What were the last 3 books that you've read, and which one was the best?

Answer 1

The Memory Keeper's Daughter- excellent but heartbreaking
Marly and Me- delightful and heartwarming
The Kite Runner...The best of the three...this book helped me to understand the situation in Afganastan better than years of news reports because of the personal point of view.

Answer 2

The only books I have been reading lately are stories to my kids.

Other than these the last one I read for my own enjoyment was "Why Men Lie, and Women Cry" and the one before was "Why Men Don't Listen, and Women Can't Read Maps" They are both written by an American couple called Barbara and Allan Pease. I could not choose a favourite because I found them both extremely entertaining. Very funny, and not at all sexist either way. They are a fantastic and funny couple the authors and I am looking forward to finding any other projects they have done together.

Answer 3

The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella
a biography of Jane Austen, I think the author was Claire Tomlinson
The Valley of Horses by Jean M. Auel

The Valley of Horses was the best. The Undomestic Goddess was great but it's hard to respect a book I read in a day. The biography had some good bits but was weirdly disjointed.

Answer 4

The last three I've read are:
1. The Visitation by Frank Peretti
2. Trixie Belden #11 by Kathryn Kenny
3. Trixie Belden #12 by Kathryn Kenny

My most favorite out of the three is The Visitation. It's a great book! Frank Peretti is a good author.

Answer 5

I'd Tell You I Love You But Then I'd Have To Kill You by Ally Carter
Blue Bloods by Melissa De La Cruz
Buried by Robin Merrow MacCready

All were 'good' enough to keep me reading til the last page. They were different from one another though. I'd Tell You I Love You But...was very funny and sarcastic. Blue Bloods was a very exciting read, a vampire book. Buried was more of a mystery, a girl blocks out the memory of her alcoholic mom's death and spirals into bits of insanity. Definitely darker than the other two. I'm torn between the first two as to which is my 'favorite.'

Answer 6

I have read, "My Sister's Keeper", "100 Strokes of the brush before bed", and "Cut". I can't really pick which one I like best. I liked them all, but I guess if I had to choose one, it would be My Sisters Keeper. 100 Strokes of the brush before bed is about a 15 year old girl that goes from being a virgin to having sex with multiple guys (orgy) for her 16th birthday? It's something along the lines of that. It does keep you interested I guess. But I loved My Sisters Keeper. I never expected that ending. I cried on some parts, but all in all it was really good. These are obviously all quick reads for some. I finished each of them in less than a day.

Answer 7

1. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
2. Anthem by Ayn Rand
3. Fountainhead by Ayn Rand

Fountainhead was the best for a number of reasons. First, I found Brave New World to be kind of dry because it contained almost no characterization. Anthem was too short - only 105 pages - but Fountainhead is long enough to have a complex plot... plus, if I write a good enough essay about it, I can get a scholarship. ;)

Answer 8

Dinosaur Planet by Anne McCaffrey
Cube Route by Piers Anthony
Magician: Apprentice by Raymond E. Feist

Of these I would have to say Magician is the best one. I am currently reading the second book of the series, Magician: Master.

Answer 9

Matthew Reilly's '7 Deadly Wonders'.
James Rollins 'Black Order'.
Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child's 'The Book of the Dead'.
And I especially liked Matt Reilly's 7 Deadly Wonders and am awaiting his next book anxiously. I have read all of his books and his next one or maybe the one after that is supposed to be a sequel or some such to 'Temple' which was exemplary.

Answer 10

The Origin of Species by C. Darwin, The Collected Works of Lewis Carrol, and The Art of Political Manipulation by William H. Riker, Yale University Press 1986.
They were all pretty good. I think it is to hard to choose best, they are different.
