It by Stephen King. I have been wanting to read some of his work, but never got around to it until recently. It's taking a while to build up, but the plot is fairly interesting.

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court - Mark Twain
I need to read it for class.
The Flowers of Evil - Charles Baudelaire
The Selected Poems of Li Po
ABC of Reading - Ezra Pound
I've started reading a lot more poetry, not only because it's easier to fit a few poems around my assigned reading, but because something's... clicked. I've started to enjoy reading poetry as much, if not more than reading novels. These are the poets that have caught my interest recently.
This thread is broken for me. Stuck on page 98.
At Home, by Bill Bryson
As with my previous purchase (Hey Rube, by Hunter S. Thompson) I don’t think I really need an excuse to buy a book that was written by one of my favorite authors.
At Home may be a good choice for members of this web-site, since there seems to be lots of us from North America and lots from the other side of the pond. You see, Bryson speaks both languages.
In Our Time Ernest Hemingway
Purchased E-Book for my Nook in response to a suggestion by Sancho as a Hemingway warm up to Farewell to Arms
complete works of Robert Browning, I have only read a few of his poems and the book was on sale
Ironweed by William Kennedy.
It seemed to be the most interesting book on the shelf.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.
I always wanted to have that book and bought it for myself as a birthday present. There are some books that you can borrow from the library and there are others you want to see on your own shelf. This is one such book.
A book of Dashiell Hammett short stories for Dave for Christmas.
I just bought 'Dubliners' by Joyce because I have been planning to read it for a while and it was cheap.
I also bought 'Doctor Who and Philosophy, bigger on the inside' with a bunch of essays about the good Doctor. I bought it because I finished the series and I want to have something to pass the time 'till he appears on the screen again. Also my excuse is that I plan to write my B.A thesis about something sci-fi related so I NEED a lot of books like this...
Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin
The Complete Short Stories by Saki
The Berlin Novels by Christopher Isherwood

Midnight's Children by Salman Rusdie. E-book for a Nook. Purchsaed in order to take part in the Man Booker Award February reading. Unfortuantely I was not able to finish by the end of last month. I'm on page 225 of 500+ pages.
.
Plays - Anton Chekhov (Penguin Classics ebook). I've never read him before and I want to read more plays (and it was a good price so I just couldn't say no!).
Land of Wooden Gods ~ Jan Fridegard: Because Amazon thought I would like him since I bought some Vilhelm Moberg and it sounded quite interesting.
Conquered City ~ Victor Serge: Because I love Victor Serge
Evelina ~ Frances Burney
The Street of Crocodiles and Other Stories ~ Bruno Schulz : Both were more Amazon recommendations.
The Sheltering Sky to read with Qimi's reading group. It looks like an awesome book.
