email announcement the morning of 8/2 EST.)

Idek which I wanna buy; just wanna browse thru a ton and see which have a good vibe

I need to read a few and clean my shelves first.

For some reason I can’t become fully invested in a book unless it’s sad / emotionally charged. If anyone has any recommendations please let me know!

Hello There! New to this community but since there's a big sale going on right now I'm really interested in diving in. For those who have more familiarity with this series and have read a number of their titles, what are some recommendations for a capital-F Freak who wants to read the wildest lit that NYRB has to offer?

I'm looking for the most bizarre, perverse, and surreal titles y'all have found. Bonus points if it's queer, and I don't mind if it's disturbing or confusing. I just want to read something that will melt my brain or haunt me in ways that only the best novels can. Thanks!

I usually pick up 10 books or so. Working on my list right now. Here's what I have so far: *The Wine-Dark Sea - Sciascia *The Mad and the Bad - Manchette *Ending Up - Amis *His Only Son - Alas *Poets in Landscape - Highlet *The Green Man - Amis *The Old Devils - Amis (I'm on an Amis kick)

What are you getting? What should I add to my list?

I was looking to buy Journey by Moonlight on their website and can’t find it
