Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller...although I didn't technically buy it, it was a very thoughtful gift.
the luminous grass of the prairie hides
feet lovely and still as sleeping doves,
porcelain bones strong enough to carry a life,
but weighty and unmovable
As black Dakota hills. ~ Riesa
"Beauty and the Beast" Vocal Selections
The book made for the movie "Sweeney Todd"
Yes, I know they aren't "story" books, but they are still books, nonetheless!
I bought another Lawrence's book - "The Plumed Serpent". I was browsing a new book shop I stumbled on and I just saw it on the bookshelf, so i decided to buy it

In a similiar vein are the newest additions to my library, one being an EXTREMELY thoughtful gift...just look at the thoughtful inscription: "devastation has never been so beautiful"
Independent People ~ By Halldor Laxness

I almost bought The God Delusion By Richard Dawkins. I saw it in the book store the other day. Upon closer examination I found that I forgot my wallet, so I didn't get it after all.

Just bought a few days ago, 'The Brothers Karamazov' (woohoo finally found it), 'The Name of the Rose', 'The Golden Notebook' and the 'Dubliners'.
Does it count if they're not literature? I'd received some money for X-mas and decided to get some books. It's a relatively small list, but it was a pretty good chunk of change:
A Brief History of Time
The Practical Geologist
Restless Skies
The 50 Best Sights in Astronomy and How to See Them
Astronomy for Dummies
My birthday is next month and I'm planning on at least getting the complete works of Robert Frost and Edgar Allen Poe.
I just bought
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce
and
The Age of Innocence by Edith Whorton
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
Just got the rest of my textbooks. The Penguin Anthology of American Literature, vol. 2; Milton: Major Works; The Bedford Anthology of World Literature vol 1 - The Ancient World; Blackwell Annotated Anthology of Seventeenth Century Poetry
which courses are those? I'd like that class.
"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."
