Default Trip to the bookstore

I decided last night that I spend entirely too much time watching TV without really watching and not enough time reading which I greately enjoy when ever I do so.

I kicked the TV out of my room and took a trip over to Borders where there was a buy 4 get 1 free promo.

I basically went by titles or authors I have heard of here.

Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk. I've read Survivor and Lullaby and loved both so hopefully this one will follow suit.

Hell's Angels and Songs of the Doomed by Hunter S. Thompson. I've never read any of his books but people made a big deal with he killed himself so I'm hoping I like him as well. I'm a little worried because it looks like he may have quite a different outlook on the world than me but we'll see.

The Gunslinger by Stephen King. I remember the thread here talking about favorite fictional series and this one got some good reviews by posters I like. I've always like King so this seems like a safe pick.

The Right Nation by John Mickethwait and Adrain Woolridge. Got a good review by George Will who I enjoy reading so I'm sure I'll like this one.

Any opinions on these very much appreciated.
