"Last book you read..."

This forum has too few people talking about books, sadly enough.

What was the last book you read? Or what are you currently reading?

Go ahead, tell us. Mention anything you'd recommend if you want.

Just finished "Invitation to a Beheading" by Nabokov. Fantastic and colourful use of language with mesmerizing dots of surrealism - just how I like it.

Currently reading The Buddha of Suburbia by Hanif Kureishi.

You'll have to read it lots of times which means, sadly enough, what faults there are will become exagerrated.

It's a good read, but a bit overrated.

I've read that aswell... an okayish book. However not greately written

Of Mice and Men is a classic.

Tell me about the Rabbits, George, and how I get to pet em and pet em, and how we live off the fat of th' lan'.

currently I'm working on a michael marshall smith novel.

it seems to be the best of the three so far (the other two were superb by the way), but recently I've just been too damn busy to read it.

I just read "Of Mice and Men" for English homework; it really is brilliant.

Shocking, but brilliant.

Must read Lord of the Flies soon, as well as Lord of the Rings.

All i will say is that i fount the book very enlightening. You will have read it yourself :P

"Lord of the Flies" - William Golding

...just fantastic, its surreal but a damn good read. Anyone who's seen the American film, the book is 10x better.
