last good book?

[dannyk]

so,

since pixies people spend a lot of their time on the site, playing word games and such, one assumes that we're well read. :D

what was the last good book you read? and of all that you've read, what's been your favourite? :p

me? i'm reading stephen king/peter straub's 'black house' (was waiting for the paperback - space constraints)

my fave will always be douglas adams' definitive 'the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy' :D

[Wisper]

well, i love books by laurell k. hamilton **the princess merideth series** and maggie shayne **vampire and witch series** ive read all there are of them, i wish they would hurry and put out more...i just cant get enough....but at the moment ive started reading The Lovely Bones by alice sebold..its supposed to be really good, i hope it is :)

Stephen King's last book in the Dark Tower Series ~ Wizard and Glass~

[skipthisone]

I just got finished with King's "From a Buick 8" and it was the first book whose twist and turns surprised me in a long time, it was great. My favorite book would be "The World According to Garp". Loved the character more than myself, just related.

I read all things King again and again and own many first editions some signed (I know geek alert). My favorite King book would have to be "IT" because it is the only book of his I could only read once, because it scared me.

Lolita! Lolita! Lolita!

I LOVED it! Not only was it the last good book I read, it is possibly the BEST book I've read. If you haven't read it then you should. I have never seen love, desire, infatuation and obsession described so perfectly.

I also read David Sedaris' 'Me Talk Pretty One Day' recently (on an entirely different kind of tack) and thought that was great too.

I like twisted stuff.............

am just finishing the second book written by Jim Knipfell.
The first one, Slackjaw was excellent. I believe he writes a column for the paper, though I can't remember right now which one.

(his column is called Slackjaw, but I'm guessing most haven't heard of him)


Takes me about a year to get thru a book though....can't seem to make time to read!

[Uncle Silky]

i'm in the middle of Ovid's 'Metamorphoses', but the last truly bad-ass book i read was probably 'Technicolor Pulp', by Arty Nelson.

[legend]

Currently reading Stephen King, Bag of Bones. If I was pushed for a favourite, then I'd have to say James Patterson, Kiss The Girls.

[jennaflower]

Anything by Nicholas Sparks... just read his latest... Nights in Rodanthe... a great book...

[2-4-tea]

Last good book I read was James Patterson's Violets are Blue, I enjoy the Alex Cross series

[Scarecrow]

Anne McMaffrey's latest Pern book and the newist book in the "Left Behind" series.

Ok you've hit on one of my favorte past times. I love to read when I'm not at work or surfin the web (hanging out at lot at pixies) I'm reading.

Right now I'm reading Black Cherry Blues by James Lee Burke Been on this crime fiction kick lately.

As for a favorite how can I pic just one.
Skinny Legs and All by Tom Robbins has to close to the top of my list but anything by Tom is great.

Coyote Blue by Christopher Moore all his books are great he writes a lot of what I would call horror humor.

Skipped Parts by Tim Sandlin a great story about two young kids learning about sex.

A Widow for One Year by John Irving hard to pick a favorit with him I love all his books.

Out of Sight by Elmore Leonard the book is much better then the movie.

Skin Tight by Carl Hiaasen any time you want to LOL just pick up one of his books.

Pest Control by Bill Fitzhugh just shows what can happen if someone miss understand you add and a little luck.

I have to agree with dannyk too the Hitchhiker's Guide Trilogy (not sure why it is called that there are 5 book in all ) is great have the book , tapes of the BBC radio show and the movie.

I couldn't agree with you more Booger, I haven't read a Tom Robbins book that I didn't like...though I think "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues" is my fave

I just finished up "Five Mile House" by Karen Novak....ghost/suspense. The ending wasn't impressive but the book kept me hooked.

Right now I'm reading "What the Body Remembers" by Shauan Singh Baldwin.....so far, it's in the category of books that I can put down but have not completely bored me to tears yet.

Last good book: The Sexual Life of Catherine M. by Catherine Millet

Favorite book? I have a TON of books; I don't have one favorite, but I'll list some:

The Andy Warhol Diaries Edited by Pat Hackett (actually still reading it; it's so damn long)

You Can Save The Animals by Ingrid Newkirk

Healing with the Angels by Doreen Virtue (all her books are excellent)

Van Gogh Face to Face the Portraits (various contributors)

James Dean The Mutant King by David Dalton

Brush Up Your Shakespeare! by Michael Macrone

The Big Book of Filth by Jonathon Green

[Scarlett]

Reading is also one of my favorite things to do. Recetnly, I have been going through the entire Bentley Little collection but I am a bit burnt out on him at the moment. Horror is my genre of choice. Anne Rice...Stephen King.
Favorite books ever would have to be It by Stephen King and Gone With the Wind.

[dogmajay]

most stuff by Douglas Coupland. great stuff.

[Devillishgirl]

Just finished "Guilty Pleasures" the first book in the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series by Laurell K. Hamilton.....incredible book!

[dannyk]

'Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter'?? Do I smell a law suit for copyright infringement here? :p

Benn rereading some of my older books, haven't gotten anything new yet. Is it embarassing to say that I enjoyed the "The Cat Who..." series by Lilian Jackson Braun?? :D

[skipthisone]

Scarlett I am an avid...no no obsessive King reader/collector but I just got the guts to re-read It for the 2nd time 2 weeks ago, it was worth, and definitly the most scary book I have ever read.

Currently I am reading Rice's new book Blackwood Farm, combo of Mayfairs & Vampires, so far it is better than her last few, which in my opinion were too short.

[TinTennessee]

Laurell K. Hamilton is a new discovery for me and I just finished Narcissis in Chains..it was very unusal and I loved it. I also love Dean Koontz, J.D. Robb, Laura Van Wormer.

[Saddaddy]

I just got through with "Under fire" by W.E.B. Griffin
i have to say he is one of my favorite Authors
