What Have You Recently Finished Reading?

The Secret History is INCREDIBLE so far.

[Michelle, Too many books, too little time!]

I recently finished reading Stephen King's Revival while in hospital and I have to admit that even though I usually think this guy can do no wrong I wasn't a huge fan of this one to be honest.
The ending kind of confused me and I felt the way it was written was a bit messy compared to his other books.
Oh well, he can't win them all I guess!

I just read A Memory of Violets as well as Parramatta Girls and Look Who's Back; which was about about Hitler waking up in modern Berlin. Pretty ordinary.

I recently read, 30 Years of Being Married to a Rolling Stone. I really enjoyed it.

I just finished The Secret History by Donna Tartt. If you liked/loved The Goldfinch you won't be able to put this book down. Tartt's writing is beautiful. I think she is my favorite writer. Ever. She is incredibly talented.

The only thing that makes me sad is that I finished the book. I'm not sure if I'll pick up another for a while, I just need to let this one marinate in my mind for a while.

**sigh** what an excellent book.

I just finished The Lure by Bill Napier. I didn't think I''d like it, as I picked it on a whim but wow, it hooked me!! Very fun read, especially if you like astronomy and the possibility of life living on other planets.

I love it when you find a book like that and it just hooks you in!

I just finished The Farm last night and boy that was a bad, bad book in my humble opinion. The writing was shocking and I'm not sure if I hated it as much as I did because I've been reading it during newborn feeding time around 1:30 to 3:30am each morning or whether it really was just a badly written book!

I've heard lots of good things about that book Sharyl. I think I really have to check it out one day.
