What's the last book you've read?

The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown (author of The Da Vinci Code)
It's a freaking kickass book, definitely better than the previous two, which is really saying something.

It is such a good book. I would suggest you move onto some other fantasy titles now.

It's indeed quite good. But I still prefer Harry Potter and Darren Shan above this series now.
Maybe the books are badly translated, or maybe the writer just isn't as good as JK Rowling and Darren Shan, but I don't like his way of writing.
It's too dramatic, too long in some parts, which keeps it from being an essential book for me.

You may be right about the pace of the novels. Sometimes you just want to get on with the story but he doesn't unfortunately. If you want a faster paced novel, try Brent Weeks' Night Angel Trilogy as they are fantasy with a whole lot of action. If you dont care at all about fantasy however but want a fast-paced book, try reading anything by Matthew Reilly. When reading any of his novels, it is like watching an action movie. He is so good and his next novel comes out right in the middle of my major tests so that sucks a bit.
You had me confused with the translation comment but then I realised that you dont neccessarily read novels in English. I am

Well I've read Lost Symbol, and I must say that honestly I did not like it much (Well that or someone put a fake E-book as a joke, but I doubt that). Oh well ,going to start on the Devery Saga soon (a series of books by Katherine Kerr).

The last book I read was Founding Brothers by Joseph Ellis, which was mandatory summer reading for my US I class. And it was bad. All it did was add useless elaboration on key concepts in US history. The book was 60% flair, 35% history you already knew, and 5% useless history you didn't know. I got a 100% on the project for it, though.

Last one for me was A Study in Scarlet, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
