Last 5 books or so you read

[Dan]

I'm just curious. Well, it doesn't have to be 5, just like, list some books you've read recently, are going to read, or are currently reading. Here are my about 10:

Fight Club
Asimov's Foundation series (6 books)
Life of Pi
A Clockwork Orange
1984

I'm currently reading Brave New World, which was written in I think 1931. I'm about to read One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Catch 22, and then after that I think Kite Runner, maybe a couple more by Anthony Burgess, definitely Slaugherhouse Five, and then I dunno. My roommate gave me Fight Club to read, and it had been awhile (about 2 months) since I'd finished the Foundation series and I read Fight Club in two days and it got me all stoked again. My favorite 2 books are Lord of the Flies and A Clockwork Orange, though. Most of the time a really good book doesn't have to be very long. 200 pages or so. Not bad. Not intimidating at all.

[stamford Dman]

I recently read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, and I'm currently reading the Time Machine by H.G. Wells

[bringthewood]

I read the Ender Series by Orson Scott Card. Best sci-fi ever next to the Redwall Series.

[BlueDevil14]

I Am Legend by Richard Matheson. The inspiration for the movie "Land of the Dead" Voted one of the Best all time vampire novels.

[Mad-Max]

Reading Whos On First right now, by Edward Buckley Jr., really quite a good book.

Recently read:
Of Mice And Men
Roll Of Thunder Hear My Cry
Animal Farm
and Talking Irish.

[The Doors]

Dante's Divine Comedy almost done with it
Rand's Anthem
Crime & Punishment
Desai's Clear Light of Day
de Sade's Philosophy in the Bedroom

[goalieskcickay]

I read the Ender Series by Orson Scott Card. Best sci-fi ever next to the Redwall Series.

Despite my love for both the series you just named, the Dune series and the Dark Tower series both own them. And Redwall got really boring after the exact same plot 12+ times.

[WestSideLa X eR]

Dante's Divine Comedy almost done with it


Mad props if you finished all three. East coast (read: harvard, princeton, yale) professors consider the divine comedies the "basic" books that you must've read in order to hold an intelligent conversation. In other words, they won't talk to you unless you've read the divine comedies.

I've read:

The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro
Silence by Shusaku Endo
KR by KR (graffiti art book)
Mythology by Edith Hamilton
The Adventures of Augie March - Saul bellow

[Formerlaxdemon]

David Morrell's The Fifth Profession

Koushun Takami's Battle Royale

A.E. Hotchner's Papa Hemingway

Thomas Friedman's From Beiruit to Jerusalem

Trevanian's Shibumi

[LymanLax28]

1984 - George Orwell

Frankenstein - Mary Shelley

Never Let Me Go - Kazuo Ishiguro

Brave New World - Aldous Huxley

I'm about to start The Scarlet Letter.

Very very true. I only got partway through High Rhulain before I finally admitted that Jacques has run out of ideas.

I am currently reading the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan after a brief break from it over the past year or so. I'm on the 7th out of 12 books so I still have somewhere around 5,400 pages left in the series. After that, I want to finish reading Loch which I stopped reading somewhere around 4 years ago, reread the Dark is Rising series by Susan Cooper, and maybe start the King Arthur series.

And I forgot to mention that I'm going to join Battle of the Books (anybody else have it at their school?) at my school, so I'll have to read around 3 other young adult books. All in all I'm gonna have a busy year.

I got sick of the Redwall series in around 7th grade. I read like 12 of them and they were great for me when I started them (I was 9), but then I started moving on to different stuff. When I was a kid I was seriously addicted to reading. I've never been a fast reader (which explains the 28 on reading on the ACT) but I've always loved it and understood it. I like books better than movies. I don't mean, like, comparing the same book to the same movie, I mean I'd rather read a good book than watch a movie.

I've heard that before as well, but considering i might have a philosophy/ religion minor, i figured it would pay off immensely to have this book in my repetoire.

[MainLax28]

The Scarlet letter- English book, IMO most pointless book ever

Noah's Flood- Gives facts about there actually being a Noah's flood in the Mediterrian. Great book so far, but a little hard to get through.

The Great Santini- English book- The best book I have read in a long time. Definately one of my favorites.

Slaughterhouse Five- English book- Hard as piss to get through until I got to around chapter 4 or 5, than it actually wasn't that bad.

Of Mice and Men- English book- Really good book, plus it was only around 100 pages, which is really short for summer reading im my school.
