Is it just me, or is he more high profile and recognizable ever since Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads, etc? (Well I guess it only makes sense!)

... I have these in paperback, but they're beat-up. I know next time I go back to the store these books will be gone. It's funny because some of the books just sit there on the shelf for a good while, but the Stephen Kings are snapped-up quick. Haha I've actually seen a couple people look at the books in my hand, and get kind of bummed-out that I got to them first.

All hardbacks, bought within the past couple days. I'm addicted more then I was when I first started collecting now. Especially with all of the deals online now. I need to try a thrift store ASAP but it's still hard to stray away from all these good deals online!
Yes I picked one up too. What did you think. I enjoyed the essay.I just picked up the newest edition of Tin House (Volume 15, Number 3) which has a short non fiction piece called "The Ring"
Yo, you are amassing quite the collection, friend! Good work!All in hardcover for $1.79 each;
Rose Madder
Desperation
Four Past Midnight

Such a pretty book! It's worth whatever you pay for it. This edition was actually one of three leather-bound books included in a slipcased collection that had two other authors in it, one was Robert Ludlum and I can't remember who the other author was. I found my own King edition at a thrift store. Love it!Found this nice leatherbound at Half Price books, unsure of its worth. ..
