So, what book did you last read (re-reading also counts)? Was it any good? If so, share with the rest of us!
The last book I read was called Elantris, by Brandon Sanderson; it's a standalone fantasy, and his first published novel. I thought it was excellent, and very original (it kept me guessing most of the time). It dragged in a few places, but overall a very good read, and more people should read it! -------------------- |

I can't remember what, precisely, I just finished, so I'll give the last five, in no particular order, because I read them all around the same time:
Singularity's Ring by Paul Melko, which is a really nifty sci-fi about a particular group of people known as a pod, who operate and are considered to be one person, which is highly normal in their society, while singletons are the technical outcasts My umpteen-millionth rereading of the Harper Hall books Dragonsong and Dragonsinger, by Anne McCaffrey. I'm actually about to start on the third (also for the umpteen-millionth time). I really need to get new copies of these, or maybe the old hardcover omnibus, just to have it look pretty on my bookshelf, 'cause these poor books are almost literally falling apart, I've read them so much. Ranger's Apprentice: The Siege of Macindaw, by John Flanagan. I don't care what people say, I may be in my twenties, but a well-written book is always good, even if it's directed for a much younger audience. Besides, most of my favorite series' have female main characters. It's nice to have one that's male. Shade's Children, by Garth Nix. Another sci-fi, this one post-apocalyptic. It was kind of disturbing in some ways, and very graphic, but I love his writing style. I swear, he could write a textbook about how to draw right angles and I think I'd be enthralled. And last, but not least, Michelle Sagara's Cast in Silence. And I hate that I have to wait another year before the next installment of that series. It's fantastic, and I think the main character is so wonderfully three-dimensional that she could walk out of the book and pass as a normal human being ... because that's exactly what she is, and it's great. -------------------- |
