I didn't like James Blaylock's Lord Kelvin's Machine as well as his later The Rainy Season by it wasn't horrible either. It's science fiction as opposed to fantasy, however the science was just skimmed over and the time travel mentioned on the cover only happened at the very end of the book. Not horrible, but I wouldn't bother rereading it.

50 Simple Things You Can Do to Improve Your Personal Finances by Ilyce Glink had a few tips I'll try to put in place. Most of the stuff was pretty obvious though.

Art Spiegelman's In the Shadow of No Towers was worth a read. Not as good (or as long) as Maus by a nice take on 9/11. My biggest problem though is that the format (huge sized cardboard) was really hard to read.
