What's the Last Book You Read/Finished? - Part 1 Page 1 Chapter 1 Paragraph 1 Line 1

[JewishHobbit]

The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

Yes!!!!!


I just finished Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Terry Pratchett and Niel Gaiman this morning. I'm not really into humorous books (such as Terry Pratchett's Discworld series) but I really enjoyed this.

I blogged about it. It's my first ever blog review if anyone wants to read it. The link is in my sig.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

Yeah, I love Neil Gaiman, but I've found Terry Pratchett's books a little hard to get into. Good Omens was good though. I just love how abstract neil gaiman gets with his narrative, especially with supernatural characters like the four horsemen.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Yeah, I'm guessing it was Gaiman's involvement that made me like this so much. I've read the first two Discworld books and then Mort and I just get bored of them. I got a little bored toward the middle of Good Omens but not enough to stop reading and it quickly picked back up again.


By the way, your avatar has a scrotum... just so you know

 

[Yodaman]

Yes!!!!!

t: I'll definitely be re-reading a lot more Tolkien over the next several months/couple of years.


Standards of Living in the Later Middle Ages by Christopher Dyer

 

[hopefuldreamer]

Just finished 'To Kill a Mockingbird' on my mother's insistance, and I didn't think it was something i'd enjoy... but I really loved it. The character's are just so addictive

 

[Ash J. Williams]

Counter-Clock World - Philip K. Dick

 

[DarkSovereignty]

Yeah, I'm guessing it was Gaiman's involvement that made me like this so much. I've read the first two Discworld books and then Mort and I just get bored of them. I got a little bored toward the middle of Good Omens but not enough to stop reading and it quickly picked back up again.


By the way, your avatar has a scrotum... just so you know

actually it's a Rorschach test...somebodies got scrotum's on the braint:. but actually it's a symbol from the kingdom hearts franchise. what was the first discworld book? I started reading the color of magic, but I felt like I had missed something, maybe I skipped a few books?

 

[SuperT]

Just finished the entire Hunger Games series. So amazing!

 

[JewishHobbit]

Kingdom Come: The Final Victory by Tim Lahaye and Jerry B. Jenkins

I liked it. I LOVED the Left Behind series when I was a teenager and only just now got around to reading this one-book sequel and was worried I wouldn't like it as much. I'm in a different place spiritually than I was then but I ended up loving it anyhow. It was very tedious and preachy in the beginning but it got better and is a great secondary conclusion to the series.

Now to eventually read the prequel trilogy or to reread and finish the KIDS series. I made it more than halfway through the KIDS series when it was new and it was just as good as the main series. I don't remember why I stopped reading.

Star Trek Enterprise: Kobayashi Maru by Michael A. Martin and Andy Mangels

 

[JewishHobbit]

What was the first discworld book? I started reading the color of magic, but I felt like I had missed something, maybe I skipped a few books?

That was it. Color of Magic was the start and it was continued into a second book (I forget the title). Neither were really that good in my opinion. Mort was better than those two and I hear his more recent stuff is much better.

A friend keeps recommending Thud! so I'll likely read that one at some point.

The Sunset Limited by Cormac McCarthy

 

[BigSams50]

Darth Maul - Shadow Hunter by Michael Reaves

 

[JewishHobbit]

Loved Shadow Hunter! Of the Prequel era (which is all I've read) that's in a 3-way tie for my favorite.

 

[BigSams50]

I really enjoyed it. When i first got it, i didnt relaize that Obi Wan was in that. That was a pleasant Surprised

 

[Max J Power]

Drive by James Sallis

Good, fast-moving, pulpy crime novel.

 

[JewishHobbit]

I really enjoyed it. When i first got it, i didnt relaize that Obi Wan was in that. That was a pleasant Surprised

I've read about 99% of the novels chronologically between Cloak of Deception and Return of the Jedi. For me, Shadow Hunter is tied with Yoda: Dark Rendezvous and Shatterpoint. I forget the title but the book that led into Revenge of the Sith was really good too.

I forget names but the robot who was friends with the main character and sent off to find his son... that plot is followed up on in later Michael Reeves Star Wars books. I've read the Med-Star duology and liked it there but haven't read the main series that it leads to. I'll be doing that eventually.

I-5YQ I believe was the name of the robot. And i havent read many SW novels as i would have liked. The only ones i have read are Shadow Hunter and Shadows of the Empire. But i want to check out a few more

 

[redhawk23]

Robopocalypse- which needs to change its name to Robocalypse when Spielberg makes the film.

It was ok. More than a few shades of World War Z, but over all it was entertaining. A few truly terrifying moments thrown in for good measure.

 

[tzarinna]

The Walking Dead vol 11 & 12.

Shadows of the Empire didn't wow me much but most of the Prequel era books were pretty good in my opinion. I had a thread about it about a year ago give or take. I listened to them via audio book while at work (I'm a janitor) in chronological order. It was really enjoyable.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Just finished Pirate Latitudes by Michael Crichton.

Wrote a review of it in my blog which is linked in my sig.

 

[ComicChick]

almost halfway through The Best of Us by Nicholas Sparks. should be finished by week's end, if not sooner

 

[JewishHobbit]

I'm curious how that one is. It sounds good but I'm kinda Nicholas Sparks'd out at the moment. I can only take his books in sperts.

I want to read more of the prequel books. Do you have any recommendations?
