Weird books you bought mostly out of curiosity, not because of a pregress interest in the contents.

It's an early '60s anthology of sci-fi short stories from Brazilian writers.

I don't even like science fiction, but since this was R$1 I bought it anyway. It's quite amusing too, in a ridiculous, dated way.

And yours, man. What's that about?

Outdated, provinciale science fiction is a blast. I have a few cyberpunk books written in Italy in the eighties, the way they try to localize the inherently English and/or Japanese words of the genre is incredibly amusing.

My book is the originale version (plus translation, notes and commentary) of a book published in Venice circa 1499, whose title roughly translates to "The Erotic Dream Battle of Poliphilius" - it's a but like the Divine Comedy rewritten by Pynchon.
