I might buy the three books written tied into the game Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. I love the exceprts in the game, and the same guy who worked on that game wrote the books, so.

When Will Jesus Bring The Porkchops? by George Carlin.

Right now I'm reading Wicked. Originally I was put off by how thoroughly unlike the musical it is, which led me to put it down and not pick it back up for a year and a half, but now that I'm reading it I find that it puts the musical to shame. This book is great.
