[Guest Sean O'Haire]

I bought Bleachers and The Last Juror by John Grisham. Only read Bleachers so far.

[Johnny Latino Heat]

Lemme see, I'm just finishing Blackwood Farm by Anne Rice, and before that I read A Time To Kill by John Grisham, Misery by Stephen King and Merrick by Anne Rice. Next: probably Insomnia by Stephen King.

[TheGame3000uk]

I just finished reading The Firm by John Grisham, and it is a hundred times better than the film with Tom Cruise.

I just got an unofficial Muse book through the post. Yes, I'm sad, but it's a good read

Is it a biography of them?

I read Catch Me If You Can (story of Frank Abegnale Jr) after seeing the film. It's a little different from the film, more to it as you might expect. It wasn't bad, some of the stunts the guy pulled were quite funny.

[Riceman 4K]

Just got Battle Royale and read Dance Dance Dance by Haruki Murakami. It has one of my favorite quotes of all time. The main character is wondering if he should have sex with a drunk girl or not...

"It be like placing bets with marked cards. Not fair. But then again, how much jurisdiction does fairness have over sex? If fairness is what you wanted, your sex life would be as exciting as algae growing in a fish tank."

Anyways, it's a damn good book. Everyone should read it.

[Darloboy]

The last book I bought is a biography about Dave Grohl.

[Corizzle]

I love Dance Dance Dance...It's one of my favourite Murakami's...Though it follows on from another of his books "A Wild Sheep Chase".

Another of his best is "Hard-boiled wonderland and the end of the world" which is just beautiful.

[Guest Angry Baboon]

Just bought "Birdsong"...Read the first few chapters, great war book.

PS: CSAMH, try "Cloud of Sparrows" by Takashi Matsou, you'd probably like it. Good book.

[Lord Nibbler]

A Brief History of Time, by Stephen Hawking.

Turns out, it ain't that brief

[Sabu]

Huckleberry Finn, I had to Read it for School.

[Commander Sheepard]

Let's see, recently I've re-read Dante's "The Inferno" (not really a book, but it's presented in book form); re-read "The History of Middle Earth volumes 1-5"; and read "Dave Barry Hits Below the Beltway."

Wide selection, no?
