Re: The Last Book You Read, etc, etc

The last book that I read was Hunted by P. C. Cast & Kristin Cast.
The book that I'm currently reading is Tempted by P. C. Cast & Kristin Cast.
(both books are part of the House of Night series)

I don't have a single favorite book because I always try to read ones that will draw me in and hold my attention until the very end. Anything that I've read cover to cover (of my own choosing) was at one time my favorite.

I feel this way about games, honestly.

The last book I fully read was Speaker for the Dead by O. S. Card, the follow up to Ender's Game. It's such a great book and one of my favs. I'm reading Xenocide right now and it's.....pretty good so far.

My favorite book would probably be Koushen's Battle Royale. since 2007 I've read it almost 10 times. I think it would be better if it didnt have all the typos and translation issures that plagued it. I really do like the story of it alot. I was hoping Hunger Games would match it but I just didnt get into them the same way --- By the halfway point of Catching Fire I just realized I didnt care.

Next in Line is a novel called Afterlife. I forgot who did it but it was one of Dean Koontz's students I believe. Looks good and since I found it for a dollar I just snagged it up.

Last book I finished was the last Narnia book (reread all the books). I'm currently re-reading "The Law of Nines" by Terry Goodkind (I really want "The Omen Machine" to come out >_<).

the great gatsby; read it on a plane to china just 'cuz i felt i needed to. it was very good. that said, i felt like the sometimes absolutely gorgeous/exemplary writing style didn't really mesh, for me, with the story, which struck me as overly arbitrary. but whatever, good stuff.

Just read a short story entitled Winter Dreams by F. Scott Fitzgerald (aurhor of The Great Gatsby, which I have also read). It is an interesting story, has striking similarities to the life of Fitzgerald, but ends in a depressing mood. Dexter never got the girl.

...because it's the Easter holidays, I think I'm going to try and read Bret Easton Ellis' American Psycho over the next two weeks. It's not a large book, so hopefully I can do it. :P

Last Book completed: Bamboo Blade Vol. 5

How is the manga for that? I've tried the anime a looooong time ago and just wasnt feeling it for whatever reason.

Back on Topic: Stoped reading Xenocide cuz I just got my import version of Final Fantasy 7 in the mail.

Your Heart Belongs To Me by Dean Koontz. He's a damn good writer. Why I haven't read more of his books, I don't know. xD

Re: The Last Book You Read, etc, etc

Currently reading Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy

Heard this was really good, still getting around to reading it.. I have a copy downstairs somewhere.

Just read a short story entitled Winter Dreams by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Very talented writer, I'll get around to that story too eventually.


Just finished reading J.D. Salinger's 9 Stories.. brilliant stories, "A Perfect Day For Bananafish" and "With Love and Squalor" were the better of the bunch though.

Just starting up Sex Drugs and Cocoa Puffs by Chuck Klosterman

Re: The Last Book You Read, etc, etc

I've been dreadful while trying to read House Of Leaves - I've been caught up with college work most of the time, and when I eventually have time for reading, I'm usually on the internet or the PS1 playing Broken Sword, heh. I've got a week left away from college though, so in that time - as well as revision - I'm going to try and read more of it.

Re: The Last Book You Read, etc, etc

Spur of the moment, decided to pick up Cormac McCarthy's The Road. I absolutely hated it, I have no clue how it won a Pulitzer. I felt absolutely nothing for either of the characters, and the story had no drive to it—it felt like a collection of 100 first paragraphs to a post-apoc novel. Really disappointing, I kept on waiting for it to get better, but it never happened. Though everyone I talked to said it was one of the most emotionally heart-ripping books they'd read. I guess I saw something different in it?
