I raided my favorite thriftstore yesterday and bought a dozen or so books for under $20. I'm going on a trip this week and need to be well stocked.
I thought I'd give Clive Barker a try, as I have enjoyed several of his short stories. So far, both novels I started of his seriously suck. There's no atmosphere whatsoever, and the gore is uninspired and boring.
Of course, both were written in the '80's, so perhaps he's improved since then? Any thoughts?
I also snagged a collection of short stories by Joyce Carol Oates published in 2001. God, I love her.

I can't read...
because I keep going over, and over and over...my own novel, wondering if I should have done this or that before I allowed it to be published. Help!

The Communist Manifesto by Marx and Engels. Again. I rather enjoy it. I'm thinking of reading Thomas Paine's The Rights of Man next.

The Rule of Four, by Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason. It's a mediocre thriller, readable, but not better than that.
I've recently finished Koko by Peter Straub. The book is dark enough for my taste, but far longer than necessary.

Because you guys talked me into it (it was mentioned in the Books to Recommend thread): Sunshine by Robin McKinley. I've read about three quarters so far, and I love it.

Yay!
I'm reading Choke by Chuck Palahniuk, and since its Chuck Palahniuk, I'm finding it extremely entertaining.
