The Laws of Thinking - Bernard E. Jordan; it does challenge me why my life isn't going anywhere. For people who don't know what it is; its an inspiration book like Rich Dad & Poor Dad which I did read a while back.

1984 by George Orwell. Great book and pretty interesting. I'm currently reading more nerd books; Mass Effect: Ascension and Watchmen. I keep putting off Watchmen but I have alot of free time at school since its pretty much over so I've been reading Mass Effect alot.

Last book I completed wasthe latest release by Raymond Feist, forgot the books title, but i've read all of his literature which sums up to some 15+ books or something haha. I'm a huge fan of those type of books that are LOTR-esque.

Currently reading Terry Goodkind's Wizard's First Rule, and Ayn Rands' Atlas Shrugged (interesting, but ridiculously dry literature that gets a tad bit boring.)

I just finished reading The Chronicles of Narnia. All of it. Even though all seven books together really only make up one mid-sized book.

Now I'll go back to Nora Roberts, or some other mind numbing chick lit.

Haruki Murakami The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle Salinger meets Garcia-Marquez meets Japan. Very cool book.

Also finished the graphic novel Blankets by Craig Thompson. Very moving.

The last on I finished was The Bourne Supremacy by Robert Ludlum (RIP). I loved the movies but they are nothing like the books. Hard to read though.
Just curious but how many books do you guys read because I read a shitload of them but very few people I know actually read for enjoyment.

1984, and Animal Farm by George Orwell.
The Alchemist by Paul Coelho

The Alchemist was recommended by ScuberS, if anyone remembers him. I enjoyed all three novels quite a lot. I love satire.

The last book I read was A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess, very powerful book and very different to the film.
This was one of the last books I have read (for I don't know which time) as well. I actually think that very last book I have read was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows..in english!

EDIT: no, I remembered, it was some witty story about a demon that possessed a book, and now he's telling a story trying to convince you to burn the book so he could be free! Very interestingly written book..can't remember how was it called..

EDIT EDIT: It was a "MISTER B. GONE" by Clive Barker

Hey, where's ScuberSteve? And, are you saying "The Alchemist" is a satirical book? I reckon it could make you laugh (out of naiveness) but I don't think it's among the author's intentions

Oh no. I never called The Alchemist satirical. I just said I loved satire is all. And as for the book itself, I loved it. It really was too short for it's own good, but I really enjoyed the heck out of it. Hurray for personal legends!

ScuberSteve is uhhh... around? I guess? We talk on msn often, but that's about it. He recommend me to read Jpod, Fight Club, etc. I'm his literature bitch, or so he says.
