What's the Last Book You Read/Finished?

[GoblinWhirlwind]

I read From the Corner of His Eye which is an absolutely beautiful book.

Couldn't have said it better myself. It truly is one of his greatest.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

I finally finished In My Skin, the memoir I was reading. Now I finally get to start Dead Until Dark which I bought last week.

 

[Specter313]

Heh, you're just starting the Southern Vampire series, and I just finished the latest book, Dead and Gone, a few days ago.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

Yeah, I got a lot to catch up on. Thankfully I'll have True Blood back soon enough to tide me over while I get through the books.

 

[mongoose-mania]

Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk.

 

[Yurka]

Carrie - Stephen King

 

[The Navigator]

Carrie - Stephen King

Probably his saddest book.

Almost done with We'll Always Have Paris, by Ray Bradbury. He's still got it, but most of the stories here are kind of sentimental feel-goodery.

 

[adhokk7]

Carrie - Stephen King

Probably his saddest book.

I totally agree. It's amazing to me that his universe starts with Carrie and never, in my opinion, gets more poignant.

 

[Sava]

finished read Lee Child's Gone tomorrow, i'm a huge Jack Reacher fan and this latest book was a good one, it takes a while to get going but other than that, i have no complaints.

 

[CFE]

Just Finished:

"American Psycho" - Bret Easton Ellis (for the umpteenth time)

Just Started:

"The American Film Institute Desk Reference: A Complete Guide to Everything you need to know about the movies" - Melinda Corey and George Ochoa (for the 2nd time)

Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay

Decided to check out the book after I was through watching the series (seasons 1 and 2) on DVD. LOVED it!!! There's some differences between book and tv show but I managed to love both equally. However, I must say that I find book Dexter more charming and more witty than tv Dexter.

Currently reading book 2, Dearly Devoted Dexter (2/3 done) and as much as I love the first book, I like this one even more. I had just finished dinner when I picked up the book and I almost threw up when I read the part about the crime scene. Sick.

 

[SsM]

I'm finishing Andromeda Strain tonight and starting City of the Dead.

 

[Maximus One]

Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk.

Just started this recently

 

[Maximus One]

Also recently read The Cobra Effect by Brian Preston (I think) which is an absolutely sick book! The death scenes in it are brutal! Plus its loaded with real science which I love in any book

 

[Jolie_Desastre]

Stardust by Neil Gaimen

I really loved the movie and thought I would pick this up. Similar in ways and very different in others. But I enjoyed both.

Max by James Patterson

After The Final Warning, I had no idea what to expect from this latest installment in the series. I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed it immensely. It did have some of the global warming mumbo jumbo that just about ruined The Final Warning but this time he incorporated it with the plot rather than making it the entire plot. Probably my favorite in the series thus far.

Hunting the Hunter by Shiloh Walker

I'm always a sucker for books dealing with the supernatural. I love it even more when a new author i discover totally makes a genre that has been done over and over in the past and makes it all her own. Will definitely be reading more of this series. Also one of the first books in a long time where I pretty much liked all of the characters.

 

[Dark Victory]

The Road for the second time. I wish I could go back in time and get the regular paperback and not the ****** movie tie-in.

 

[Jolie_Desastre]

anybody else on goodreads btw?

Sandman Volume 9: The Kindly Ones. For the fourth time.

 

[GoblinWhirlwind]

Blood of the Fold, 3rd in the Sword of Truth series

 

[Mr.Webs]

John Lennon: The Life by Philip Norman. Incredible biography...it really humanizes a seemingly unreachable genius. I'll never be able to listen to a Beatles album the same way again...in a good way.

 

[Sawyer]

The Samurai's Garden

 

[CWP]

Man, I think it was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, even though that was months ago... I'm currently reading Isle of Swords and Deadfall but they don't count because I'm not finished with them.
