Not "buy," but I just got a copy of John Hodgman's The Areas Of My Expertise for my birthday.

Newman is slowly re-releasing his back catalog, so I'd say there's a pretty good chance we'll see new editions in the next couple of years.

I bought two 2nd-hand books today:
Adam Bede - George Eliot
I tried to read one of Eliot's novels years ago when I was a teenager - can't remember now if it was Middlemarch or The Mill on the Floss - but didn't get very far with it. I've always meant to try something of hers again, though, and this is the one I've settled on, one of her earlier books. I'll probably read the other two as well, one of these days, unless I end up really disliking AB.
The Magic of Lewis Carroll
Never heard of this before, but picked it up after seeing it at the used bookshop - book of puzzles by Carroll. Looks like fun, and I'd already been planning to re-read the Alice books sometime the next few months, so this should fit in nicely.

My dad got me the new Rick riordan book, mark of athena.
''How do you find someone who has spent a lifetime covering his tracks? For some, he was a guardian angel. To others, a ghost who never quite fit in''
I put a bid on "Neighbors," and I was going to bid on the novelization of "Halloween III," but it was too expensive.
Hippie Cult Murders by Ray Stanley (obviously a rift on the Manson murders) - I like reading the trashy cash in novels written in the 60s and early 70s on the darker aspects of the counterculture, pricey but I hope it's good.
On the non-fiction side, Dario Argento Contemporary Film Directors series. I am hoping to find another Argento book as good as Broken Mirrors/Broken Minds, plus this one focuses on Dario's visual sense which is amazing.
Wake me up when it's over...
The Tenant by Roland Topo
I picked up the David Mack Star Trek novel Cold Equations #2 - Silent Weapons yesterday.
