Dark fcuking book. I think it's the only one she ever wrote.

Last book I bought was "A prayer for Owen Meaney" as a present for a friend. I stole a biography of Michael Collins from my cousin recently which I am now reading.

DUNE

CONTROLLIN' THE SPICE BITCHES (and by that I don't mean 90s pop 'sensation' the spice girls, who frankly, would not do well on Arrakis)

Criminal Behaviour A Psychology Approach by Bartol & Bartol. Books can be so expensive but this wasn't too bad at 60e. I have a 20e book token on my desk [a gift from my team whilst I was off sick a while back] which I should use up, but I know whatever I decide on will cost more than the token.

I love that book - so fupping sad...

Metallitroll · 08-03-2011 02:14AM

i respect you readers. was a top speed-reader in school, could read War & Peace during a single lunchbreak. but the day tuohy held my hand up to the principal's office changed all that :mad:

One of Andrew Vachss'. I buy little else right now.

Mainly his 'Burke' novels, so far. But, suffice to say, I own a dozen of those. And a few others of his books. Here comes a link to his site. But, go straight through to Writings then Free Excerpts and Short Stories. See if ye like the style.

However, much of the rest of the site shows ye what this guy's about. What drives him and his writing.

This guy is a modern day Hero. Linky.

A cretins guide to farmville, quite a good read.

Dangerous Man · 08-03-2011 03:23AM

The last book I bought was 'Post Office' for a friend, who's a postman. I thought he might enjoy a different (if somewhat exaggerated) account of the profession, so to speak.

The last book I read was a book called 'Ray' which I didn't buy - I found it in the street (with a few books by Saul Bellow too - result.) I can't remember who wrote the book, although it was fairly critically acclaimed; it was extremely reminiscient of Burrows but I found it fairly tough to read. I didn't enjoy that.

Local-womanizer · 08-03-2011 03:32AM

"Legionnaire" by Simon Murray.

I diary of 5 years in the French Foreign Legion during the 1960s. Crazy stuff.

Spunge · 08-03-2011 06:19AM

Last one i bought that i actually finished reading was Hyperion. Awesome book was awesome.

08-03-2011 06:38AM

Bought The Godfather an hour ago... Didn't want to but 3 flights in the next 24 hours and it was the only thing I could find. Was in the mood for some Alexander Dumas but not a chance of findin it.

Last book I bought and read was zen and the art of motorcycle maintainance.. Think I need to give it another go because all I got from it was that I'm a classical thinker. That Quality thing went over my head a bit.

Dan Simmons?

SHRIKE all up in this MOTHERF*CKER!!!

Last one I bought was Woken Furies by Richard K. Morgan, had to read all the Takeshi Kovacs novles I could find!
Also Lee Child productiveness concerning Jack Reacher has effected my personal finances badly.

Azureus · 08-03-2011 08:17AM

+1 on the Lee Child. Ridiculously addictive easy reads.

Last book before the latest installments of them (one shot and the enemy) was The Lucifer Effect by Philip Zimbardo.

Cú Giobach · 08-03-2011 09:01AM

The Balkans (Nationalism, War, and the Great Powers, 1804-1999).
