At any rate, here is what I nabbed:
Alison Bechdel: Invasion of the Dykes to Watch Out For
So I've written twice recently about Alison Bechdel and because they didn't have her latest memoir, I decided to stock up on one of her cartoon strip anthologies. This will be a fast read...
Jenny Erpenbeck: Visitation
Several people have recommended this book to me and I've had it on my list of books to buy for weeks. I plan to hole up this weekend and read this one cover to cover. It's a book about Berlin which should fit in nicely with a lot of the reading I've been doing lately.
Colm Tóibin: The South
One of my favorite writers. I've read just about all of his novels (The Master is one of my all time faves) and all were interesting in their own way. But this one I haven't read which means I have something new to look forward to next week!

Late summer to early fall is my time of year to read international fiction since it's the time of year when I am most aware of what international writers are doing.
Meanwhile, I am still reading Colum McCann's The Dancer. It's a great read so far but no time to read really (I have a hard time reading on airplanes...).
