Default So...

Anyone read any good books lately?

I've read the House of the Spirits, Wuthering Heights, and Frankenstein these past few months. My favorite by far was the House of the Spirits, followed by Wuthering Heights.

Care to share? :]

Right now I am reading "The Waste Lands", the third book in the Dark Tower series by Stephen King, and I'm reading "The Turn of the Screw" by Henry James.

I re-read both "Brain Droppings" and "Napalm and silly putty" by George Carlin, which I have read both books a grand total of 10 times now.

I haven't actually read it lately, but I'd like to throw a shoutout for The Song of Ice and Fire series (A Game of Thrones, A Crown for Kings, A Storm of Swords) by George R.R. Martin. These are the best fantasy books EVER (and yes, I mean EVER; Tolkien ain't got nothin' on Martin) and should be read by everybody with a strong heart (I meant that strong heart stuff, too; it sometimes get a bit painful [in a good way]).

I've also been reading the Assasin Trilogy by Robin Hobb. Its pretty good. I like it.

I also had to read The Poisonwood Bible over the summer for my AP English class. That was pretty good, too. I liked it.

I've read "Cadillac Beah" by Tim Dorsey

i'd reccomend it for anyone who likes books involving mysteries, but there is a moderate ammount of language.

I read "Slaughterhouse-Five" by Kurt Vonnegut this summer in my spare time and loved it. So, I'm currently reading "Mother Night" by Vonnegut, and have collected three of his other books: "Bluebeard", "Breakfast of Champions", and "Hocus Pocus."

I've also come into possession of "The Idiot" and "The Demons" by Dostoevsky and plan on reading those when I have the time, and I was given a copy of "Flowers for Algernon" by Daniel Keyes and "Psychopathology of Everyday Life" by Sigmund Freud.

I'm so close to finally finishing Shogun by James Clavell. I can taste it.

It's a fantastic book. Everyone should read it.
