What's the Last Book You Read/Finished?

[Special Bear]

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (finally). Of course, after that, I just had to get The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, which I'm reading and thoroughly enjoying at the moment. Vogon poetry sounds terrifying.

Before THGTTG, it was Men at Arms, which rocked, so of course I bought Feet of Clay along with TRATEOTU, as well as Dune, The Bourne Identity, and The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision, and a good one, it seems.

My Life Without God by William Murray

William Murray was the son of Madelyn Murray O'Hair, very prominant atheist (and radical) who was responsible for the removal of prayer in public schools.

Quite an interesting book, though got very irritating near the end when his conversion starts and his attack on atheism begins. Not to mention the blaming of all of his horrible actions on his mother and her atheism.

 

[Mrh7448]

Fluke by Christopher Moore.

Definitely good for a laugh

Baudolino by Umberto Eco

This was my first book by Eco and I wasn't impressed. The story idea wasn't bad, but the execution was too heavily laden with buckets of boring. I hear good things about some of his other books, though, so I'll give those a try...sometime.

 

[Jolie_Desastre]

Oedipus Rex by Sophocles

 

[Addendum]

The Age of Reason by Thomas Paine

 

[adhokk7]

Skipping Christmas by John Grisham, an obvious sign that I have too much time on my hands.

 

[mongoose-mania]

The Fourth Deadly Sin by Lawrence Sanders.

 

[Dark Victory]

The Road by Cormac McCarthy

 

[percoset]

American Gods

I finished these books in the last week or so.

Nine Kingdoms Book 1 - Lynn Kurland
The Time Traveler's Wife - Audrey Niffenegger
Dresden Files Stormfront - Jim Butcher
Animal Farm - George Orwell
Replay - Kevin Grimwood

 

[The Navigator]

American Psycho, by Bret Easton Ellis.

 

[union_jak]

The King's Fifth by Scott O'Dell

Felt like a rushed ending to what was a good book.

 

[Arcturus]

Red Mars

- Kim Stanley Robinson

 

[WompuM]

Just finished World War Z, am now reading All The President's Men. Both are good, but in quite different ways. One is about flesh eating humans spreading and taking over the entire country, and one is about zombies.

 

[GoblinWhirlwind]

^^^ World War Z was awesome.





Finished The Last Days of Krypton last night.

 

[Eggyman]

No Country For Old Men

Brilliant. I am now officially a fan of Cormac McCarthy. The dialogue is just amazing - he really has an ear for it.

 

[K.B.]

John Leguizamo :Pimps, hos, playa hateas and all the rest of my hollywood friends.

Friggin awesome and funny as hell.

 

[Alexia Dark]

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson.

Ok, so technically it's more of a novella, but it's damn good now that I understand it better. *sigh* I am obsessed.

 

[danoyse]

I just finished reading the Twilight series. They were laughably bad.

I started The Road earlier this week, and I'm nearly finished with it. Excellent book.
