I recently finished The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. The ending was a bit of a letdown, but I did enjoy it...even though it was horribly depressing.

[Spooky_Bunny]

A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray

[Trias]

Babel's Merchant (that was the English name, I guess), by George S. Clason. It is about how to preserve and earn money from money. Judging by the fact that I have very few talents that would worth money and I'm not a money-greedy person by nature, I'll need that book in the future.

[Molekage]

just finished a bit of Christian literature, the Ragamuffin gospel and the Jesus I Never Knew. good stuff, even if you aren't Christian :)

i also recently finished an older medival text, egal's saga :)

[vanh]

Norwegian wood by Haruki Murakami

[SayuriNinja]

Today, I finished reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, UK edition. Before I finished reading the Philosopher's Stone, also UK edition and they're so different from American versions.

[Kouga ♥]

Just got done reading Dragon's Milk. Although it was only 250 pages and I got it from my school library, it was considerably good.

[nessa17]

Heads by Harry by Lois-Ann Yamanaka

I just finished Second Child by John Saul. It's about this girl who is crazy and extremely jealous over her younger half sister. Really good book although both kids are kinda crazy.

[Dejablue]

Not long ago I finished reading Lian Hearn's "Across the Nightingale Floor". And then its sequel "Grass for His Pillow"

Now I have to find "Brilliance of the Moon" These are some really really good books.

[seraluanma]

Finished Drowned Wednesday, Lireal, and Zombie Survival Guide in the past week.

[Mangekyou28Sharingan]

Just finnished The New Jedi Order - Force Heretic 1: Remnant by: Sean Williams and Shane Dix.

Recommend: Yes and No

Reason: cuz you really have to remember that the book is meant to be held about 25- 30 years in the future of the movie so Luke and Hans are both married, have kids etc. (not to mention some of their kids are named Ben, Leia and Anakin) This could cause you to get extremely confused. however, all and all it has a good plot and everything.

[Sieg]

Moon Called by Patricia Briggs

Can't wait for the next in January.

[DeathkillerD]

I have recently finished a book called The Pool of Two Moons written by Kate Forsyth i believe. It was pretty well written and is part of a series, so its off to Barnes and Noble for me :)

[yeno1378]

[Utz]

Kite Runner.

Great book, very moving and emotional. A must read!

[HLR_23710]

Textbooks smile-big
I've just read "The Da Vinci Code" for the third time, :))

[yeno1378]

I just finished a book my sister let me borrowed and it's called A Child Called "It". I don't really remember the author's name, but it was really good.

I read that book too. the stuff the mother did to her child was just...unbelievably cruel :cry . Very touching and depressing read.

[Sho]

I just finished yesterday Forest Mage which is book 2 of Robin Hobb's Soldier's Son series. Just an amazing book and I'm really looking forward to the next one coming out.

[Mukuro]

I've just completed my first read of the book: The way of the Ninja (subtitle: secret techniques) by Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi; English version translated/interpreted by Ben Jones.

It is quite an interesting book that gives a little insight into the history of the ninja in Japan. Not only that it, speaks about the idea (or was it truth?) that Minjutsu is the backbone of the martial arts and the fact that Ninjutsu can reveal one's true spiritual significance.

It isn't an easy book to understand. The sentences are worded in such a way that every single thing read could possibly have (or actually does have) multiple meanings.

I can guarantee myself that I will have to read this book quite a few times to make sense of a lot of the things said in it. This book is more than just about Ninjutsu.

[vanh]

"After the earjquake" , a short stories collection by Haruki Murakami.

[Code]

[Yondy]

The Slave Dancer.

[vanh]

1. "Sons of fortune " by Jeffrey Archer. I don't really like this book. It didn't bring me any real deep feeling.

2. "La joueuse de go" by Shan Sa. That's the original name in French of the book, but the author is a Chinese . The title can be translated into " Young lady playing Go" .

I love this book . I didn't think the ending would ever turn out that way . The girl and the Japanese solider both died . I have become sexist , kinda.

[MYK]

Rhapsody and Prophecy and Destiny; all by Elizabeth Haydon.
Very well written novels, almost Robert Jordan-esque in development of characters, plot, etc.

Odd Thomas by Dean Kootz

Someone on the website recommended it but I wouldn't personally. It was told in Firt-Person I believe? Either way Odd Thomas is telling the story. The back bone and plot was great but if it was told in third person I would like it better.

[vanh]

"If you're not a dream" by Marcy Levy.

Indeed, the original title is in French, but due to the very fact that I don't know French, I put it in English.

[FireCandy]

Tartuffe - a comedy by Molière.

[Shogun]

Factotum by Charles Bukowski. Truely a great novel, although i wouldn't recommend it to anyone under the age of 19 and even then it is kind of hard to truely relate to. I think very few people would be able to truely appreciate the story but i found it to be very good none the less.

[FireCandy]

The Sorrows of Young Werther - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I don't like it too much...

[Kurairu]

Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury

[Bubbles]

I re-read Jane Austin's Emma, i'm a sucker for such things :ninja

[Shogun]

Ham on Rye by Charles Bukowski. 10/10 a real stunner and the very definition of a page turner. It was a terrific read and certainly a book i can relate to...to a certain extent. i recommend it to anyone. maybe youngsters might not appreciate it, but it is worth keeping and re-reading for those still in high school.

[Voynich]

Terry Pratchett - Jingo

Awesome. Such a spot on parody on the war and war in general. Terry is always spot on, so it's no surprise I love this.

[exmorte]

My Tank is Fight... Greatest book ever, sure the What fight have been was just fleshing out. But the book covers some crazy inventions.

[Knivesx2004]

It's a japanese book but it was translated.

[FireCandy]

Madame Curie - a biography about Marie Curie ( Polish-French physicist and chemist. Pioneer in the early field of radioactivity, later becoming the first two-time Nobel laureate and the only person with Nobel Prizes in two different fields of science -physics and chemistry ).
Written by her daughter - Eve Curie.

[Nakor]

Persuasion by Jane Austin. good book. still trying to make my way through all of her books

[chainsaw massacre]

A Treasure Worth Seeking by Sandra Brown.

It's romance-y kinda stuff. Not to mention the explicit details on how they're making love =_=. Really sends you lots of bone-chilling feelings if you aint used to reading books like one.

[Bad Pornography]

Moby Dick - Herman Melville.

A good 300-something chapters

[FireCandy]

I also finished Moby Dick (yeah its taken me awhile). I went to the comic book store and saw that there is a "Moby Dick" anime...I almost picked it up but was stopped because I was embarrassed for even the comic book cashiers to see me purchasing it.

Half hour after I went to see the movie.

Just finished Betrayal by Aaron Allston and Tempest by Troy Denning. (Both Star Wars books in a new series) Both were great, and well worth the wait. Now I need some more books to read until February...

[Khamzul]

Manga: Berserk Volume 1-31, Death Note volume 1-12.
Don't know if these counts as books.

The latests book I have finished is:

House of Chains by Steven Erikson.

Great book, I'm getting more and more into the verse with each book. This was good, although not so good as the Memories of Ice (The book before). This is the forth book in "The Malazan Book of the Fallen".

I will recommend the series to everyone.

The happy postman - i have no idea who wrote it.

I read it to a 5 year old, awww she was so cute.

[DTMaster]

Well of Darkness by Tracky Hickman and Margret Weis.The title sounds cliche but the authours make up for it :D

[Ivyn]

Factotum by Charles Bukowski :amuse

[Sakura Kaijuu]

I just finished the second book of The Great Tree of Avalon series, Shadow of the Stars. Or maybe it was Shadow in the Stars. Whatever. It was along those lines.

And I am severely irritated by the fact that I don't have the third one, which just came out. I know that because I saw it at Borders when I was doing Chanukah shopping and my eyes practically fell out of my head.

I also just finished Mort, one of the first Discworld books by Terry Pratchett. And the first book where Death plays a major role. I love Discworld. :laugh

[Marshed_Potato]

I just finished reading "Cut" by Patricia McCormick. It changed my perspective on a lot of things. :)

[foofbunny]

I just finished reading Twilight by Stephanie Meyer.

All I can say is a resounding, "Meh." It was a rather entertaining book and it would have been a lot better if the characters weren't so sappy and poorly characterized. It also bothered me that the whole book just seemed like a tribute to how amazing one of the characters was. I get it, HE'S GORGEOUS, now stop telling me! (Despite all this, I'll probably end up picking up the second book anyways. -_-)

[AshCrestedHeart]

haha, I really enjoyed Twilight, just because I have a supreme fascination with Vampires.

[foofbunny]

haha, I really enjoyed Twilight, just because I have a supreme fascination with Vampires.

:3

I actually am really interested in things that is usually portrayed as dark and mysterious. As well as a fascination for anything taboo. However, not even that could stop me from being pissed off at Bella and Edward the whole time I was reading it.

[mikomi_thedeathaninja]

Just finished reading "The Alchemist" can't remember by who though and also re-read the HP books

[SpadeZ]

Earagon and Eldest, good reads if you like the stereotypical good guy vs. supreme evil who sits on his thrown all day.

[delirium]

Ghost in the Shell Vol. 2: Revenge of the Cold Machines. Working on Vol. 3 right now, White Maze. Also finished Boogiepop & Others vs. The Imaginator Part 2.

[Wolfwood]

Shakespeares King Lear and The Dark Tower VII.

Lear wasn't as good as I thought, though it got better at the end.

TDT VII was quite good, though I was a bit dissapointed with the final battle between Roland and the Crimson King and with what Roland "found" in the Tower.

[Shogun]

it's been a while, but here we go:

The Big Sleep, by Raymond Chandler. If you're into detective stories it doesn't come much better than this, really excellent period piece that sets the tone nicely.

Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk, i'm sure most are familar with the film so to cut it short: it's as good as it.

Talk to the Snail by Stephen Clarke, a very short read but it is interesting if anyone here is planning on visiting france any time soon.

[Ziltoid]

well i've just finished The Pale Horseman by Bernard Cornwell

[troublesum-chan]

The adventures of Fan Boy and Goth Girl ^_^

reminded me alot of King Dork, but without being as edgy. still a good read.

Betrayal

Tempest

[GaaraOfTheDesert]

Pinball by Haruki Murakami

The Life of Pi. Surprisingly a good book.:)

[isanon]

harry potter and the HBP (for the third or fourth time)

[Marguerite Perrin]

Anyone here read the Gregor the Overlander books? Those books are fucking violent...

[TWF]

Megladon:Terror of the Deep by Steven Alten is the shit. If your into horror about the Great White's huge cousin of the prehistoric time. Then this series if for you. I loved it.

[Booster Beetle]

Coraline- Neil Gaiman. It was cute, but a little short...but then it IS a children's book. Once more Gaiman writes an amazing story but really stumbles at the finish. I'm about halfway through Neverwhere and am hoping it doesn't have the same problem.

[Catterix]

In the last month:

Memoirs of a Geisha - The story of a... Geisha. Much better than the already brilliant film. Though not as epic, but its narrative was brilliant and extremely empathetic and the story was topnotch.

Casino Royale - Much like the film, except being 40 years older, so not as modern and a bit slower. There was alot more emphasis on the actual card game. And the end bit was just a short little chapter and not a whole 20 minute action segment.

Land of the Living - A young woman wakes up tied to a chair with a bag over her head. An absolutely gripping book, really horrible but brilliantly written none the same.

AirFrame - Same writer as Jurassic Park. Exciting and thrilling, if a little laborious in some places, but the information was brilliant and the ending was like a 15 year old premonition of the terrorism of today. Watch out for Chinese people on American planes... o.O

I'm not a book worm... :)

[Yuvia]

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.

[Catterix]

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.

LOL My mum knows him.

Not very well mind, but they went to college together and have kept in contact. Hilarious guy.

Great book, btw. I wish I hadn't left my copy at my parents.

"If you like Japanese samurai warrior fantasy you'll love this story cause its filled with swords, clan in-fighting, love affairs, invisibility, and Ninja powers"

No Beast So Fierce - Edward Bunker
Probably the best crime novel i've read so far.

[Kamioto Furin]

1984 by George Orwell.

[Sakura Kaijuu]

Princess on the Brink (Princess Diaries VIII) by Meg Cabot

The Fairy Rebel by Lynne Reid Banks (I love that book so much :love )

The City of Ember by Jeanne Duprau (Even though I listened to it on cd it's essentially the same thing...sort of...)

[The Rook]

The past couple days I read Rainbow 6, Cell and the Good Earth.

Talk to the Hand #?*!--the Utter Bloody Rudeness of the World Today, or Six Good Reasons to Stay Home and Bolt the Door

by Lynne Truss

:nod

[Nuriel]

New Moon and Twilight by Stephanie Meyer

[Kakuzu]

Star Wars: Dark Lord, The Rise of Darth Vader by James Luceno

Entertaining, but less so because you automatically know the outcome of all of Vader's battles. Not to mention that I'm not a fan of a naive, gullible, and stupid kid turned evil Sith douche bag, or Sith at all for that matter.

[Darth Judicar]

Just finished with Tempest and now going to reread Bloodlines by Karen Traviss. Luckily February is almost here and the next Legacy of the Force is scheduled to arrive then.

[Booster Beetle]

Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere. Got to say, I actually think it's my second favourite of his novels, beating out American Gods (I'm a philistine, I know) and just behind Anansi Boys.

[CharonX]

I've managed to finish a few books recently, each of them rather good.

1. "Hannibal Rising", by Thomas Harris
This was an awesome book, especially if you like any of the other books in the series. The writing style is breathtaking in parts, and though it may sound strange, you get a better understanding of Hannibal, and though odd, begin to empathise with him and understand the hardships that he has gone through in his life. It also featured some rather suspenseful scenes and, in the end, I couldn't put it down (knocked it over in about 4 hours). 4.5/5

2. "The Reality Dysfunction", by Peter F. Hamilton.
This is the first book in his absolutely mind-blowing space-opera trilogy, 'The Night's Dawn'. I won't go into specific details as they would spoil the story, but Hamilton is an absolute genius of an author. The story twists and turns, ducks and weaves, and leaves you on the edge of your seat/bed/toilet/wherever you happen to read. I don't think it is even remotely possible for me to accurately convey how well written this book is, let alone the entire series. As a side note, the cliffhanger is one that will have you diving straight into the next book. 5/5

3. "The Neutronium Alchemist", by Peter F. Hamilton.
This is the second book in the above series, and is easily just as good. I'll readily admit that I'm not generally a big fan of some sci-fi/space opera books, but this series is just... stunning. This book evidently continues on from the first, and features more action and character development, and follows the problems encountered in the first book as they begin to spread across the Confederation (put simply, the overall government of almost all human-controlled/occupied planets). Features an even more stunning cliffhanger. 4.5/5 (as it got a little slow in the middle of the novel, but picked up later on).

Well, these are the books that I've gotten through in the last couple of weeks. Enjoy.

I love Neil Gaiman's books. I haven't got to read Anansi Boys yet. Or his new book, the collection of short stories. The name escapes me at the moment. :amuse

[blueradio]

i recently read the perks of being a wallflower.
despite the fact every teenager in the world has read i enjoyed it.

[Kasume]

I know this has nothing to do with the other thing but HOW IN THE WORLD DO I PUT UP AN AVATAR >:O

[Lo$tris]

I fiinished reading warlord trilogy by bernard cornwell..and i must say the BEST books ever..the last book "excalibur" was so depressing and bleak, I cried while reading it :s

Currently reading River God by wilbur smith.

[Kakuzu]

Star Wars: Labyrinth of Evil by James Luceno.

Mere fanfiction level writing. Now I'll be waiting for the next few Star Wars books to be released.

[neko-sennin]

More than a decade after reading the first two, I finally got my hands on and got around to reading the last book in the Han Solo trilogy, "Han Solo and the Lost Legacy". This is the first time I've read a Star Wars novel in years, and it was actually pretty good, in the old-school swashbuckling sci-fi kind of way.

Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere. Got to say, I actually think it's my second favourite of his novels, beating out American Gods (I'm a philistine, I know) and just behind Anansi Boys.

Neverwhere was actually my first Neil Gaiman novel. In the intervening years, I've read all of his Sandman stuff, Good Omens (co-written with Terry Pratchet), and American Gods, and some time I need to get Anansi Boys.

Fragile Things. I bought it about two weeks ago and haven't had a chance to read it yet due to school. :cry

neko-sennin, I haven't read Good Omens (or Stardust and the final volume of The Sandman-I suck), was it good? I like Terry Pratchet, I like Neil Gaiman, so chances are I'd enjoy it, but I can only find the hardcover and it's fairly expensive, so I'm somewhat hesitant to spend the money.

The long valley, by John Steinbeck.

Really.. Must be the most boring book I've ever read.. (It wasn't optional to read it. I had to.. lol)

[DaveXFS]

The last book I read was 'The Stone Cold Truth' (Stone Cold Steve Austin's autobiography).

I really enjoyed reading this book, purely because its all about the life of my all time favourite WWE wrestler.

[Diamond Feorsteorra]

I haven't been reading much but the last book I finished was [i]Burnt Offerings[/b] by Laurell K. Hamilton. I am absolutely in love with her Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series. :love

[CharonX]

Another book I finished recently was Ben Elton's "Chart Throb". It was ok, but I do prefer his other works, like "Stark", "Past Mortem" and "Dead Famous". If you like his other works, it may be worth a shot

[The Dignified]

Right now, I am currently reading "Eldest" I finished "Eragon" yesterday and I am on page 489 of "Eldest". This is the first time I have read this series, so please, dont ruin anything!

A friend told me that Murtagh gets a Dragon! So, he ruined that Murtagh wasn't dead AND that he got a dragon...oh yeah...And that Murtagh and Eragon are brothers....I hate friends -.- lol. But, so far, I love this series and I intent to read it over and over many times.

Also, my dad, who I havnt seen read ANYTHING in the entire time that I've knoen him - 12 years - Is currently reading the "Pendragon" series. He is on book 2. This is a very great series and I recommend it to anyone who likes well-writen book, or people who like a book that will keep ypu up all night.

This is the last book I will tell everyone about. Its my favorite book to date, and I doubt that It'll change. Its a book called "The Telling Pool". This book is by David Clement Davies and is honestly, by far, the BEST book I have ever read. Anyone who loves mysterious books that have many riddles, and a book that EVERY aspect of the book comes in to play later on, this is a perfect book for you.

[Nakor]

Person above me, You might wanna put your first paragraph in spoiler tags since you just spoiled part of the book.

I just finished Ceremony by Leslie Marmon Silko. Required reading for my lit. class. Was a well written book but the overall plot didn't really catch my interest.

[Wolfy]

Predator: Concrete Jungle
Yeah, I love Predators/Aliens/AVP. Easy reads too.

[neko-sennin]

I haven't read Stardust, either, I'm afraid, but Good Omens rocks, especially if you have the kind of irreverent sense of humor I do. And you really need to finish Sandman (go to Borders or B&N and sit in a chair for a couple hours, they'll let you); I won't give any spoilers, but it's a powerful experience.

[Wolfy]

Chronicles of Riddick.

...I read alot.

[riswanh]

[Nakor]

Rebel Fay - Barb & J.C. Hendee

Magician: Apprentice - Raymond Feist

[lowcut]

Jeffrey Deaver - The Vanished Man

The beginning is lame if you know the other novels from the series, but it kept me reading it for the bunch of plot twists and the good research about magicians. (RL magicians, btw^^)

Guards!, Guards! and Wyrd Sisters in the Discworld Series by Terry Pratchett.

There is something about the Discworld series pulls me to it. Its very comical really, I can't really describe how... but when you know about the stuff it talks about (which is actually pratically everything) its hard not to like.

Culture Warrior by Bill O'Reilly

It's because they're awesome. :laugh

Speaking of Discworld, I just finished Wintersmith (the third book featuring Tiffany Aching and the Nac Mac Feegle). It was pretty damn awesome.
