what was the last book you brought and is it worth reading?

Answer 1

it is called "my sisters keeper" it is really good.

Answer 2

The last book I bought was The Snow-Walker Trilogy by Catherine Fisher from Amazon.co.uk, which contains three stories in one; The Snow-Walker's Son, The Empty Hand and The Soul Thieves.

I have to say it is one of the best stories I have ever read in my life, including Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings. It is a tale full of sorcery and swords and dark times.

The blurb on the back of the book says:

From the swirling mists and icy realms beyond the edge of the world came the Snow-walker Gudrun - to rule the Jarl's people with fear and sorcery. No sword is a match for her rune-magic and it seems the land may never be free from her tyranny. But there is a small band of outlaws determined to defeat Gudrun and restore the rightful Jarl. This trilogy follows their quest from the first terrifying journey to meet the mysterious Snow-walker's son, to the final battle in the land of the soul thieves.

How can that not get you interested? The only thing missing is a little bit of romance, but a girl can dream right? Hehe but honestly, this book is worth every single penny and well worth te read.

Answer 3

I can tell you the last book that I bought and my opinion of it, but "worth reading" is purely a subjective thing, depending on what types of books and subject matter you are interested in.

The last book that I bought and read was "Bloodstream" by Tess Gerritsen. She is a medical mystery writer and the book was original, engaging and educational as well as entertaining - everything except the ending which I personally did not like the ending and felt it was too contrived.

Below is a link to the book and if you check out her website, she has an area with creepy medical facts which even my 12 year old thought was interesting, such as "A Tumor with Teeth", "Was Dracula Rabid" and "Moody Fingers" (if you are a man and your ring finger is longer than your index finger, you may be prone to depression).

Answer 4

The last book I read was Anne Frank: The Diary of A Young Girl.

Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl consists of diary entries written by a Jewish teenager named Anne Frank. Anne Frank is comfortably living with her mother, father, and sister in Amsterdam when the Nazis start taking Jews to concentration camps. The Frank family is forced to flee from their home and live in the building where Anne's father worked with another Jewish family by the name of Van Daan and an old dentist named Dussel. The eight Jews hide in these quarters, called the "Secret Annexe", for two years. In her diary, Anne Frank encounters the difficulties of becoming an adult, the progress of World War II, and the philosophy that men should be valiant and happy no matter what.
The book is amazing. I particularly suggest teenagers and other Jews to read this book, for teenagers will relate to Anne's experiences as she ages in the book from thirteen to fifteen years old. Jews will learn about the suffering of their ancestors and everybody will learn about what happened in the past and what we should learn from it.

Answer 5

The Portrait by Iain Pears

Bought it last weekend and simply couldn’t put it down; a real page-turner, or at least I thought so. The genius lays not in the tale itself (there are very few surprises) but in the form, in the monologue; in the study of love and hatred, and how these emotions fuel creativity. Only a writer of Pears caliber and craftsmanship, can pull off such a coup.

Next on my list of books to read, “Terrorist” by John Updike.

Answer 6

Albert Camus' "The Outsider" - a perceptive book. It answered questions I had been having about myself and why I hardly ever seem to feel real, strong emotion - when it's required by society, I manufacture it. As in fact everyone does. For example, I bump into an old friend in the street - and of course we exchange a warm flurry of ''hello''s, ''how-are-you''s, ''how's-the-wife''s, when in reality I feel indifferent towards the person. Call me cold-hearted, but in fact if you look closely all of us do the same thing, every single day. Put simply, it would be impossible to live without that kind of emotional dishonesty. Imagine what would happen to your friendships, your marriage, if you suddenly decided to practise absolute emotional honesty. Read "The Outsider", and you will discover the story of a man who lives just like that.

Answer 7

I last bought:

"Sword and Blossom," a non-fiction book about a British officer who fell in love with a Japanese woman while he was stationed in Tokyo in the early part of the 20th Century.

"The Dead Beat," a look at obituaries and the people that write them

And, "The Care and Feeding of Books"

The first two were good. The last, not so much.

Answer 8

I recently bought a book by Stephen R. Covey "The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People". So far, I am learning a lot about myself and other people as well. It is worth reading and I highly recommend it.

Answer 9

The last book i read that was worth reading was It's not the end of the world. And I think that it is an amazing novel by Judy Blume.

Answer 10

Cruel And Unusual by Patricia Cornwell. Love the series of her books with the character Dr Kay Scarpetta. This one holds you in suspense all the way through. Main character is a coroner and works closely with police and F.B.I. in solving murders. Great writer. Can't put down books!

Answer 11

Picked up a book called "The Knights Templar: The History and Myths of the Legendary Order" by Sean Martin. It was definitely a fascinating read about this famous military religious order and their rise to power and their ultimate doom.
