february
For February's meeting of the London BiblioGoths we shall be reading Anatole France's
Revolt of the Angels
Other editions:
Revolt of the Angels
Revolt of the Angels
An edition bundled with some other books
Meeting place the usual (upstairs at the Castle, immediately outside Farringdon tube), meeting time 14:00 (to start talking at 15:00), and meeting date: 3rd February, 2008.
Other Stuff:
Suggestions of books included Yukio Mishima - The Sailor Who Fell From Grace with the Sea.
I would suggest The Bridge of Birds by Barry Hughart, but despite a few second-hand copies available on Amazon, it doesn't seem to be in print in this country at the moment.
Here's what I could find:
Corgi edition
Ballantine Books
Following the discussion of mathematical fiction, Flatland, a book written in 1884 about life in a two-dimensional world. I found out about it while looking up non-Euchlidean geometry a few years back, and apparently it's been turned in to two films in 2007 alone. Being such an old book, it's long out of copyright so there are a plethora of editions of this cult book:
Dover Publications edition
Oxford University Press edition
I'm not sure whether to suggest it as a BiblioGoth book or not...
