I plan on reading The Stand, and One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich next. Oh, and Metro 2033.

P&P&Z was something I saw in the bookstore. Picked it up to kill time while waiting in line for Toy Story 3.

As for My Tank is Fight!, I'm a history buff, and World War 2 is my favorite. Reading about failed wacky experiments? had me begging to borrow this from my buddy.
