Stephen King - The Stand (unedited version, it's bloomin massive)
William Hope Hodgson - House on the Borderland and other tales.
Stephen Jone (editor) - The Mammoth Book of Vampires (not as painfully bad as it sounds)

@Pale - Eats, Shoots and Leaves was a great book, quite short but very funny (well, it was to me) Highly recommended for anyone else who has ever looked at a sign in a shop window and got mad at the dreadful grammar; anyone that despairs of the dissappearance of the semi-colon (especially in the media)...this book is for you. It is a book about Zero Tolerance for punctuation.
I was not trying to hijack the thread to rave about the book but I wasn't going to start a thread for it. No recent buys today, but I almost did in a sale...
PS - A lot of good choices out there.
PPS - Do you all really buy that many books regularly?

That's why you bark at them and tip them over! Duh! City boys... 
Last book I bought was...."The Warrior-Prophet." Was a gooder!

Just have to ask this (rather than a new thread). I've been thinking hard on what to buy.
My mind is set on Bakker but I'm still afraid that the last book will last ages. I hate waiting for the last piece.
So. My other potential buy was Irvine and his neverness trilogy. Even though the genres are different. Which should I go for?

Night of Knives (cheaper one)
The Worm Ouroboros
The Ghormenghast Trilogy
The Cornelius Quartet (my first Moorcock, chosen on a good recommendation)

I just realised I seem to have bought at least seven books from the Fantasy Masterworks in the last couple of weeks.

Finally, someone who doesn't bash Eddings I have no idea what the first Sparhawk series is called, but I found it entertaining, and the characters were quite amusing as well Although I am wary of trying anything co-written with his wife.
And I didn't buy a book today. I'm a penniless student, what do you expect? I spend all my money on music anyway
