The last book I read was Richard Hammond's book about his crash, which was partly written by his wife. It's incredibly sad, especially when heis wife hears about the crash. It shows how strong they are as a family, and their children were so brave, especially his elder daughter who knew she had to stay strong for her little sister. It was a good read, despite the not so nice subject matter.

The concept of ultimate evil is very old, I suppose. I am pleased to see a book tackle this subject. If I might add my own two cents, I believe the concept of the actual being Satan, as described in the Bible, is somewhat the product of Christianity's efforts to absorb the Pagan culture of the time. We know that various deities of nature were worshipped and depicted as having horns(cave paintings in France seem to support this), so it is no surprise that the Christian devil is depicted as having horns. He also is depicted as carrying a pitchfork, which may have been inspired by Poseidon's Trident. A little off topic, but here is the answer to your question. One of the more recent books I finished was Six Secrets Of Successful Bettors. The Spokesman

The last book that I read was Bourne Supremacy a month ago. Since then I've been reading text books cos exams are approaching. I started with HP Deathly Hallows, but then later gave it up cos I had to get back to studies and its lying there on my bed, staring at me everytime I pass by it. I think I'll pick it up and finish it. bourne
