"The Earth Dwellers" adventures in the land of ants by Erich Hoyt.
It's about ants, obviously.
Easy to read and fascinating.
A good introduction to Myrmecology as well as an exciting adventure story.

My backs out and I have the chance to read the Incredible Hulk.

Thats right the ENTIRE collection. (except of course 181 $ $)

Thats over 40 years worth. I'm not sure if I'm up to it . . . .

The Watchman by Robert Crais.

I'm not so sure about this one. I've loved the rest of his books, and I like how this one has a lot of back story that wasn't there before, but the POV change is kind of harsh, and the main girl absolutely annoys the heck out of me. I keep hoping they'll kill her (which kind of makes me feel guilty), but no luck yet. (I know they won't; I skipped ahead to the end just to check that it wasn't going to end like I thought it would (because if it did, I wasn't reading it anymore); sort of, but far enough off that it's ok.)

It tends to be the female characters that annoy me. There are very few mystery novels with a main female character that I don't mind.

"Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs" by Chuck Klosterman. It's a pop-culture essay collection. Fantastic book.

I'm also rereading "A Confederacy of Dunces" by John Kennedy Toole. Great book.
