I really loved the last book I read by Danny Wallace (Friends Like These). I picked it up in Heathrow and thought it was wonderful, especially since he's my age almost exactly. Plus, he's kinda cute:

Ha! I actually read Join Me a couple years ago and really enjoyed it. Thanks!

The new Stephen King short story collection, Just After Sunset.

I must confess, I'm a King virgin. I saw the Rob Lowe TV mini-series of "The Stand" and that's as close to his writing as I've ever come. :(

I'm intrigued. You might should start with The Dead Zone.

Consider "The Littlest Hitler" by Ryan Boudinot, a collection of pretty dark but funny stories.

What kind of books do you like?

A Short History of Nearly Everything
or maybe
The Omnivore's Dilemma
I'm currently in the middle of an excellent novel called The Queen of Bedlam by Robert McCammon
