What's your latest book purchase?

There's a thread for DVDs, so why not books? :)

A couple days ago I ordered The Most of P.G. Wodehouse. Still waiting for it to arrive.

I've never read any of his writing, but I've seen Wodehouse referenced a whole lot so I'm curious. The reviews of the book on Amazon make it sound pretty hilarious.

What's your latest purchase(s)?

Super Cannes, by J G Ballard. I'm going through something of a Ballard phase at the moment.

Ray Bradbury - Fahrenheit 451
Philip K. Dick - Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
Robert A. Heinlein - Starship Troopers
Stephen King - Songs of Susannah

All at once I might add.

I haven't touched it yet. I'm being tormented by a couple other books I just can't seem to make it through.

I found a book exchange shop just down the road from me recently and it's very hard not to go a bit nuts in there. Been having little book buying sprees.
