Picked up a nice hardback of THE MURDERER'S COMPANION by William Roughead. This particular edition (1946) has a foreward by Alexander Woollcott.
How about a moderator starting a thread devoted to book purchases and not just books read as I'm sure more members than me are collectors and have a collection they are always building, and making it sticky?

Haven't started anything new yet, still reading CRYPTONOMICOM and THE DELIGHT OF GREAT BOOKS, but as Charles Dickens's 200th birthday is coming up early in February, the 7th I believe, I may interupt my current batch and read something by him. Haven't decided what yet.

What would you consider as Dickens best, besides the obvious ones.
Anyone read anything from Joyce Carol Oates?

I recommend Haunted: Tales of the Grotesque and Zombie. She also has a lot of great work in various anthos. I saw her read in person once. Even at 70, she is chillingly beautiful and her charisma is electric.

Haha, this might sound a bit silly, but I'm reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. It's pretty much a young adult novel, but I quite like it. Also, a compilation of H.P. Lovecraft short stories.
