Re: What was the last book you read?

Just finished Fool's Fate by Robin Hobb.Read it Friday until 5 am Saturday morning.Finally a happy ending for the hero.

Before that I finished Pandora's Star by Peter F Hamilton.

I am now reading a book on David Bowie,another on J.M.WTurner and one on The Pre-Raphaelites whilst dipping into another book on Pablo Picasso.

I'm getting all cultured up here.

Incog.

Reading LOTR's at the moment (nearly done), too much bloody singing.

Preferred the film's (Awaits backlash).

Re: What was the last book you read?

Having greatly enjoyed Perdido Street Station by China MiÃÃâ€*’©ville, I am currently nearly at the end of The Scar. Unfortunately, like many sequels, it doesn't quite live up to the original. After this, for light relief, I've got a history of the Hundred Years War by someone whose name eludes me at the moment.

Just the three books? OR have you read the Hobbit too? - The Silmarillion?

I preferred the books - but each to their own
