Just like the What Movie did you watch Last? thread, post the title and author of the book you just read.

Reccently I have read:
A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beggining and The Reptile Room
by Lemony Snicket

Currently I am readying
1984
by George Orwell

The series of unfortunate events is a great series. :) I've read 10 out of 11 of them.
Last book I read was Eragon, by Christopher Paolini. Also a fantastic book.

The last book I read was OotP.

I read the third book called The Wide Window.

Wendy, I bought that book Eragon. I'll have to read it after I finish the Lemony Snicket books. :D

I have it too!

The last book I read was There and Back Again: An Actor's Tale by Sean Astin

I love, love, love Eragon. I cannot wait for Elest to come out.

I however just finised The Good Earth.

Rae

I hated The Good Earth. blergh. :yuck:

I just got finished rereading Helter Skelter. Oh so scary.

parts of the FAAO 7110.65

It's an air traffic control manual.

I just finished reading some book - I cannot for the life of me remember which it was - But I am up to the second book of a trilogy - The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, The Unbeliever ... you should read it, it is sweet as ...

Pride and Prejudice.
This was a re-read for me.....I love it!

I am still reading a book called The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever - extremely interesting ...

I just read book 5 ...OOTP
wanted to be *fresh* on my mind for book 6 of course!
Now Im re reading goblet...just cuz its one of my very favs of the series.

CoS. Refreshing myself. On to PoA!!!!

I'm reading "The Shining." After that, I'll start re-reading the series.

I'm re-reading PoA. Won't take long. Then I'm gonna read Hitchiker's Guide. Want to finish reading it before I watch the movie.

The Fredericks of Hollywood catalog

Moved on to "The Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant" ... Honestly, if you see it in a book shop, buy it! It is one of the best reads I have had!

ok, I am currently on Goblet..I hate the first chapter...the whole backstory on Voldy...and what happens, if he *fake* kills himself when he really kills his folks.. where does the body come from everyone (including cops and coroners) think is him? I dont get it...I love this book, but that first part I have never liked. It has always reminded me of Genesis in the Bible...I never liked that either, no offense, sorry if any is taken, I just never got all that begotting stuff.

:diespam:

This is what people don't understand....The Bible is not to be read like a normal book....otherwise you wouldn't ever get past the first couple chapters (don't worry about offending....that part IS boring). Read Ester or Ruth.....or The Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke & John)....those are all like stories.....OH and Song of Songs.....that's a love story, poetry style.

thanks Darce..I did get a new book recently, its called "Paganism, an introduction to Earth-centered religions" I have a bunch of Wicca type books...but really like this Pagan one best so far.

That sounds interesting. I've always found Wicca interesting. Unlike some people who claim Christ-based religions, I really enjoy studying religions other than my own as well.

Ive just started on it (reading it and Goblet at the same time, lol) but so far its really great!

I'm reading a fantasy series called the Sword books along with CoS.

I cant WAIT for book 6 this summer!!! Im SOOOOOOO excited!

I know! I've been worried about taking time off from work for it (I WILL have a job by then), but I found out that the 16th is on a Sat, right? awesome!!!!!

Wendy, if I'm still here in Texas, we need to get together for the midnight lines!!!!

IF your still there in Texas?? Where MIGHT you be thats not in Texas?

Don't know. Gotta find a job somewhere, right?

Heh ... well, since this is "What was the last book you read?", the last book that I read was "The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy." ...

That would be fun. :D

Last book I read,
Safe driving 101 :P

Harry Flipping Potter and the Stupid a$$ half blood Prince..... I am SOOO shocked.... I did like the way much of the unfinished buiness from the first 5 books was tied up neatly tho.... the death and the murderer came as a HUGE HUGE shock tho..I cried on both counts and feel completely betrayed IF thats the way she leaves it. First she whacks off Sirius....now this person....I feel like I really need to go to a funeral and not just read one. This is really awful.

Hear! Hear!

Well said Anora.

I loved the HBP, but the ending was so shocking (in particularly for me because of my love and devotion to both people involved. How could he have done that?!?!?!?!?!??) and I cried so much that I have to take a 30 minute time out to collect myself and stop crying.

I was hoping, like Harry was when Sirius died, that what happened, didn't really happen and that it just appeared that way.

I still can't believe it. :shock:

Most Agreed! HP and the Crud A$$ HPB!
That punk butt!

I'm currently re-reading The Sorcerer's Stone. I'm going all the way back tot he beginning to see what I could have possibly missed for HBP to have ended the way it did.

I have my theories though, oh yes, I have my theories....

Blue and I have been thinking along the same lines...start at the beginning. It was sure good enough for some of our characters to think so.

Do you think it would be wise to change Wendy's one thread into a Theories thread and then leave the one for just discussion of the book?

I'm on Chapter 8 of SS

I've just finished SS and am moving on to CoS.

I read Phantom of the opera, it was interesting. :)

Johnny Got His Gun
American Psycho
Brokeback Mountain

"Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card.

Currently re-reading:

"Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban"

Currently reading:

"Johnny Halfhuman and the Good Nazi"
"Ender's Shadow"
"The Radioactive Boy Scout"

Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice. I hope to finish The Vampire Lestat after tomorrow.

Edit:

"Daniel* Halfhuman and the Good Nazi" (I had only just started reading it, so yeah.)

Finished re-reading PoA, and have finished reading Radioactive Boy Scout. I have started "The Birds". Very interesting. I'm about three quarters of the way through. Its not very long, is it?
