What's the Last Book You Read?

from WinCustomize Forums

We talk about movies and TV, so why not have a discussion about the books we read!  Let us know what's the last book you read, and feel free to recommend it or expand on what it's about.

I mostly read through my Kindle and get most of my eBooks through Amazon.

The book I recently finished was Inside the Real Area 51: The Secret History of Wright Patterson.

I remember reading a book I think, but I cannot remember the title as it was back in the 1970's.  :S

Yes, the fire department has saved us.  It has gotten rid of all those antiquated artifacts from a darker time.  Protocol F451 has been a bright and shining success.  :)  :)

Recently finished The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, and am reading the second one called The Wise Man's Fear.  Trouble is, the third one isn't out yet, and I'm going to get all sorts of agitated waiting... ugh, I hate waiting...

A Memory of Light, the last book in the Wheel of Time series. It did a fine job with tying up all the major plotlines, I think. I only wish that it had been more imaginative - there really were no surprises to speak of except what the crystal sword was really for. Also, it treated much of the story like the ending was a foregone conclusion, and I didn't particularly like that. Too many busy plotting what would happen after the "big end". That in itself created a lot of threads of story that we will now never know more about. It could have much benefited from an "anthology" of the years after the book.
