I have all the Haruhi novels in hardcover. I've not read the most recent, but I've read the others. I may go back and revisit them at some point as it's been years since I read the early ones/watched the anime.

Phew, finished off The Surprise of Haruhi Suzumiya last night. Definitely glad I read them. It definitely went through highs and lows, Sigh was a chore and Intrigues went through a lull in the middle. The entire story arc from Dissociation to Surprise was truly excellent though, and right up there with Disappearance as the peak of the series.

I'm trying to stagger my reading of the Haruhi novels as when I read the 2nd one strait after the first I found it too 'samey' and it kind of dampened a lot of what makes them such enjoyable reads - when I came back to the third one after a long time away, it really reminded me of all the little phrases and general tone that makes them so good. I'm looking forward to the later ones though, for sure.
