    The Twelve Kingdoms, Volume 2: Sea of Wind by Fuyumi Ono back in March.

    Wish they would release more than one volume per year.

    I bought a copy of The Satanic Bible by Anton LaVey a few weeks ago to scare someone into not coming to my house anymore. Many lulz were had.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    Oddly enough....
    The last book I purchased was "Shadow of the Giant" which is the 8th book from the Ender Universe...

    Ender's Game
    Speaker for the Dead
    Xenocide
    Children of the Mind
    Ender's Shadow
    Shadow of the Hedgemon
    Shadow Puppets
    Shadow of the Giant

    completed my collection and now I must read it

    The only worthwhile books from that series are Ender's Game and the first one about Bean. The rest were boring and I didn't like them.
    the other books were more mature, even Ender's Shadow you could tell was written in a more mature way than Ender's Game. I've enjoyed every one of the books, they cover some interesting things.

    Ender's Game is by Orson Scott Card... not Steven King.

    I suppose the topics addressed were boring. I found the first two books to be full of fun tiems and I read them in a day usually. But then I picked up the second one of the ender series and I couldn't read it. It was just so long and drawn out

    Your right, I was thinking of Gerald's Game.

    I'm not much of a reader, I think the last books I bought were 1984 and Paradise Lost. 1984 was amazing and I have yet to read past Paradise Lost's first chapter before I stop and start again later.

    Of man's first disobedience, and the fruit...God I'm almost memorizing the first part.

    Good choice. If you like it, you should also read Collapse.

    I also recently purchased this. I haven't gotten a chance to open it yet, it's about 4th on my current to-read list.

    Two nights ago, I bought Hero by Perry Moore. It was good. Pretty short though. :/ Not the best of endings.
