I bought the pbook of Running With Scissors for my girlfriend and she really loved it. Unfortunately, our reading tastes rarely overlap, but if you're comparing it to Boyle and Irving... I'll have to give it a try.

I also just noticed that they have a Dan Brown bundle (but not special priced) and thought to myself how, if I was nice, I would get the bundle for the same girlfriend; then I realized that that would mean less Reader time for me and came back to my senses.

Sometimes I get tempted to watch/read the hugely popular mainstream books and movies that never really caught my attention, then I change my mind and read/watch something else. I still haven't seen Titanic or read The Da Vinci Code--Running With Scissors may have fallen in that category, but perhaps now it won't...

edit:
Can anyone advise on the Bill Bryson books (eg. A Short History of Nearly Everything)? I've seen the reviews and never remember to look them up at the bookstore, I suspect this title will be one to help use up what is left of my $50 credit before the end of the month.
