Yes. And I would recommend hardcover, for the durability, as you'll find yourself looking at it again and again in the wee small hours of the night. Lingering over certain passages and images and such. It is, by far, the most dog eared book I own.

Ivanhoe. Re-read it for the 3rd time. Good lit.

SiRS got me a nice hardcover edition of Emerson's Essays and Poems.
Right now I'm reading Henry Jenkins' "Convergence Culture" and Fred Turner's "From Counterculture to Cyberculture." They're both great.
