The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Not sure it deserves all the praise it got... but it deserves most of it.

Friends Like These by Danny Wallace.
I read about it in the Daily Mail last month.
"I work in one of those humble call centres... Apparently, what we're doing at the moment is 'sprinkling our magic along the way'. It's a call centre, not Hogwarts." ~ Caroline Garlick, Ayrshire, BBC News Magazine
He certainly isn't like any author I've ever read before. I've only read Lullaby and Diary and half of Choke and Survivor. I currently own Fight Club, Choke, and Diary. I eventually want all his books, besides maybe the stranger than fiction one.Originally Posted by Coma
Palahniuk is genius.
edit: also, your name reminds me of "The Coma" by alex garland, who also wrote The Beach. Amazing books, imho. Worth checking out. I've also read The Tesseract but I'm not sure how I feel about that.
Got the last few Dark Tower books i need =D
I still have tons of books to read, buying a new one would be foolish right now. But it was American Gods by Neil Gaiman. Actually, I didn't buy it, my ex did. So Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.
You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!
One of my friends just got that a week and a half ago. He was looking to buy Dante's Divine Comedy online, and then saw that he could get it together with Paradise Lost for a discount =)
As for me, my last purchase was Breaking Dawn yesterday. I was going to go to a release party with one of my friends, but my brother kidnapped me and made me miss it. Got it at Wal*Mart yesterday afternoon. My friend saved me an extra sheet of stickers and a button from the party, though

Haunted is my favourite Palahniuk book, followed by Choke. But tbh Invisible Monsters slightly bored me and I didn't get it.He certainly isn't like any author I've ever read before.

Ugh, don't remind me. I usually try to stay away from branding things as disturbing, but this story, ugh. Just ugh.
Those were good books.
The last book I bought, coincidentally I just finished it, was A Companion to Wolves by Sarah Monette and Elizabeth Bear. Short (roughly 300 pages) but good. My friend recommended it to me.
Because I read many many books I rarely buy individual books these days, I am forever buying more than 1 or omnibus editions of series such as the Gaunts Ghosts omnibus books. Even when buying big collective works such as the Omnibus books I'll buy more than 1 book though because seriously one of those big books lasts me about a week or so :\
The latest 2 books I brought were:
The Ashes of Worlds, Kevin J Anderson's finale to the epic saga of the seven suns.
I also brought:
Don't Stop Me Now, Jeremy Clarkson because frankly the man is almost a God and should be made PM of the UK
Oddly enough....I can't believe how many people here don't enjoy reading...! I love it, I always do before I go to sleep. It helps relax meThe latest one I bought was a week or so ago, Ender's Game. It's delicious...
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

THE JACKEL

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.Oddly enough....I can't believe how many people here don't enjoy reading...! I love it, I always do before I go to sleep. It helps relax me
