So what is the last book you have read? Considering the fact that maybe some of you people read out there smile

For me it has been a long time since I've read a book, but I grabbed my book stash from my parents house and yesterday I finished:

Desperation by Stephen King

A book about an ancient evil that is unearthed in a small mining town called Desperation, evil and gruesome stuff abound (good ol' King). One of his older novels, also has a mirror novel, but I can't recall the name.

Next I hope to start on Lisey's Story also by Stephen King.

Oh geese, I can't remember... the last one I remember is State of Fear by Michael Crichton, but that was quite some time ago and I am rather certain I read something else since then.

Watchmen is amazing. I'm currently re-reading That Rough Magic by Lackey/Freer/Flint. I just finished reading back through David Weber's Honorverse books...gotta love space opera!

A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J. Gaines.
Had to read this for English. Trust me, if you're not interested books that are based around the inequality African-Americans faced, or are written in a Southern accent, AVOID THIS BOOK! I couldn't believe there was actually a movie. If you didn't like the book, then the movie was just as bad.
Before that was To Kill a Mockingbird. I don't care how people praise it, how many awards it's received, or that it's a Pulitzer Prize winner. I NEARLY KILLED MYSELF WHILE BEING FORCED TO READ THIS AND WATCH THE MOVIE.

Thats what I am reading at school right now. I hate it. It is really boring and we have to listen to the audiobook while reading it so thats even worse.

State of Fear - Michael Crichton and a few Dean Koontz books. All cracking reads!

Narcissus and Goldmund by Herman Hesse.

Started out reading it for my college lit course and couldn't put it down.

As a librarian I fully endorse this thread! :-)
