What's the best book you've read lately?

Just wondering, for those who read what’s the best book you’ve read recently? I think I will prepare myself to be inundated with “Twilight” responses…I’m currently reading “The Lovely Bones” and it’s pretty great. Sad but a good story and well-written.

Answer #1

to kill a mocking bird

Answer #2

If you’ve never read Hunter Thompson’s work- I strongly encourage it. His cult following isn’t undeserved in the least.

Also: Lolita, Rapture for the Geeks, Tropic of Cancer, Notes from the Underground, This Boys Life, A Fan’s Notes, A Confederacy Of Dunces, In The Belly Of The Beast, Kabal, A Heart Breaking Work of Staggering Genius, Running With Scissors, Trinity (Leon Uris), Choke/ or Fight Club(Chuck Palahniuk), Everything Is Illuminated, Men Without Chests, The Sand Pebbles, Lies And the Lying Liars Who Tell Them, Model Behaviour(the book has nothing to do with the movie, I promise), Song of Solomon, Ulysses, A Prayer for Owen Meany, Anna Karenina, The Importance of Being Earnest, Of Human Bondage, Seven Pillars of Wisdom, Wizards First Rule, Dispatches.

and if you haven’t read Kiss Me, Judas, go do so now.

Answer #15

To Kill A Mockingbird… It’s like my favourite book. It the fictional story of a girl growing up in a southern Alabama town during the Depression. I read it last year (grade 8) for a book report and I liked it so much that I read it like three more timed during the summer.

Also, The Mortal Instruments trilogy. They’re fantasy with some romance… really good books if your a Harry Potter/Twilight fan. I read all of them in like a week… as soon as you start reading them, you cant stop (at least that’s what it was like for me)

Other good books are: Pride and Prejudice, All-American Girl and its sequel, House of Night series, Harry Potter, The Giver, and Tom Sawyer

Answer #16

the twilight series. lol

Answer #17

Witch Child. Its a really good book. :D

Answer #18

Currently reading Memoirs of a Geisha by author Arthur Golden….On the 7th Chapter far so good.. the book gives an insight into the history of Japan and how they value escorts back in those days…. Its fantasting to read how geisha (escorts) were perceived as a status thing back then and to be “owned” by a wealthy business man was consider a privileged, giving up their life of ever being married and having kids…definitely an eye opener and very interesting book.
