What's the last good book yuh read??

Postby **crazybalhead** » January 26th, 2010, 7:21 am

Just finished Duma Key, by Steven King. As a wannabe artist, I found his description of the process very very interesting. It had the usual creepy Steven King sheit in it too.

Also read the Valkyries, by Paulo Cuelho recently. Short book, somewhat autobiographical. very simple, and very strange. You may have heard of the Alchemist by this same author, Christian base, with some heavy supernatural overtones.

So share yuh recommendations and experiences.

That was book on the ethical treatment of Grandmothers Larafan? Sounds like the elders were abused by the sound of it.

I read the Road, by Cormac McCarthy. Same guy who did No Country for Old Men

was pretty hard to get into, his writing style is not like most writers.
He writes in short sentences.

(P.S I had to read it for a Class)

But the book was pretty good. weird, but good. The movie for it came out last year, have not seen it yet though.

Also read The Handmaid's Tale (B.S)

Sounds interesting. :mrgreen:

I also read Crisis by Robin Cook recently. It was arite. The "twist' wass a kinda let down at the end. Think he got too taken up in the medical mystery and courtroom shennanigans.

When my wife tries to explain how the sewing machine works, it's like explaining VTEC to Hottgyul.

Ah could hem meh pants, and sew a button, but thais it. :lol:

Dance of the Gods by Nora Roberts, the last of the trilogy. The books started of in the colonial era and ended in the 21st century. It was a very captivating story line with a lot of twist and mystery.

I also have a habit of re-reading novels and books, such as to kill a mockingbird and the lord of the rings trilogy my favourite books in my collectionâ€¦

Flyboys-an account of several Navy Pilots shot down in the Pacific during WWII

Imperial Cruise- Excellent read if you are into history-It shows that the US policies today are a continuation of policies at the turn of the century

Both books are by James Bradley-The guy that wrote Flags of our Fathers.

These books are not pro US -in fact they show both sides of the stories-

Later

Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell

http://www.amazon.com/Cloud-Atlas-Novel ... 0375507256

seemingly separate stories each linked to each other... really good book

Sometimes I just doh know what books to buy, every now and then I end up buying a real turd of a book. For example, bought a book that was supposedly a historical representation of the life of Attilah the Hun, though it woulda be real good. Turns out is a pseudo historian rambling on and on about horse and bow and arrow techniques and some other crap. Did not finish it.

After reading the Lord of the rings trilogy, got the Silmarillion as a gift, never finished that either, Tolkien was clearly off his rocker when he was writing that one. Mushrooms or LSD or something.

Recently read two books from the early 80's that oddly enough can be applicable today.

The Fifth Horseman by Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre (sp?)
Chameleon by William Diehl

Damn good books IMHO.

I've kinda lost my zeal to read tho, still behind on the last Harry Potter - which inevitably kept me from going to the movie, and the latest dan brown - the lost symbol.
