What books have you read recently?

Percy Jackson series.

Good, clean humor.
Very entertaining.
Ties very well with Greek mythology.

I hate to admit this but... breaking dawn.. worst book ever.. or rather ending to a book.

Recently, I finished reading 'Diary of Anne Frank' by Anne Frank. Diary of a young girl is the English version of the book, based on the writings of a diary that was written by Anne Frank while she was in hiding for two years with his family during the Nazi occupation of Holland . The book is now considered one of the main texts of the twentieth century.

I recently picked up my old copy of "Dune" and started reading that again. I am an addict of the Frank Herbert books. Dune fanatic.

Heheh, I started reading Ender's Game again last night...and ended up not getting to sleep until 5:30... :whistler:

Wow, that good?

I have also tried reading Mein Kampf several times I just can't commit to it, people are very judgmental when they see you carrying that book around. There are several people in history that could have ended up on the complete other end of the spectrum that they did, understanding them is half the problem.

Yup. That night I read almost half the book in one sitting. :P It really is a great work of science fiction. Plus, it resonates with me personally for several reasons....but I won't spoil the story for you by going into those. ;)

IMO there's no such thing as bad knowledge. As someone somewhere once said, if we do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it. If we don't learn how monsters came to be, how do we expect to stop the same thing from happening in the future.

I have personally tried to read it too, for the same reason, but certainly would never openly carry it around!
