Count me in, and read yourself some Richard Matheson.

(Philip K Dick for those nights when you have more time..lol)

I suggest the first simply because he was a prolific author of short stories, and both because of the success that worthless movie adaptations of their stories have had. If you even got a minor gigle out of any of the flicks, the books are likely to seem brilliant by comparison, as always.
(ah, also, piss off nerd-anything for you.)
