Here's what I got:

The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan (loved the movie and figured the book MUST be better)
The Road by Cormac McCarthy (who doesn't love a post-apocalyptic survival story?)
Killing Yourself to Live by Chuck Klosterman (enjoyed his Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs)
Chuck Klosterman IV by Chuck Klosterman (same as above)
Hardcore Diaries by Mick Foley (read his first autobio and liked it)
Every Tongue Got to Confess by Zora Neale Hurston (loved Their Eyes Were Watching God)

Altogether, I only ended up paying only $1.10 out of my own pocket. The Mick Foley book was almost twice as expensive as everything else, so I could have had another book or two... I was very tempted to add Steven Pinker's The Blank Slate to my order, but I didn't feel like giving the CONNECT store any more revenue.

I haven't mentioned any Classics because I believe they don't expire tonight (but I may be wrong). In any case, no worries as I'm pretty sure 100% of them are available at gutenberg.org.

So what did everyone else get?
