A Clockwork Orange. Horrorshow, it was.

I've never read that book, but I've seen the movie. Its messed, but hilarious.
Last book I read was Impulse by Ellen Hopkins. Before that was The Host by Stephenie Meyer. Both were really good. I think The Host is a lot better than The Twilight Saga. Also, they are making it into a movie by the end of the year.

Read in the last month:

Prometheus Rising - Robert Anton Wilson
(read the pdf version on my ipad, ~280pages in 1 day)

A field guide to earthlings - Ian Ford
(read the kindle version on my ipad over a couple of days,
now purchased the paperback version as well)

600 Hours of Edward - Craig Lancaster
(read the kindle version on my ipad, took about a week)

I've just started bought and started Asimov's 'Forward The Foundation' but I probably won't get very far with it. Oh well, I have the rest of the same editions of the foundation 'trilogy' on my shelf which I read back in 2001, so this one will go nicely with them.

I wish I could read faster, I have about 200 books I've bought and not yet read, but I never seem to get very far with them. I'll get a couple of chapters in on one day, then have to stop to eat / sleep / go to work. Then I'll carry it around with me for a couple of weeks thinking I'll pick it back up again, but it doesn't happen.
By the time I get to reading again it's another book which suddenly seems to be much more important, and I'll get through the first few chapters of that, then the cycle continues.

Ooooh. I love this thread

I just finished re-reading A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin, which I'll say right now is one of the best fantasy books written. Ever. And then there's Shiver, a paranormal romance by Maggie Stiefvater, which, surprisingly, I liked (it's very hard to get me to like a romance novel, but this one was a lot more dimensional than crap like Twilight). And a Spell for Chameleon by Piers Anthony, which ought to win an award for being one of the most sexist books of the century, but was entertaining nonetheless.

And now I'm in the middle of Poison Study by Maria Snyder, which started out promising but is shaping up to be pretty bleah. >_<
