| What Was the Last Book You Read? #6 previous thread I re-read Better than Running at Night by Hillary Frank simply because it rocks, and I learn something new about art every time I read it. __________________ + Susan "Everything I've touched has been diminished." | |||

| Pure Drivel by Steve Martin. It was one of those books that was made up of random paragraphs and stories- it didn't really make much sense, but I found it amusing. Like this paragraph that came from the middle of nowhere: Quote:

| i think it was...oh yeah! the five people you meet in heaven by mitch albom. i cried throughout the entire book. it's one of the best books in the world. the reasons why he meets the 5 people and how they're related to him (and what each has done to the other) is truly amazing, and inspirational. it's an amazing book.  __________________ i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart | |||

| The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. It's so wonderful. I cried and cried. The characters are real - they're flawed, they do the things that we do - and I can imagine myself doing the exact same thing if I were them. You hurt, laugh and cry along with the characters. It's about life and death and I recommend it to anyone who hasn't already read it. __________________ she can stop traffic, she can do magic ; | |||

| Breathing Room by Susan Elizabeth Philips. I hadn't read her books in a long time, so I was so happy when I got it from the library. But I think it's kind of stupid. First Lady was so much better. __________________ she can stop traffic, she can do magic ; | |||

| Murder On The Orient Express by Agatha Christie. It's a fantastc book how she does it is really quite amazing. It only would've been better if my sisters hadn't told me that it was so good that I already had a high standard of the book and so it wasn't that good after all. If you get it, that is  I realised that I read a lot. __________________ she can stop traffic, she can do magic ; | |||

| City of Pearl by Karen Traviss. I really liked the social science fiction aspects of the book. The ecology aspect reminded me of Sheri S. Tepper's books.  The hinted at romance never worked out though, so I was disappointed with that. end I look forward to reading the sequel, which comes out next week. And there will be a third book in the series, which will be released sometime next year.Last edited by Soz : 10-24-2004 at 09:32 PM. | |||

| I just finished with The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan and am now onto Night by Elie Wiesel. In between those two I was reading Blow Fly by Patricia Cornwell. I have a very wide range of interests... Of course the first two I had to read for my English class, I read Patricia Cornwell for fun. | |||
