What Books Have You Recently Purchased? - Page 6

Royale · 05-06-2008, 12:44 PM

I recently bought an used book called CAESAR which was written by Christian Meier. It is a bio of Julius Caesar, one of the greatest Roman Emperor and military leaders in our history. He is one of my favorite historical figures.

Oh man tell that to me about books...I hadnt bought any books for a year since gawd knows when. I think I bought one of Harry Turtledove's "World War" science fiction/alternate history books and I hadnt even gotten to read it!

I got too many books stashed everywhere in my house and I havent read any of them for like what 5 or 6 months?!

Memories of My Melancholy Whores by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

steph9700 · 05-09-2008, 11:19 PM

"Christ The Lord: The Road To Cana" by Anne Rice. It is the second book in her new series on Jesus and his life written by her like he was reciting it and seeing it through his eyes through all his life. it isn't a true story or anything, just a story by her of the life of Jesus from what she has studied and stuff. I don't usually read anything to do with religion but I have read all, and own all, published works by her so I bought the first one and now have bought this one and it being Anne it happens to be interesting. She is the one who wrote "Interview With The Vampire" and "Queen Of The Damned".

I love Anne Rice, and also own all of her stuff, with the exception of this new series. I even own her erotica.

Do you agree that Cell is the worse novel ever!? You know which of his novel (from way back) I recall most? It's an unheralded one. This one:

I read Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King. I loved it! I think it is very different from his other books, which he admits to doing because he wanted to write a story for his daughter.

AquaBlue · 06-03-2008, 10:31 PM

I like that novel much as well Crystal_of_ASL. It's a fun read.
