What book have you finished recently?

[jungwah8]

Well, I searched the forums for a thread like this, but surprisingly there was none (unless I missed something). :amuse


What book have you finished reading recently? If you want, recommend it and describe it (author/genre/summary). :smile-big


Well, I just finished reading The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck. It's a classic. Historical fiction...I think. Sorry, I'm not very good with determining the genre. I enjoyed reading it. Probably because I don't usually read those types of books often.

[Kyuubi_Xx]

I just finished reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix again. I've gotta refresh my memory - The Half-Blood Prince is coming out soon. :P

[lwong81]

[kapsi]

Dirk Gently Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams. And started "Hitchhiker's guide..." because I finally got the book after all these years.

[Katara]

About two weeks ago, Shadow of the Giant by Card. A great way to end the series. Although I kinda wish it weren't.

[BakaKage]

Just finished Eragon...it was so-so, nothing special really (no offense to fans). Props to the author though, for writing a very readable story at such a young age.

[Chatulio]

reading the forgotten realms book "Forsaken house" in the THE LAST MYTHAL trilogy writtne by Richard Baker



11 days till HP HBP :laugh :crying :love

[exmorte]

Heh i just finished flashforward a science fiction book where due to an experiment everybody on the earths conciousness is temporarily catapulted 20 years in the future.. and how people deal with said foreknowledge. Oh and its by Robert J. Sawyer

[Woofie]

Dirk Gently Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams.
Ha, same here. :laugh I finished Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency about a week ago, and since then I've also read the second Dirk Gently novel, The Long, Dark, Tea-Time of the Soul.

The Dirk Gently books are by the same author as the Hitch-hikers Guide... the writing style and humour is distinctively by the same person, but the Dirk Gently novels are a bit less 'wacky'. Depending on your sense of humour, you might enjoy them slightly more or slightly less than the Hitch-hikers book, but either way, if you like Hitch-hikers you'll like these to some extent (I prefer them myself).

So yeah, they're sci-fi comedy. DGHDA is more science/computer-oriented, whereas LDTTotS is a bit more mythology-based. The first book is better in my opinion - the plot is more interesting (considering it's primarily a comedy, the plot was actually very good and kept me hooked - I loved the way lots of apparently very unrelated strands tied together at the end), the characters were stronger (Richard and Reg were both good) and the humour was slightly more consistent... there were a few less LOL moments than in the second one, but there was something which made me smile on nearly every page. :P Maybe it's because of my background in physics and computer science, I dunno. >_> The only way in which the second novel is better is Dirk Gently himself - in the first one, he's introduced fairly late on, and you don't get a full feel for him (or see the full extent of his hilarity). But in the second one, things focus on him more, and he really comes into his own... he's a great character. :laugh

Both are worth reading, anyway, especially for any HHG fans unfamiliar with the few other things Adams did.

[chdragonfly]

artemis fowl

[NinjaJedi007]

A Lesson Before Dying by Earnest Gaines. I actually liked this entire book from start to finish. I was really pleased with how everything was done. Definitely worth checking out.

[Smooth Jazz]

I just finished reading Chainfire by Terry Goodkind the latest in the Sword of Truth series, its Fantasy Fiction.

[zionforsell]

I finished my first book from the Vampire Chronicles of Anne Rice "Queen of the Damned" and I want to ask a question: why the heck everybody praises her novels so much??? I don't know about the other book in Vampire Chronicles, but this one SUCKSSSS. After this third book, the one after it seem going down hills too. I mean... I read it and don't understand why everybody likes it. It drags on and on. It switchs narators too much and confusing. She wastes too much time one explaining the reason Akasha want to destroy male population. Too many umimportant characters are introduced in details. Plus, the emotions in characters seem to be very vage as well.

[Ah B]

I finished the first book of the Warcraft: War of the Ancients Trilogy last week. Halfway done the second book, and I expect to finish it by Sunday so I can start reading Harry Potter: The Half Blood Prince on Monday.
The War of the Ancients Trilogy is better than I expected. Anybody who has played the Warcraft games must read this book. It builds on the plot as a whole seperate story.

[Nerf Herder]

Last books I finished reading were "Skeleton Crew" by Stephen King and Resident Evil: Zero Hour by S.D. Perry. I enjoyed both of them a lot, I think King's short stories are better than his novels.

[Mangekyou_Master]

To hold me over for Book 3 - Ptolemy's Gate, I'm getting started on Eldest, and after that A Game of Thrones(I hear great things about this one).

[blue_duck]

The Curious Incident of The Dog in The Night-time by Mark Haddon

[Tal Rasha]

The Fires of Heaven, book 5 of The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan. IMO, the best fantasy series ever.

[organizedcrime]

Mostly Harmless, hilarious ending. The plot was a bit twisted, most notably because there wasn't much of one to begin with, but I loved it, and it was a grand ending to the Hitchhiker's Trilogy.

[Hitomi_No_Ryu]

Sidney Sheldon's Are You Afraid Of The Dark?

It was fun at first but the ending felt very rushed...

[Toadstule]

I just finished Harry Potter and the half blood prince.

the scarlet pimpernel (orczy or orzcy, can never spell it) reread
hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy (the whole series, minus #6) amazing. had to reread after the movie.

[Ah B]

I'm almost done Tom Clancy's Net Force.

[Gaara-fan]

I just finished Artemis Fowl, The Opal Deception. It's a great book :smile-big

And The Rule of Four. Awesome book, almost Da Vinci-code like but not.

[Maleficent]

Almost finished with Stephen King's Desperation...

[vervex]

The last book I read was about Bouddhism. It was not a 300 pages novel, but very interesting. Now I understand a bit better this religion, and it pushed me to read about Taoism, which I'm doing these days ;)

[kapsi]

Pan Wołodyjowski (Mr. Wołodyjowski) by H. Sienkiewicz.

[Mineko-Iwasa]

Die Kinder des Bösen from Marco Schank

[Catatonik]

Twenty Ads That Shook the World - James B. Twitchell

A real eye opener about how deep Ads have altered our culture. One of the coolest books I have read in a long time.

[Vikrat]

I just finished those books about the Otori Caln by Liam Hearn.


Me liked. :woo

[Miss Asphyxia]

A book called 'Not Without My Daughter' by Betty Mahmoody

Fantastic book from the 80's about an American woman and her daughter who are held against their will in Iran by her deranged husband, and their plans to escape.

Great read..Highly recommend it.

[*Haruno_Sakura*]

Just finished rereading Battle Royale. Tis one of my favourites! "Not without my daughter" sounds interesting.

[Ah B]

I finished reading The Golden Compass a day ago, its a pretty good book. Spent a good 10-15 hardcore hours reading it.

[Keramachi]

Lord of the Flies by William Golding. A classic of British literature.

[Ruri]

Macbeth ~ I didn't think I would like it, but it's one of my favorite plays now. ^_^

"Out, damned spot!" XD

[Naruto Ann]

Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson. Who the hell wouldn't read a book wherein the main character's name was Hiro Protagonist?

[moer]

"kiss the girls" by james patterson, a good book if your into killers and mysteries

[Zeon]

The Sillent Blade by R.A. Salvatore it's a fantasy book I really like it

[ShounenSuki]

The Lord of the Rings for the 7th time ^^

[Raistlin-sama]

I just finished reading Ringworld a science fiction classic, that I haven't read till now (shame on me!).

It was very good, although a few things were not answered completely satisfactory... But I will just be reading the next installments in the series.

I don't know why, but the puppeteer race have won my liking. Somehow there is just something so awesomely cool about these cowardly, yet technologically superior (to most) creatures, that draw me to them. Their race, their science, their sociology in general and of course there cowardice/fear of dying (they fear to die, because their scientists have proven that they have no such thing as an immortal soul, and living forever is possible with *modern* science).

All in all, a pretty good read.

[less]

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Murakami.

Started out being about a guy looking for his cat and ends up being about baseball bat violence, dry wells, passing through walls, blowjobs in dreams, the importance of water, wigs, Siberian labour camps during WW2, human skinning and much much more. I love my Murakami.

[ShadowGal19]

Lord of the Flies

[neko-sennin]

Hi, all.

The Lord of Chaos, and I'm currently in the midst of A Crown of Swords. I've bought all the rest of the Wheel of Time books except for the new one that just came out, so I guess I'm officially addicted.

[Sho]

^Great choice you started with Wheel of Time. I started the series when I was in 5th grade (when Path of Daggers came out) and now I'm in my second year of college still reading it. :laugh

It's one of my favorite series next to Song of Ice and Fire. I'm glad the next book is the last book though since I get tired of waiting for it to end.

Anyways, last book I finished was Knife of Dreams about 2 weeks ago of the Wheel of Time. Great book.

[neko-sennin]

Yeah. When somebody told me about Robert Jordan's stroke awhile back (explaining about the long lapse between volumes), it was almost like Stephen King's accident all over again. Damn, I was afraid I would never get to finish reading the Dark Tower. If that happened to the Wheel of Time, it would be every bit as much of a tragedy.

[xeno]

When Will Jesus Pass the Porkchops: George Carlin

quite funny, I liked it almost as much as Napalm and Silly Putty

[Darth Judicar]

The Fall of the House of Usher. I read it in Psychology when we had a substitute, as my friend had a take-home test on it for English and he isn't exactly the most sharpest crayon in the box...After I read it graded his test so he wouldn't screw up.

[Katakoto]

I just finished up reading Huck Finn and Ethan Frome not to long ago.

I have about a chapter or two to go more on The Scarlet Letter.

[diglossiablues]

"Dangling Man" by Saul Bellow and "Love in the Time of Cholera" of Marquez.

[Ruri]

I just finished reading "Tori Amos, Piece by Piece" by Tori Amos and Ann Powers.

It's a revelation into Tori Amos' private thoughts, her views on the music industry, and filled with discussions on mythology and folklore.

[Robotkiller]

Eldest: book two of the inheritence trilogy
Even better than harry potter on the fantasy front.
1984 about 6 months ago not really recent I guess.

[jkingler]

I'm glad the next book is the last book though since I get tired of waiting for it to end.
Book 12 will be the last book? :omg

I just finished Knife of Dreams a few weeks ago, and there is so much left to be done I can hardly believe it!

[nah-nah]

I just finished reading Pride and Prejudice for the 924875th time.

Yeah, it's an exaggeration, but I've lost count on how many times I've read that book. It's so good. I know that they came out with a movie for it on the 11th but I'm a bit hesitant to watch it. I've kept away from any movie versions of the book (yeah, even the one with Colin Firth), but I'm tempted now because I've heard it's really good.

I always want to smack Kitty, too, whenever I read this book. XD

[Dionysus]

AFFC by GRRM

heh

[hesd]

Politically Correct Bedtime Stories (political and social satire) by James Finn Garner, Atlas Shrugged (sociological n philosophical...probes human nature) by Ayn Rand and Swiftly Tilting Planet by Madeleine L'engle (children, fantasy). These books are priceless investments.

[neko-sennin]

Just finished A Crown of Swords and started on The Path of Daggers.

I just got my Watch series back from a friend, so naturally I had to read it agin.

[Chimmy]

Everything bad is good for you - Steven Johnson

Very good book I think if you should read it will make you fell better about the hours yopu spend playing video game and watching TV

[Nakor]

Just finished How To Be Good by Nick Hornby

Starting A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin

[dspr8_rugged]

At the span of two weeks, I finished reading the first four Harry Potter books... :D

[meekozy]

I just read the last page of David Lubar's "Dunk" That book was BEAUTIFUL! >_< read it!!!!

[Spidey]

I recently finished Nathan McCall's "Makes me wanna holler". It was published in 1994 I believe, and it is a truly amazing autobiography. If you haven't already read it, you should.

[hesd]

Mere Christianity. Such a lovely book. I seriously recommend it for Christians and non-Christians alike. Book 6 really sucks. The style, the phrasing, the voice..all went downhill from book 1. I am very dissapointed. Also, Rowling utterly destroyed the concept of Trust by making Snape kill Dumbledore. That's terry-terrible!

[Lexiefaye]

5 most recent books I read and loved ....

3 Nights in August by Buzz Bissinger about Tony LaRussa of the St Louis Cardinals
Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones which the anime movie is loosely based Gateway to Women's Country by Sharri Tepper which is Handmaid Taleish
Homicide:Year on the Killing Streets by David Simon on which the TV show was based Gideon's Spies by Gordon Thomas about Israel's Secret Service, Mossad

I also suggest anything by Homer Hickam Jr. (e.g. October Sky), anything by Simon Winchester (Krackatoa, The Professor and the Madman), anything by Erik Larson (Isaac's Storm, The Devil in the White City), Harry Potter, Pride and Prejudice and Lord of the Rings if you haven't conformed to society yet, Memoirs of a Geisha (Arthur Golden), Life of Pi, (Yann Martel), Empire of the Sun (J.G. Ballard), Catch Me If You Can and Art of the Steal (Frank W Abagnale), I Sleep at Red Lights (Bruce Stockler) and The Street (Ann Petry)

[Scared Link]

The DaVinciCode, yes im too young to read it but its such an intriguing book.

[Lexiefaye]

I just finished reading Pride and Prejudice for the 924875th time.

Yeah, it's an exaggeration, but I've lost count on how many times I've read that book. It's so good. I know that they came out with a movie for it on the 11th but I'm a bit hesitant to watch it. I've kept away from any movie versions of the book (yeah, even the one with Colin Firth), but I'm tempted now because I've heard it's really good.

I always want to smack Kitty, too, whenever I read this book. XD

I'm honestly scared of the Kiera Knightly verson too. From the trailers and clips available it seems like this Lizzy never hates Darcy or at least is sexually attracted to him throughout. Come on ... in the book she DISPISES the guy for quite a while. On the other hand, believe me, the Colin Firth version is worth seeing. It is one of the few movie adaptations I've ever seen that does NOT bastardize the book. The glory of using 6 hours to tell the story correctly!!!!! And yes, Kitty needs to be slapped. Lydia is too much of an idiot but Kitty ... what is she thinking?

[jkingler]

@the poster above: Me aNd my gf weNt aNd saw it, receNtly, aNd it was actually quite good. Keira KNightley was spot oN and she may very well (aNd deservedly) get an Oscar Nod for it. I wasN't expectiNg it to be so good!

HoNestly, if you just brace yourself before you go iNto the theater aNd tell yourself that it is aN adaptatioN of the book, NOT the whole book, I thiNk you will be pleasaNtly surprised.

I wouldN't be surprised if this movie is NomiNated for best editiNg, best directioN, best actress, and best adaptatioN. It was great :smile-big

As for my most receNt book: A SoNg of Ice aNd Fire, Book IV: A Feast for Crows

[Master Scorpion]

Then I read "A First Rate Tragedy - Robert Falcon Scott and the race to the South Pole" by some British Journalist. A horrible story, and true to boot. All in two weeks, which is pretty fast for me.

*can't believe her thread is still here*

I didn't just finish, but about a month ago I finished reading Romeo and Juliet for school.

Now I'm reading Jackie Chan's autobiography, which is also for school. But it's interesting. Very interesting. :amuse

[Casshern]

Finished "Wolves of the Calla" recently, but it wasn't as good as the first four books of the "The Dark Tower" saga. Currently I'm reading "Song of Susannah" and I'm halfway through already.

[ShadowGal19]

The Bean Trees, had to read it for school. It was fairly interesting and has a lot of drama imo

[Spooky_Bunny]

Lord Loss by Darren Shan

[Mangekyou_Master]

Sojourn by R.A. Salvatore

[Mecha-Kisame]

I just finished, in order, Servant of the Shard and Promise of the Witchking, both by R.A. Salvatore (<3 Arty/Jar)

And right after those two, Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell. It was just as awesome. I was quite disheartened when I finished it a few days ago, I was that enthralled by it.

[WDT]

The last book I read was Jules Verne: Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea...it's quite a sci/fi classic :amuse he was really before his time.

[FrouFrou]

Mandala by Kim Seong-Dong

[Sho]

I just finished Shaman's Crossing by Robin Hobb a few days ago, and it's the first book in the series (it was released recently). It's by the same author who wrote the Farseer Trilogy and the Fool series, so as usual, it was an excellent work. I'm looking forward to the second book now.

[Beren]

Wow, there is such a medley of books! I woulda figured everyone had just read some episode of Naruto (j/k) I just finished a book called "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell"... it was pretty good (u can always read the reviews on amazon.com)

Night Flight by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

[neko-sennin]

Just finished New Spring.

...Only to discover that I had it at my fingertips all along in a "Legends" volume I hadn't gotten around to yet. Oh well, now I'm reading the other stories in it, and having an all-around good time.

[9Tail-Hokage]

Ptolemy's Gate aka Book Three of the Bartimaeus Trilogy.

[Ruri]

I just finished 'Katherine' by Anya Seton. It's definitely one of the better historical fiction books I've read. :)

[Chamcham Trigger]

I recently finished this book that my pops forced me to read. It's called "rich dad poor dad" some book about setting up a plan to build wealth, written in a kinda unique way.

[Kakashi My Heart]

Crime and Punishment. The best book ever.

[neko-sennin]

I recently finished this book that my pops forced me to read. It's called "rich dad poor dad" some book about setting up a plan to build wealth, written in a kinda unique way.

I've read some of that. And one day I'm going to figure out how to share some of the finer points of it with other working class people so they can see just exactly *how* we're all getting screwed over. Maybe someday someone might figure out a way to counteract it without resorting to commumism. The solution somehow lies with raising other people up, rather than pulling others down. That's all I'm really sure of.

[Voynich]

Woman's Battalion by Konsalik

It's historical novel.. It's about the Russian battalion of female elite snipers ( all between 17 and 26), that was stationed on the southern front during WW2.

[yummysasuke]

Before sunrise...some really bad romantic/crime novel

[Mineko-Iwasa]

Paulo Coelho - Le Pèlerin de Compostelle

[organizedcrime]

Romance of the Three Kingdoms Volume 4; I'm finally finished with the series. I mean, the thing was great back in Volumes 2 and 3, but it's history, and wars don't end in a blaze of glory. With that said I still loved the series.

[masterheadhunter]

The Monk.

Bloody brilliant in it's badness and goodness all at once. Funny in a rape/incest/murder/witchcraft kind of way...

[nimrod]

just finished the 4th book of Narnia by C.S Lewis

[TicoTico]

Stephen King's novel collection "Nightmares and Dreamscapes". I haven't read anything for a while though I've always been an avid reader, so yesterday I borrowed some of King's books from the library. King's short novels are books I'd recommend to pretty much anybody, light but interesting.

[Shogun]

Paul Robert's The End of Oil. In summary we are all screwed. But the book could have been far shorter. So many points were repeated.

[Cæk]

I don't have much time for reading but I spent the last weekend on a book called "The Secret Adversary". It's written by Agatha Christie and it's funny. I laughed all the way through ^^

[Cæk]

wooo i jush finished Lord of the Flies, again for school but i picked up so many new things. Good book.

[Alia_Atreides]

"Miso Soup", of Ryu Murakami. Really nice. Its actually a story about this young japonese, who is a tourist guide in Tokyo, but he guides clients through the underworld of sex of Tokyo. However, his last client is a strange guy...
The book is really good in the way that tell us a lot about what is japonese society today, and, in a way, tell us about all of us, and how young people deal with the pressure of success, or fear, or money. Good book, really serius, but good. Its not for those who have a weak stomach, though.

[Yondy]

Outcast of Redwall

[thevassago]

Dean Koontz , False Memory. This book is very good if you like horror thriller type.

[Spooky_Bunny]

Twilight by Stephanie Meyer

[Sogeking]

The Bear and the Dragon by Tom Clancy
Verrrry deep book. It is not a pick-up-and-read book, you really have to concentrate to get it.
I also finished Shogun by James Clavell
It is also a very detailed book about foreign influence in Japan during the age of Exploration.

[Kaki]
