Worth the cover price?

First, a little background about my reading habits. Despite having a Masters in English (which normally deprives a person of any ability to read for fun and enjoyment), I love to read almost anything. I go through stages in what I choose to read and am always open to suggestions. I refuse to read horror stories, mysteries, or suspense because I am a huge coward with a very active imagination (ie nightmares). As for science fiction, well let's just say I have a hard time suspending disbelief. Translated, I read is current fiction/literature, old stuff from dead white guys, and an occasional biography which reads like fiction. These reviews are just for fun and remember: It's my opinion so it's right. What I'm currently reading will have a non-linked title and author.
