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

Some of my favorites:

Cloak of Deception (taking place just prior to Shadow Hunter)
Shatterpoint (focusing on Mace Windu)
Outbound Flight
Yoda: Dark Randezvous (if I spelled that right)

And if you read Labrynth of Evil and then Episode III: Revenge of the Sith it makes for one complete, very good story. You can also add Dark Lord Rising after Episode III, as they all pretty much flow one into the other. It's a very satisfying read.

The Girl Who Played With Fire - Stieg Larsson. Excellent read, left me even hungrier for the final installment!

I've always loved Mace Windu and was stoked that the book focusing on him was so awesome. I loved every second of it! As for the movies, do note that the books are typically better than the movies. Phantom Menace was about on par but with some extra scenes having to do with Anakin that makes it a little better. Attack of the Clones was better because it got into Padme's head more and made the love story more believable. Revenge of the Sith's book was just awesome, TONS better than the movie. Also, Labrynth of Evil is a lead-in to it and they honestly read together like one book. It makes RotS better.

Honestly, your liking of the books will probably vary depending on what characters you like and all that. HERE'S a link to the thread I made while I was listening to them so it might give you an idea of other books you might like. I enjoyed nearly all of them, though some to different degrees.

Everything was fresh in my mind there so it's a more realistic take on what I thought of them. Feel free to read through them. I didn't talk about the Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy there because I apparently forgot and now I don't recall the details, just how I felt about them.

Now I wish I had an MP3 player so I could keep going while at work. I work in a postition with the schools now where I'm alone for nearly 6 hours of my day and the other two hours people don't talk to me. I could get some major Star Wars listening done now!

I recently finished "The Sisters Brothers" by Patrick DeWitt and I loved it. It's a darkly comic Western about two hitmen brothers, but one of them wants to give up the lifestyle, but first they have to do one more job. That sounds quite typical/cliche but it is much better then that description I have just written. At times it's slightly heartbreaking (for me it was anyway) and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I'm about to start reading "The End Specialist" by Drew Magary, which I'm looking forward to.

I think I'll stick to the 3 you posted since I'm liking shatterpoint so much. I read my books an hour or so every night so they should last me a while. What's funny is that I'm not much of a windu fan, I just really enjoy the way this guy writes. The action is fast but read very smooth, like I'm watching it in bullet time.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five. Man, that was fantastic.

Then Christopher Buckley's Boomsday. Hilarious book.

 

[bonoferox]

Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackey The Future of Us

 

[Max J Power]

Nick Hornby's "How To Be Good"

How was it? I love Hornby but I haven't read that one.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

I'm currently reading "In the Company of Ogres" by A. Lee Martinez and, "Wild Wood" by Colin Meloy, both of which I'm really enjoying. I'm also reading this book called "This Dark Endeavor," I haven't committed the author to memory. It's like a prequel to Frankenstein we were giving out free to customers at my job, with victor frankenstein as a teenager discovering alchemy and stuff. it's got an interesting concept, but it doesn't grab me really, I'm just reading it for my step dad so we have something to talk about. oh, and some Tom Clancy novel, that keeps losing me though.

 

[-Catwoman-]

Hienz insu Fenkl's "Memories of My Ghost Brother" is really great if you like the paranormal.

 

[Yurka]

Joe Hill's "Horns". Another truly, twistedly awesome novel. I hate to draw the obvious parallel but his style is like a more demented version of his fathers, which makes for some incredible reads.

 

[ComicChick]

started the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo today

 

[DarkSovereignty]

anybody else read Wild Wood by Colin Meloy?

 

[itsthebatman]

Fevre Dream by George R.R. Martin. Great vampire novel.
Now reading Antony Beevor's D-Day. Loved Stalingrad and Berlin, this is just as good.

Star Wars: Darth Maul - Shadow Hunter by Michael Reaves

Can't really say I liked it as much as the rest of you did ::

Star Wars: Darth Maul - Shadow Hunter by Michael Reaves

yeah, it was pretty lame. have you read Shatterpoint? it just keeps getting better

I have that one on my bookshelf, but never got around to reading it. Glad to hear that it's an improvement.

 

[uniqueweasel]

I, Partridge: We Need To Talk About Alan by Alan Partridge, really funny

 

[JewishHobbit]

Star Wars: Darth Maul - Shadow Hunter by Michael Reaves

Can't really say I liked it as much as the rest of you did ::

I liked it a lot but I also like Darth Maul a lot so that was a bonus for me.

My bias aside Shatterpoint was probably a better book... as was Yoda: Dark Randezvous, Outbound Flight, and Labrynth of Evil followed by Revenge of the Sith.

 

[Victarion]

Serpent Mage by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. Their high fantasy series The Death Gate Cycle > Dragonlance.
