Everyday eBay: Culture, Collecting and Desire. Its a collection of mostly academic essays about the cultural significance of eBay. Although there is a killer essay by William Gibson in the collection. Although some of the essays get a little too post-moderny for me, most are pretty cool. It really makes you think about buying crap on ebay in a whole new way.

Rose Madder by Stephen King :)
I find it to be more to be one of his Suspenseful Novels :)

I'm glad this was moved, I wanted to put it in books, but it wasn't horror so I didn't. But this is where it belongs :)

My other hobby apart from horror. This book is hopelessly dated (1984), but still a good read.

Just finished Role Models by John Waters. It s about who has influenced him in both his films and life. Its pretty funny, although some parts are sad to. But over all a really good read if your a fan of Waters' work.

So far it's kind of like the show Hoarders in book form. If you like that show, you'll love it! If not its still an interesting read.

NEW YORK BY SUNLIGHT AND GASLIGHT by James McCabe, the actual 1881 edition. Not a history but more of a travel book about one of the world's most important cities written around the time the Statue Of Liberty and the city's railway system were installed. A few slow spots but on the whole fascinating.
