Does anybody read books here?

I used to read Stephen King all the time in college, until his creative output exceeded my economic income! He just put out book after book, and I couldn't keep up. I got great at picking up his paperbacks at yard sales for a quarter! Then, I sold all those same paperbacks at my own yardsale, read or not. The Stand was my favorite of his.
DH reads sci-fi and fantasy (Friday nights, he's glued to the Sci-Fi channel! ). He's a big HP fan, but I find it rather tiresome and it's all just the same stuff. The movies are good escapist stuff, but even that gets a bit..."Haven't I seen this before?"
I currently have a collection of to-be-read books from what I term the "way-far-away-on-adventures-I'll-never-have" genre: Into Thin Air (mountain climbing), The Hungry Ocean (swordfish fishing), Under the Tuscan Sun (fixing up that dream house in Italy), etc.
p.s. Brandi - I just saw your post...The Hungry Ocean is the Linda Greenlaw book you are referring to about fishing. It was really good - written in response to The Perfect Storm, also a good book. But then, I was involved in the fishing industry up in Gloucester for some time when those books came out, so I had a keen interest in it all! The Lobster Chronicles sounds like somethign I should pick up!
