Dune was a brilliant book as was Memoirs of a Geisha.
I'm currently trying to find the rest of the Dune series....for those who dont like spending money on books, I suggest charity shops and second hand book shops. You can pick up some great bargins. I got my copy of Dune for £1.50 as opposed to £8.00.
Last book I've finished reading was 1984 by George Orwell, I would heartily recommend it if you have an interest (like I do) in totalitarian, opressive states...if not, its still a great moralistic tale.
That was a re-read though, I think i've read that three times now...so the last book I read that I've never read before would have to be Dante's Inferno.
That is a great piece of classic poetry, so vivid and inspirational. I advise everyone to check it out. I read the translated version by Tom Phillips...it wasn't as verbiose as i had been expecting. Great anyway...I give that 9 out of 10. I thouroughly enjoyed it.
