They have these in the Sci-Fi and movie forums so why not:

Any new or exciting books coming up in the next few months or so? Or do you just want to promote a newly released favourite?

Post them here! Then review them afterwards if you want!
[/cheesymode]

I'll start off:
  • Cell - Stephen King.
  • Bigger than Christ - Rik Mayall

Good idea! I'm really looking forward to reading "The Cell." I was worried when Stephen King announced a while back that he was no longer going to publish his works (he was tired of the book promotion tours) so I'm very happy to see he didn't follow through on that.

"Not Buying It" by Judith Levine looks pretty good. I read a blurb about it in this week's Entertainment Weekly.

Here's a good article concerning new books coming out this Spring:

Novels range from outstanding to insufferable
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10839981/

quote:
Blog ‘Days’
Numerous publishing companies now have published books by authors who were discovered via their Weblogs. But there needs to be an edict: Do not allow said writers to write about Weblogs. Urge them to use the creativity that presumably attracted a publisher in the first place and stretch their imaginations, move out of the blog world and set their plot somewhere (anywhere) else.

New Salem's lot

quote:
With two new stories and updated text, this definitive illustrated edition of "Salem's Lot" contains two new stories relating to the novel and updated text throughout. Upon its initial publication in 1975, "Salem's Lot", with its 'intended echoes of Dracula'. was recognized as a landmark work. The novel has sold millions of copies in various editions. Now, with the addition of fifty pages of material deleted from the 1975 manuscript as well as material that has since been modified by King, an introduction by him, and two short stories related to the events of the novel, this edition represents the text as the author envisioned it. It also features lavishly creepy photographs by acclaimed photographer Jerry Uelsmann, printed interior endpapers, and a stunning page design.
