Last time me and my husband went to Half Priced Books we had a strange enough combination of books that the checker shook his head and told us that we had the strangest combination of books he had ever seen.

Here's what we had:
Cheney: The Untold Story of America's Most Powerful and Controversial Vice President by Stephen F. Hayes
I Am America (And So Can You!) by Stephen Colbert
Capitalism & Freedom: A leading economist's view of the proper role of competitive capitalism by Milton Friedman
U.S. Special Forces: A Guide to America's Special Operations Units
Give Me A Break by John Stossel (Co-Anchor of ABC's 20/20)
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Amazing Sex
The Rock Says... by the Rock and Joe Layden


The only books that were mine were the last two, but I want to see what Colbert has to say one day. He's funny XD

Aside from the Dilbert book that combination doesn't seem all that odd. They're all gothic in some form or another.

Last week I went into my local Waterstones and bought:
The Ode Less Travelled: Unlocking the poet within by Stephen Fry
and
Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K. Hamilton.

The guy at the desk said that it seemed an odd combination to buy, horror and poetry, haha.

I tried SO hard to get into the Wintersmith by Terry Pratchett, but I just couldn't get into it at all.
My father bought it for me as a present a few years ago, when it was a new release, and because it was a present I've tried like 10 times to get into it, but never made it past the first chapter.
