    Hmm well I have been reading quite a bit lately.

    Anyway, the last book (Or books I should say.) That I bought were "Only the Ring Finger Knows: 1 and 2 Lonley Ring Finger and Left Hand Dreams of Him." They are a form of Yaoi books, and I really enjoyed them. I can't wait to get the last 2.

    The Bonehunters by Steven Erikson - Malazan #6
    Reaper's Gale, also by Steven Erikson - Malazan #7

    Hardcovers. Yeah, it's a good series.

    Those I purchased in preparation for...

    Toll the Hounds, Book #8, which I pre-ordered the day it became available. The cover art is fantastic.

    And yes, I probably will go back and buy hardcover editions of all the paperbacks. If I can find them.

    I swear I have an addiction, I just bought two more books this afternoon. >.>;

    The Eyes of the Dragon - Stephen King - I really hope everyone here knows who he is. Anyways, while it's not the first of his stuff that I've read, it is the first that I've bought myself.

    The Tower of Shadows - Drew Bowling - Never heard of him before, liked the cover art and the back blurb. It's a debut novel and the author is a college student who started writing it in high school. Sounds familiar. =P Paolini might not have the best writing in the world, but it seems he's opening the doors for more younger writers. Better ones, hopefully.

    Breaking Dawn as of 2 AM the day it came out, and yes, it was totally worth it.

    P.S. Don't really know how to expand, aside from talking about it, but then we would have spoilers and I don't really want that, sorry for the short post ^^.

    The last books I have gotten are Betrayal, The Fall of Reach, and Twilight.

    Betrayal is the first book of the Legacy of the Force Star Wars books. I have only read about half of it before I stopped reading. I forgot where I was so I'm gonna restart.><

    The Fall of Reach is the first Halo book I think. And I think you all know what Twilight is. I have always wanted to read it but have never got a chance to get it.

    The last book I bought was Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer. It's been a long time since I have been able to get into a vampire story. Ann Rice killed me on that until now. I just finished New Moon this morning. Also I'm not sure it counts but I bought the Devil May Cry novel.

    Did it again. -_- And I wonder why I have no monies...

    Dragon Outcast by E. E. Knight - Book 3 of the Age of Fire

    I'm really looking forward to reading this, as it covers the story of the crippled Copper. He's been something of an enigma in the last two books. I'm sure his story will be quite interesting.

    Deepwood: Karavans #2 by Jennifer Roberson

    No, I don't have the first one. The cover and the back blurb got me. I suppose now I have to go buy the previous book so I can read the one I just bought. Gah! I'm not helping myself any. XD

    I do not buy books too often, because there are a million libraries around. But I did buy The Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama two months ago or so.

    I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    The last two I picked up were Stephenie Meyer's "Breaking Dawn" and Margaret Mitchell's "Gone With the Wind".

    The first was.. a bit of a disappointment, to be honest. It just seemed like she tried to cram too much in, but in a really wishy-washy half-baked way. It was VERY anticlimactic. Honestly, I think her books got worse as they went on.

    Gone With the Wind I've not read much of yet, but I love it to death already.

    I last bought two books off of Half.com...

    Twilight - I heard all the hype, and wasn't going to acknowledge it's existance... but then my friend Rachel made me buy it... I read it all in two days. I was hooked.

    Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - I had the complete series, but one of my ****tard friends ran off with my sixth book. So... I bought another one. My bookshelf didn't look right without it.


    Also... I'm not sure if it counts, because I technically didn't buy it, but someone bought me Marilyn Manson's biography. I'm addicted to that right now, but I think after I finish this, I'm gonna go get New Moon...

    I bought Stephen King as Richard Bachman's Thinner. It was a pretty creepy book, but it was too damn short. I got used to reading King's big novels, like The Dark Tower. That book was ****ing huge.

    The Dirt... Mötley Crüe's autobiography. I got it really cheap when I was in America. It's really good. It's filled with such debauchery, that by the end of it, you're surprised that any of them are alive right now, really. It has some really interesting tales though, and some sad ones (ie: the few chapters dedicated to Vince's daughter, Skylar, dying at age four, of cancer). It's a must-read for any fan of theirs.
