    The Last Book You Read, etc, etc

    (Sorry if this thread has been done before, but I searched and I couldn't find it - if it has been done before, please lock this thread or whatever is necessary).

    Hello, everyone. I'm going to ask simply what was the last book you've read completely, the book you're currently reading and what is currently your favourite book. So yeah, what is it? Feel free to include a book that is more of a compilation of novels or novellas.

    The last book I read was Ryu Murakami's "Audition" (that was adapted into a film by Takashi Miike); the book I'm currently reading is H.P. Lovecraft's The Mountains Of Madness (in the Necronomicon collection) and my favourite book currently is Anthony Burgess' "A Clockwork Orange" - albeit, the lexical field of the book is challenging to get the grip on, but I found it highly rewarding, more so than the film adaptation, and that's difficult to admit for somebody who loved both versions.

      Re: The Last Book You Read, etc, etc

      I like this thread :]

      My favorite book is Gathering Blue by Louis Lowry [I think, don't hold me to that]. I stumbled upon it at a book fair when I was young, read it once, and I completely fell in love with it. It's has an older style setting and older style struggles, but you can really get into this book.

      I think Gathering Blue was also the last book I read too. I've read it soo many times :]

      Unfortunately not reading anything at the moment :/ haven't found anything interesting lately.

          The last book I read was Ptolemy's Gate in the Bartimaeus Trilogy. Such a good set of books!
          The next book I'm planning on reading the The Towers of Midnight, in the WOT series, I bought it way back when it came out, but I haven't managed to read it yet because of school.

              I just read The Lovely Bones. Well i read it before, but only halfway. IT'S REALLY GOOD THOUGH. Alice Sebold writes interesting books.
              I did an abc book report on it. Watch the movie too if you haven't seen it.

                  Though I've told you this before. .I've read and am reading again "The Catcher in the Rye". I think that book is amazing and really well written. Kind of turning what is shown as so great in society and turning it on it's head, with a load of twists and turns. Probably my favourite.

                      I finished reading Heat Lightning by John Sandford a few nights ago. The beginning and middle weren't anything special, but the ending picked up and I flew through the last third of the book.

                      I'm currently reading The Pact by Jodi Picoult and it already has me in deep thought. Coincidentally, the novel is about teen suicide, which is quite a topic around the forums these days.

                      As for my favourite book, I would have to go with Under the Dome by Stephen King. The ending might seem like a copout, but I'll be damned if I deny that the entire book was a thrill ride from start to finish. Previously, it was The Green Mile, also by King.

                                      Last book I read was The Firm by John Grisham. Currently I am reading nothing for I have not gone to the library and my favorite book is The Rainmaker also by John Grisham.

                                          The last book I read was ''The Club Dumas'' by Arturo Perez-Reverte. I'm reading ''Blindness'' by Jose Saramago. Next on my list are ''The Dark Tower'' books, I've heard they are amazing!

                                              did you fully grasp the sound and the fury? reading benjy's stuff made me pretty angry, but i absolutely adore faulkner..

                                              also, my most recent book was Randy Pausch's The Last Lecture, and i'm about to re-read Heart of Darkness, but definitely not by choice..

                                                  LOL, we had to read A Streetcar named Desire in our english class. We didn't have enough time to watch the movie, so I'm going to watch it over winter break.

                                                  The last book that I read was Margaret Laurence's "The Stone Angel". It's about an old lady who tries to tame her immeasurable pride, but ends up dying due to it. It's a really good book, filled with all sorts of symbols that connect to all sorts of allusions!

                                                          Right now I'm reading Atlas Shrugged, I bought it this summer but haven't gotten around to reading it yet. I've always loved the whole futuristic-world-in-ruins sort of concept.

                                                          I'm undecided on my favorite book.
                                                          This is my signature.
