I am currently rereading "It"...like "The Stand", I agree with SnP, I read each of them about once a year. I am pretty pumped, because W.E.B. Griffin has a relatively new series, and he has returned to the "Men at War" series, with an assist from his son.

I don't know, novels, stories, dramas and such are not really appealing to me. I'm more like an information cruncher. I really enjoy reading wikipedia for instance (with a huge grain of salt). Kinda weird that I'm hooked with the least imaginable subject at the moment by undefined circumstances, it thrills me and then when I've had my share of it I change to another stuff.
That's how I ended up reading that last non-science book (Memories of my melancholy whores by García Márquez), went down for breakfast and on my way out I saw it on the living room. I checked the back-cover, thought I would read a bit of it and then when I last knew I had read it all.
Weird huh?

I never did get around to the discworld series. Is it any good? I always heard it was more of a young adult reader.
I just need to pick up Dune again.

OMG, there's a new version out now. DON'T WATCH IT. It's like the unauthorised director's cut that someone did without David Lynch's approval. Ack! Has this really *really* cheesey David Attenborough beginning. Bah, I say. Bah.

BoP,
I managed to replace the last three Dune books for a mere $1.50US. SWEET!

My Year of Meats - Ruth L. Ozeki
The Last Days of Dogtown - Anita Diamant
Reading Lolita in Tehran - Azar Nafisi
Courting Disaster - Julie Edelson
My Life on a Plate - India Knight
The Mermaid Chair - Sue Kidd Monk (I may already have this)
The Love Wife - Gish Jen
The Women of Brewster Place - Gloria Naylor
Labyrinth - Kate Mosse
The Five People You Meet in Heaven - Mitch Albom

Saint Maybe - Anne Tyler
A Patchwork Planet - Anne Tyler
Ladder of Years - Anne Tyler
Girl in Hyacinth Blue - Susan Vreeland
The God of Small Things - Arundhati Roy
Life of Pi - Yann Martel (I will be reading this first as it sounds completely and utterly ridiculous but won a ton of awards so I am curious)
Plus 11 James Michener titles:
Chesapeake
Texas
Alaska
The Source
Poland
Caribbean
Miracle in Seville
Mexico
The Covenant
Creatures of the Kingdom
Legacy
And finally, I grabbed a copy of The Virgin's Lover by Philippa Gregory even though I currently have 2 copies. It is my June book for book club and I plan on passing on the 2 extra copies to members of the group.
Oh! And I'd say 80% of these are hardback.
