The 2008 Books Read Thread!

For me, The Last of the Renshai trilogy. These are The Last of the Renshai, The Western Wizard, and Child of Thunder, all of which I have read or am working on (Child of Thunder, obviously). However, I would recommend the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan, who just passed away last year. (/starts sobbing relentlessly)

I just finished Machiavelli's "Il Principe". I very much enjoyed it. I plan on reading Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" next, to keep up with the theme I currently have going. I may read some Heodotus next, who knows.

I'm currently reading the novelization of The Texas Chainsaw Massace. Film wise, it's the newest remake. I thought the movie was pretty good, and the book is really detailed.
Novealized by Stephen Hand. He brings a lot of new and interesting angles to the story. Really enjoying it.

After this, I'll be reading through The Book of Loss by Julith Jedamus. I haven't completely grasped the concept yet since I haven't started it, but I'll post more about it later, probably.
