Just finished the last in Koji Suzuki's Rings novels, The Loop.  Very entertaining. 

I don't know if I want to go for literary or non-literary next.  I think I'll let the books at the Salvation Army near my work decide for me, eh?  If not, I'll probably get a Nathanael West book or something.  Or Niven.  I don't know.

I picked up another Discworld book, Lords and Ladies. Since it was all I found and I had no cash I padded my purchase with a few classics, A Tale of Two Cities, Dracula, and Last of the Mohicans.

Another small book score. This one might bring out the inner jealousy of Shadow as I just keep stockpiling this author's books!

First off, Shadowrun. I picked up Who Hunts the Hunter, its brand new.

DISCWORLD! Yes, more Discworld. I got 3 books in this series today. Maskerade, Thud!, and The Fifth Ele...

Ah yes The Count of Monte Cristo, one of the most noted revenge epics in Western literature. I picked up an unabridged edition-- about 1100 pages-- a few years back, and got about halfway through before I gave up because I had a hell of a time following every little detail.

I think I'll take another crack at it one day. But first, I'll pick up a Cliffs Notes guide so I can better keep up with all the subplots and exposition.

Myself, I recently picked up...

Though it's not the playbook edition with DVD pictured here.

After leafing through it at a local goodwill, I found it interesting enough to buy and read. So far I've learned a whole lot about the ol' gridiron than I ever knew before.

Found a bunch of R.L Stine books at one sale, among other things:

^I sold my Goosebumps collection just last year and I'm already starting to regret it. I friggin love RL Stine but they were just sitting there in the closet so I decided to get some funds out of them. I did the same with my Series of Unfortunate Events collection I found for 50 cents each. Great profit but I kind of wanted to read them eventually. There's always PDF files if I'm really itching for em I guess.

I still have a bunch of them laying around.

It's one of those complete guides to the show, it has character bios, artwork, plot summaries, song lyrics, forwards by Lauren Faust and two of the writers, and little facts and bits of commentary from the staff. There's a map in there to. I really need to get around to reading it in detail. I'm happy with I saw flicking though it a little though.
