What's the Last Book You Read/Finished?

Evermore by Alyson Noel

 

[Yurka]

Just finished The Tommyknockers by Stephen King. Awesome

 

[adhokk7]

Not read that one yet. I've just picked up Less Than Zero and then I'll give it a go. It's a prominent theme in American Psycho, too.

This may seem odd or inconsistent or maybe even stupid, but while It is my favorite Stephen King book, I consider The Shining to be his best book. I can try to explain the difference if you like, but it's of little consequence here. The reason I point it out is because of a similar dynamic with Ellis. American Psycho is my favorite Ellis book, but I think Less Than Zero is his best book. Looking forward to reading your thoughts on it.

The Time Machine- H.G. Wells. I have to reread this one every so often because of its greatness.

Agreed, it's really well-done. If you're into dystopic fiction, I'd recommend Zamyatin's We.

I re-read Animal Farm in one sitting a few months back. Orwell never ceases to impress me, although I still haven't tackled Homage to Catalonia which has been on my shelf for quite some time.

His essays are also fascinating reads.

I don't see why everyone hated Animal Farm back in high school--it was the easiest read and the clearest message. Fantastic on so many levels.

Agreed. I encountered it first in 6th grade and again in 9th, enjoyed it both times. It's a great read, especially as a way to introduce readers to ideas of symbolism and the allegory.

I'm currently reading My Horizontal Life by Chelsea Handler

it's very interesting and fun so far

i finally finished this tonight. It was a fun read. It's very lighthearted and funny and a quick read. It's something I could pick up a couple of minutes at a time, read a quick chapter in my free time. I actually laughed out loud at a couple parts.

for any girl going through guy troubles, its very fun to read of someone who has had worse lol

 

[ComicChick]

The Rachel Morgan Series. It's like a mystery series except dealing with the supernatural. It's pretty fun and interesting, but that one, the 5th book, got me teary eyed .

I've been wanting to pick up one of Chelsea Handler's book. I watch her show from time to time.

you should.

i want Are You There Vodka? It's Me Chelsea. The other day i almost bought it from Barnes and Noble until i saw the 25.00 price tag

i might pick it up from Amazon (or Ebay) next payday

Dune by Frank Herbert

I enjoyed it, especially the realpolitik parts. Didn't like how it took me three months to finish it, what with my reading it on-and-off; before, I'd burn through a book per week. But that's more my fault than the book's, which really deserves all the praises it received.

I have the .txt version of Dune Messiah on my DS (ahem), but I doubt the reading experience will be pleasing to the eye, tiny texts on a little screen and all, so I'll probably end up buying the book, anyway, though not too soon. I'm giving the heavyweight books a rest for now and focusing on the lighter ones, so as to get back my momentum, and what better candidates than my Discworld books I've hoarded last year--Feet of Clay has been very accommodating so far. That this will be my last Guards book is unfortunate, but the myriad other Discworld books I've yet to explore will keep me company, and I can always reread the Guards books. Looking forward to it.

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.

Still hauntingly relevant after all these years.

Yep Barnes and Noble always has a great selection but damn their prices suck

let me know how it is. I'll pick up My Horizontal Life next time I'm at McKay's if they have it. You honestly get the best deals there.
