What Was The Last Book You Read? #12
 

There were 344 posts in the last thread.

Last book was American Gods by Neil Gaiman. I liked it, but not as much as Stardust. I was a bit disappointed with the ending, really, a bit anticlimatic. But Neil Gaiman has his idiosyncratic way of writing and to say the least, his stories are always very interesting and quite addictive, even if you have to be in the mood for them sometimes.

Good Grief by Lolly Winston

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini (sp?). 'Twas incredible, highly recommended.

Jane Austen - Persuasion

Stardust by Neil Gaiman

Man's Search for Meaning
by Victor Frankl

The Kite Runner! I've heard it's really good, I've been wanting to read it for ages. Oh, you lucky girl.

I just finished reading all three books of the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer.

Scent of Darkness by Christina Dodd

Not sure which one I read last because my books kinda run together, but these are the last two:

Force of Nature -- Suzanne Brockmann

Almost Dead -- Lisa Jackson

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Anne Fadiman - Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader
J.D. Salinger - Franny and Zooey

Finished The Scarlet Letter today, pretty much what I expected, predictable, but not bad. Great imagery.

I felt like I should post this somwhere, cause I just found it so odd. There isn't really a general thread on the board, so I'll just post it here. :lol:

In Time in the statistics column, it said 25% of US adults hadn't read one book in the last year. Is it just me, or is that crazy?

Alligator Strip by Chris Haslam.

It was ok, pretty enjoyable and good for a holiday read.

It's not just you. How can that be true?! I mean I know illiteracy rates are always higher than I think but a quarter?! That's insane. What do people do in their spare time?
