Reading?!

Since the 'what were the last 5 albums you bought' thread was doing well, i ask you,

"What Were the last five books you bought/read?"

(i'll include trade comics and manga. because.)
----------------------------------------------------------
Me:
Sarah Vowell- "Assassination Vacation" (still working on it)
Bruce Campbell - "If Chins could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor"
Frank McCort- "Angela's Ashes"
JK Rowling- the new harry potter book
Robert Kirkman/Tony Moore -"The Walking Dead: Days Gone Bye" (Comic book)

(and if you haven't read Sarah Vowell, you should. Same goes for Campbell's autobio. It's actually really intresting, he's a much better writer than you might think. Capivating, even.)

littlem: You're an obsessive compulsive Stephen King reader, too, aren't you? I KNOW IT! (I can't re-read Cujo, though, because it had me weeping openly in an airplane.)

tesko on Aug 03 '05 at 10:29am

Shit, we do have something in comon after all l_h_f. My fav is Misery, just read From a Buick 5 and am constantly re-reading On Writing.

little_hobbit_feet on Aug 03 '05 at 10:33am

From A Buic 8 was pretty messed up. Did you read Everything's Eventual? Very Vonnegutt in its variation. The first story - Autopsy Room 4 (or something like that) - had me power-reading on a bus ride home. It's very tense.
There's another that I think is called All You Love Will Be Taken Away and it's very touching.
I could read The Stand continuously.

rinzii on Aug 03 '05 at 3:24pm

yeah angela's ashes was depressing, not as depressing as Barabra Kingsolvers' 'The posionwood bible'
that is a book that i thought would cause mass suicide, because i'd read it, and sobbed for days, then Orpah used it as a book of the month.
so suprised that millions of housewives didn't die....

themidtownkoala on Aug 03 '05 at 3:27pm

Oh man, the Poisonwood Bible. I wasn't super happy with evangelical Christians as it was...

tesko on Aug 03 '05 at 3:28pm

Intelligent Threadless heads will apreciate anything by Bret Easton Ellis

raisedbyducks on Aug 03 '05 at 6:12pm

gerpander on Aug 03 '05 at 6:13pm

Manga is the pot noodle of literature.
