What was the last book you read?

[About To Crash]

I finished Stephen King's Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass, and Neil Gaiman's American Gods yesterday. Both were wonderful tomes.

 

[Da Joz]

Johnny the homicidal maniac.

 

[On3Winged4ng3l]

The Prototype Pre-order hint map XD

 

[Muppet Prime]

Finished the first book in the Ravenor series by Dan Abnett some time ago. Currently I'm reading Pandora's Star by Peter Hamilton, which I'm finding rather neat.

 

[Hawgh]

The Soldier Son trilogy by Robin Hobb, great series.

 

[OddOzZy666]

A divine comedy by Dante Aligheri, hooray for the seven circles of hell. Also The Zombie survival guide by Max brooks

 

[Jharry5]

'Darkly Dreaming Dexter' by Jeff Lindsay.

Seriously, anyone who enjoyed the first series of Dexter should pick it up. It's better than the series in my opinion...

 

[Yeager942]

I am reading Conqueror's Pride, by Timothy Zahn, right now, but the last book I read was The Man Who Was Thursday, by G.K. Chesterton. Really....fucking....weird.

 

[Azraellod]

if you mean fiction, then science of the discworld is the closest that you can get from me recently. it's kind of a combination of science, and some vague background story about wizards being incompetent...

i liked it. it's a science book with a sense of narration effectively, and that is just how i like to read.

 

[GrinningManiac]

War and Peace.

Well, I'm in the process of reading it. The last book I read was both "The Civil War - an Illustated History", Barack Obama's Biography and "Cosa Nostra, a History of the Sicilian Mafia"

 

[Jindrax]

Hagakure : the way of the samurai

 

[PersianLlama]

Candide by Voltaire

 

[Mackinator]

Err... its been years.
Truly, I haven't read a book in a long time, I can't remember the last one.

 

[EvilMaggot]

long time ago... 2... 3 years ago... it was "Eragon"

 

[Fingerprint]

Berlin Noir by Phillip Kerr.

It's an excellent book.

 

[Lauren Admire]

Candide by Voltaire

I love this book. Very few people can meld satire and philosophy together well.

 

[egwidalin]

I read the manual to guitar hero 3, because i needed to learn to hit moar notes.

Stephen Pressfield, "The Gates of Fire" blew me away

A great read, and a 'must' for anyone who gets all frothy about the movie '300'.

I just started reading House of Leaves, by Mark Z. Danielewski. Now there's a trip. It's worth finding a copy of the book if only to puzzle over the way that it's written.

I can't tell you how badly that book fucked with my head. It's worth the read, but be warned: it does really sink its hooks into you.

Personally, I just finished William Gibson's 'Pattern Recognition' and 'Spook Country'. I'd heartily recommend Pattern Recognition to everyone: it borders on the sublime.

I also just finished 'Armor' by John Steakley- a book that I reread at least once a year, and I'd highly, highly recommend to anyone who liked Starship Troopers by Heinlein.

Yeah, I read a hell of a lot.

 

[Daimes2000]

I think it was 'Lautlos' by Frank Schätzing (author of 'The Swarm'). Interesting thriller about a planned assassination of Bill Clinton during the 1999 EU-G8 summit.

 

[aakibar]

Band Of Brothers ........again
