    Dang I don't read at all, but I think the last one I was supposed to read was a Tale of Two Cities, but I only read like 5 pages. But I read the spark notes, so I can tell you what happened and all :) they said you would fail if you didn't read meh I got a 85 on the test :p

    Chalk another one up for Harry Potter. I always go back and read the book that pertains to the newest movie before I hit the theater. I'm not sure why I do this though it always leaves me disappointed in the movie.:)

    The last book I read was "The Dark Half" by Stephen King. It was the first time I read any of his works, but that book got me hooked.

    I just read Wild fire by Nelson Demille. I started reading it because the setting was based in the area where I live but it turned out to be a very good book. It is another conspiracy type book about the inner circle of the United States government. It gets you thinking and wondering of these kind of things are really happening.

    I started this book but I really could not get into. It seemed so different than his other story lines that I guess it was not what I expected. His new book was suppose to be out last month but I am not sure when it is now being released.

    We had to read a tale of two cities, and act it out once. I was in the wedding :)
    Really, really boring book though.

    last book I read was Harry Potter.

    I just finished Orbit by John J. Nance. It was excellent. I could not put it down.

    A contest winner wins his dream trip into Earth orbit but the excitement is cut short by a small piece of a meteorite that kills the pilot and disables the spacecraft. He decides to type a farewell message into a laptop onboard and in the process discovers what his life means as his time is slowly running out and he is forced to face the end of his life.

    It out in paperback and if you like aviation, he has a lot of good stuff.

    Just finished reading the entire Dark Tower series by Stephen King. Amazing story, quite long winded but one of the best works he ever did!

    Well yea, I did read the latest Harry Potter book. But then I went to the library and got a load of books. :) Right now I am reading 'The Khufra Run' by Jack Higgins. And I think, before that I was reading 'Polar Shift' by Clive Cussler .. or was it another Jack Higgins book .. ? Oh well .. I seem to lose track of things sometimes.

    I think the last book I read when I was in 10th or 11th grade.
    Don't even remember what it is. I hate reading book, I find it the biggest waste of time. Why don't you just go and get the movie. :)

    Last book I read was Fuck Logic, a swedish book about advertisement. Before that I read The Ultimate Guide To Great Copywriting by Andy Maslen. Both books were excellent, the latter really recommended to internet entrepreneurs. More enlightening than you may think and not to long.

    Before those two, I read iCon, about Steve Jobs. Best book I've ever read, very much recommended to anyone. (Preferably buy it at my Apple fan store :D )
