What's the Last Book You Read/Finished?

[GoblinWhirlwind]

Dinosaur Fantastic


One more book to finish and then I'm starting the SoT series over.

 

[Addendum]

Finally finished Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. Excellent book.

I'm starting on Last and First Men by Olaf Stapledon

 

[Lasirius]

The Dice Man by Luke Rhinehart.

Definitely one of my favorites

 

[Aurume]

Jean Rabe: The Rebellion.

 

[Sloth7d]

I'm currently reading NEVERWHERE by Neil Gaiman. Can someone please tell me that the protagnist grows a personality later in the story.

 

[[A]]

"The Talented Mr. Ripley" by Patricia Highsmith.

 

[LEX]

American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis

I... don't know what to think about this book. Tedious read at parts, especially all the brand names and album reviews, though it did very well demonstrated how so banal and robotic life for Bateman was that it drove him to commit acts of total ****edupness. That it's very well written is not in question; all the run-on sentences were awesome and flowed on to the next clause fluidly. Would I read it again? Probably, but only in disordered chunks.

 

[BestGirl]

Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Made a Nation by John Carlin. Definitely an entertaining read, though the praise of Mandela went over-the-top at times. Definitely makes me want to see Invictus.

Wow, at least you were able to finish that book. I got half way through and put it in the garbage.

Translated you can't find many books in english here (well, cheap books that is)

I'm sure it would be really difficult and tiring for you, too. I could read short articles in Spanish pretty well but I couldn't understand half of the novella I had to read for Spanish class.

..and there's no google translating add-on when you're reading a book!
