What Was The Last Book That You Read? - The Dominion of BigRedCat - 01-31-2006
I am finishing up Gore Vidal's "Creation". It's my second time through it. I last read it several years ago.

Sadly I believe the last book I read was the Harry Potter book or perhaps Wicked (the story that inspired the Broadway musical). I tend to read so many comic books, that I rarely enjoy a real novel.

Hey, there's nothing bad about Wicked! It's a nice read
The last book I read cover to cover was "4.50 From Paddington", finally in English. You gotta love 'em Brits
Before that, I read "The Commitment" by Dan Savage, both out of reverence for the author in general and more specifically for my Facharbeit.

The last book I read was "This Other Eden" by Ben Elton. Currently Reading "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams :thrpt:

Re-reading the "Illiad". It really is amazing. The human condition never really changes.
What Was The Last Book That You Read? - Groot Gouda - 03-14-2006
Last month or so:
Gridlock (Ben Elton), because I last read that 10 years or so ago for my English literature list at school. Quite funny.
Going Postal (Terry Pratchett). Just read Pratchett. Great stories, extremely funny, yet a serious or even dark undertone. Laugh and think.
Currently reading Thud! by Pratchett. See above.
For the summer holiday I've bought the Illiad & Odyssee and the Aeneas to read.
Got some interest in books from this: http://www.reducedshakespeare.com/videos/books.ram

I'm in the middle of Brave New World. Before that, it was Dune. Second time through each.
Apart from that, I've been reading a few different books for my French Western Canadian Lit class.

To Kill A Mockingbird, for English class. The last book I read by choice was Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

I'm currently reading Animal Farm. Before that I read Nineteen Eighty-Four. (both by same author, double bind)
What Was The Last Book That You Read? - Baranxtu - 03-14-2006
The Book I'm about to begin with:
"A Thin Dark Line" by Tami Hoag, recommended to me by a friend
Books I plan to re-read:
"The Blind Assassin" by Margaret Atwood
"Wicked" by Gregory Maguire
a hilarious book I let someone read and finally got back after, like, 6 months or so, and thanks for nothing, you unreliable best friend, but the title of which I dare not mention because we do have minors here
Books I should have read, like, yesterday:
"Der Steppenwolf" by Hermann Hesse (blegh, like, seriously, do NOT read it)

My absolute favorite. We should bring IngSoc to NS (see how that plays against IndSov!)
What Was The Last Book That You Read? - Keeslandia - 03-15-2006
Currently in "The Possessed" by Dostoevsky. He does the best mind narratives ever.

As long as we're on the topic of books, I was wondering...
Has anyone here actually read Jennifer Government or any of Max Barry's other books? Can't say I have... can't say I'd even heard of them before I was intro'd to NS.

Let's bring back some Off-Topic topics from the dead, shall we?
The last books I've read were volumes 1-3 of Stephen King's Dark Tower series. I started out not liking them very much, but now I'm far into it enough that I'm starting to really enjoy them. I like Stephen King.

I read Norman Mailer's "The Naked and the Dead". Before that, I read "Snow falling on Cedars" by David Guterson.
SfoC was fine once I understood how the author mixed different plots from different years, at TNatD, I haven't already read enough to judge it.

Carl Hiaasen's Nature Girl, which I thought didn't quite live up to his usual standard. I am also currently "reading" A Tale of Two Cities for English class.
What Was The Last Book That You Read? - Nimali - 02-02-2007

I recently finished The Lost World by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Excellent book. Also I recently read a book called The Ugly American by William J. Lederer and Eugene Burdick for one of my Foreign Policy classes. It was a very intresting book.

At the moment im reading Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood. Very nice reading. Before that I think it was a re-reading of the classic Bret Easton-Ellis book Glamorama.

Currently working my way through a collected works of HP Lovecraft. The Color out of Space is the most terrifying thing I've ever experienced.
My previous book was Terry Pratchett's Witches Abroad, from the Discworld series. Very funny.
What Was The Last Book That You Read? - Gnejs - 02-28-2007
Have you read Houellebecqs book about HP Lovecraft? I've heard great things about it.
What Was The Last Book That You Read? - Embolalia - 03-01-2007
Just finished up Tim Dorsey's Hurricane Punch. It was great.
What Was The Last Book That You Read? - New Silly - 09-03-2007
Three Nights In Havana by Robert Wright
(Highly recommended for anyone into politics, amd social order. Basically, those lacking social contact.)
What Was The Last Book That You Read? - Malabra - 09-20-2007
I read Heart of Darkess.
Mehhh...
