QOTD: bookish
question of the day: what is the last book you read and what did you think of it?
I finally got around to the latest Harry Potter. It kind of bummed me out!
Freakonomics. What a stupid man
The Dark Half by Stephen King. It was pretty good..A bit creepy though
I think Summons by Jeffery Archer. It was pretty cool.
James Patterson's 1st degree.... LOVED it
Chicken soup for the shepherd.....very spiritual
devinci code - was a pretty darn good book!
The last book I read was Forever Odd by Dean Koontz. It was a follow-up to Odd Thomas which I liked. I didn't like this one as much.
President Kennedy: Profile of Power : -- by Richard Reeves. Very good if your into that sort of thing
Honestly, I hate reading, so the last book I read was forced upon me during senior year of high school, The Joy Luck Club. The book was pretty interesting, even though I'm not Asian or female. It made me realize that I am too much like the wood, bending for too many peoples' opinions.
The last book I read was A Million Little Pieces. It was admirable how James Frey came back from the depths of prostitution and turned his life around. Oh, and **** you Oprah...I want my money back.
Memoirs of a Geisha....I thought it's really f'ed up when women are treated like objects of entertainment. I say off with their winnies~
watched the movie Troy and decided to read Homer's Iliad. Very interesting stuff.
sounds pathetic - but i can't remember the last book i've completed. it has to be over four months ago. i'm currently stuck on the book "Blink" by Malcolm Gladwell - i can't seem to finish it and i refuse to start another book till i'm done. i should just read it this week and be over with it. as you can tell - since the book is a struggle for me to finish...i think it is rather blehhhh.
after years of hating vonnegut for some strange reason (being forced to read slaughterhouse 5 in school, ugh) i decided to give him another shot and read cats cradle, which is probably one of the best books i've ever read. it kept my interest throughout the whole thing, was funny etc.
Hugging Your Customer by Jack Mitchell. It was for the sales meeting last week. I typically don’t like being told what to read, but I was pleasantly surprised. I went in with low expectations and it actually wasn’t that bad. Although, I am looking forward to going back to reading my British Chick Lit.
in cold blood, truman capote
I read "How to Write Unmaintainable Code", and then got a job here.
The novelization of the movie "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle".
I'm really big into fiction, so I read the bible.
I'm a complete moron that only reads what Oprah suggests. Today's book was "Contents: One Dozen Doughnuts"
I couldn't tell you the last book that I read cover to cover and finished. I'm not really into novels (Thanks, I'll wait for the movie), and my short attention span doesn't help much. I read books that can be read piecemeal. Currently, I'm working on "America, The Book" and "The Complete Calvin and Hobbes". Yes, I'm 14 mentally.
Must Love Dogs. Better book than movie. Read it in a day... it was cute... not exactly a literary masterpiece, but enjoyable none the less.
Well, I'm about 90% done with Welcome to the Monkey House. It's a collection of 25 short stories by Kurt Vonnegut. I've read most of Vonnegut's books, and, in my opinion, the quality of his work can range from complete crap to pure genius. This collection of short stories truly exemplifies Vonnegut's lowest lows. There are a few gems, but overall, I feel like most of these stories were written to be sold to Reader's Digest or some other publication geared toward's bored Housewives. So yeah, overall, I'm not too happy with this book.
Acid Dreams... I enjoyed it alot.

I'll save you some time and tell you how it ends. Everybody dies.
700 Sundays - Billy Crystal. Actually, one of the best reads I've come accross. Short, only 182 pages, yet draws you in. Especially if one is into the music industry... No naked pics though... Billy does have a great arse..
