What's the last great book you read?

Answer 1

The last book I read was I Am the Messenger, by Markus Zusask. I read a book by him a few years ago and I picked it up because I liked his style. It's not what I normally read, but it was a good change.
The last book I read that was all my style and that I completely loved was The Gift of Asher Lev, by Chaim Potok.

Answer 2

A e book called Montacute residing house. as properly as being an spectacular e book, it became set interior the 1500's at a manor residing house interior the county the place I used to stay and while examining it, it became strange listening to names of cities I went to on a daily basis. The plot became diverse and the characters have been very interesting. the front disguise (which I many times decide a e book on) seems and feels astounding. BQ: variety. It must be fable or historic Fiction.

Answer 3

Gosh, there are so many great books that I've read! Here's a short list of a few of my favs:
Embers by Sandor Marai (translated by Carol Brown Janeway)
Heaven's Coast by Mark Doty
Mossflower by Brian Jacques
One Door Away From Heaven by Dean Koontz

Answer 4

"Into Thin Air" by Jon Krakauer. This is a really good book. It's a true story about climbers on Mount Everest (the author was one of the climbers) in May of 1996 who are on the mountain when a terrible storm hits. Really good read, I couldn't put it down after I started reading it yesterday.

Answer 5

I choose my books very selectively, so they're all great. The last two were Miep Gies's book on Anne Frank, and a book in which writers explain their techniques in Q&A format, called Novel Ideas.

Answer 6

I really enjoyed "Reiffen's Choice" by S. C. Butler and "Ophelia" by Lisa Klein.

"Reiffen's Choice" is the first book in the new "Stoneways Trilogy." It's a great read, especially if you're into fantasy.

"Ophelia" is the story of Ophelia from "Hamlet" and how she grows up and what led to the fateful scene at the river - with a surprise ending.

Answer 7

Snow by Orhan Pamuk, the winner of the 2006 Nobel Literature

Answer 8

Decipher by Stel Pavlou...I've read it 5 times now, by far and away the BEST book on the market. It's basically about the end of the world.

It's a story book, but it's also got a long bibliography in the back.

WARNING: don't read it if you are heavily christian/religious...it casts serious aspersions on the structures of religion, and will really make you question alot of what the bible tells you

Seriously though, READ IT! it's excellent

Answer 9

The Red Badge of Courage, takes place during the Civil War

Answer 10

Would you create a child to save another child? That's the premise of My Sister's Keeper. The younger sister decides to sue her parents for medical emancipation - they plan to have her donate a kidney to her sister who is dying of kidney failure, though she also has a rare form of leukemia. Her kidneys shutting down are a side effect of some other treatment.

So many questions and not enough answers. I think it will stay with me for quite some time. I had a bit of trouble with the ending, but overall, the content was excellent.
