What's The Last Book You've Read?


Recommended Posts

I haven't finished Animals in Translation yet (not that I'm planning to actually finish it in this lifetime), but I'm now on "What Do You Care What Other People Think?": Further Adventures of a Curious Character by my lolo Richard P. Feynman. It's science books/books by scientists these days for me as I can't concentrate enough to follow any plotlines...

I haven't finished the Feynman book yet but I have finished a fiction book the other day--After Dark by Haruki Murakami. I heart Murakami's short stories over his novels, but I already have read all three of his short-story volumes... After Dark is just 244 pages long, so I read it. Not bad. There's not much weirdness in it. Quite interesting dialogues between this girl (whose name is almost similar to mine) and this guy (who, in my wish-fulfillment imagination of the novel, would look and dress like a younger Joe Odagiri). But, still, these characters are not sad enough to make me read the novel over and over again while melting into the sofa.

 

I'm now on The Amnesiac by Sam Taylor.

How to Make Love Like a Porn Star by Jenna Jameson & Neil Strauss

 

Autobiography of the adult-film legend...love those "ten commandments" anecdotes on porn-star etiquette and comic-book interludes on the hazards of stripping et al...never knew pole-dancing was as dangerous as working on a construction site!!

John: A Novel

by Niall Williams

 

A novel about the last days of John the Apostle.

Blind, old and banished on Patmos and surrounded by his own disciples

awaiting Christ's return (which they doubt and kept annoying John).

 

It's a very interesting read.

 

And yes I'm an atheist. hehe
