What Books Have You Recently Purchased?

I love books, when Ive got the time to sit down and read them. I just love words on a page as it's evident by the fact that I was editor of my high school's newspaper and I was a Journalism Major whilst in college. I was working on a thriller for a while until work, church, and AD consumed my free time (nothing bad about it, ;) )
I havent purchased any books recently but here's the list of books I have read thus far:
Body Language - James W. Hall
Mary, Mary - James Patterson
The Big Bad Wolf - James Patterson
Cross - James Patterson
The Testament - John Grisham
Bleachers - John Grisham

Book of the Dead - Patricia Cromwell
Lifegaurd - James Patterson with Andrew Gross

Yea, I read one of her book once but not till I was older. Mostly my mom gave me books on Judy Blume. She won't let read anything like Jackie Collins when I was in early teens. I know why later on when I got older. Too much sex and fame...

AH yes yes,, I remember that book Outsiders and Rumble Fish.. good books of the 80 s and the movies they made from the book. It pretty good!
 
Recently bought Eggers' What Is The What (soooo good), Palahniuk's Rant and pre-ordered Dan Harrington's Harrington on No-Limit Cash Games
 
If were to purchase a book today to read I would probably get The Appeal by John Grisham or even possibly The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet - I have another one of his books laying around but have yet to read it.
