I'm asking because i'm looking for a good book to read. Any recommendations?

high fidelity by nick hornby. you will love it

Um.... I read the true version of Frankenstein.... But there is another called Memoirs of a Geisha and my dad is really into Stephen King's Gunslinger. He read like five of the books in a week. Can you belive him? He said he read the bible in a week. I don't know... He says a lot of thingies... But whatever book you read I hope you enjoy them enough to cry or laugh if needed. And another good author is the same guy who wrote fight club. He is kinda morbid. If you like morbid try him. Ciao!

I meant another book that has nothing to do with Frankenstein.

I read "Memoirs of a Geisha" I couldnt put that book down, it took me less then a week to read it. Good book:P

The last book(s) I read (that aren't school-related) were the His Dark Materials trilogy. I liked them a lot, they're pretty entertaining and well-written.

Al Franken's "Lies and the Lying Liars..." was probably the last book I actually finished reading. Now I'm reading "Atheism: The Case Against God" which has been fascinating so far.

The Little Train That Could

Seriously,

The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test and Snow Blind.

Renal Pathophysiology. Trust me, it's not going to make a very good movie.

Right now (when I have time) I've been reading a book on world religions, which I find quite interesting. Also anything to do with Medieval history or Wiccan beliefs; although I am not a Wiccan, I find some of their views intriging. Alot of it has to do with karma-and in that I totally believe.

The last book I read was No Logo, I'm in the middle of reading I shithead, a life in punk by Joey "Shithead" Keithley

well, last book i read was the Che bio by Anderson, i recomend if only if you are truly interested in his life and the Motorcycle diaries by ernesto guevara, that was great and the movie is coming out soon. You should also take a glance at Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman, talks about the decline of our society due to the extreme influence of the media.
Last book i recomend is anything by Irvine Welsh. You have Trainspotting, E, The Acid House, Filth, and Porno which is the second part to Trainspotting. Anything by him is amazing and you get sucked into it really quickly.
*on trainspotting you have to get used to the language, at the beginning you have to read out loud until you get used to the dialect.
Good luck on your book search

I'm reading that right now. I've been meaning to read it for flippin ever, and finally got around to it.

My favorite book is probably Running With Scissors by Augusten Burroughs. That's some seriously good shit. His other books are great too.

Last book I read was "Driving with Shannon" by S.A Robinson, a true story ,set in 1984 ,about two punks from Orono, Maine that just decide to travel south . It's an awesome book, which I would recommend to everyone. Before that I started reading this book called" Finger Prints of the Gods", about the possibility of a lost civilization(not Atlantis) and how the pyramids in Mexico and Egypt are related.It's quite mind blowing.

I still like "A Wrinkle In Time" too. For some strange reason that book reminds me of that song "Down In the Park" or that song reminds me of that book.

In preparation for the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince coming out soon, I've been re-reading the series for the billionth time! Halfway through the fifth right now.

Last non-HP book I read was Jemima J.

hmm...last one i read was rules of attractions by bret easton ellis, which is about sex, drug etc lives of college students in camden i think? Wanted to see the film, but never got round to it, so i decided to read that book instead.

I'm so stoked..:D

The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemmingway was the last book I read.
My friend recommended this book, "The Divine Comedy" but I haven't read it yet. From what he's told me, it sounds really good. Maybe a really good summer read.
