What is the last book did you buy?...

Silas Marner is one of my favorite books and I cry every time I read it, but did you know that George Eliot's real name was Mary Ann Evans and when she published the same story with a male pen name the critics said it was wonderful, but when she published it with her own name they said it was awful, so from then on she used the pseudonym. I have so many books and magazines, too, that I haven't read, it is a pity. Today I did read three articles from the latest Smithsonian magazine. I cannot even remember the last book, and I am a book lover above all else. As I said, pitiful! I prefer not to spend a lot of money on books unless they have wonderful pictures, like art books, for instance.

I last book that I bought is A Secret Splendor of author Sandra Brow.

I like to borrow from friends and buy my own books. I like to get them second hand sometimes too, as long as they are in good condition. One of the last books that I bought for myself was the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. It's about the German occupation of Guernsey during WW2. The whole book is letters written to people about the occupation and other things. It was a fast read and was really good.

The last book I brought was the Twilight Series by Stephanie Meyer for my grown daughter's birthday gift. She loved the books. I'm reading MJFox's book "Always looking up". So far so good.

I rarely buy books, I mainly borrow it from library, if I buy a book, I may not read it as soon as possible, because I will think: ok, no hurry, it's my book, I can read it any time. But if I borrow it from library, I will push me to read it. Of course there are many books worth buying and being kept well in our life, I will buy these books even though I've read it.

New Moon from the Twilight saga. Am re-reading it before the film comes out in november. I also borrow books from the library. As my son is on the Autistic Disorder Spectrum, I have borrowed everything that I can find on Autistic disorders, so that I can learn as much as possible about it. I also like to get books from charity shops and me and my sisters swap books alot too. A good idea is to set up a book exchange with people you know, maybe at school or work.

The last book I bought and am currently reading is 25 Ways to Win with People: How to Make Others Feel Like a Million Bucks, by John C. Maxwell. I really want to be more encouraging.

i seldom buy new books or even books from the thrift store, i tend to go the library a lot or get books given to me for free. right now i am reading the biography of billy graham and hunt for red oktober.

morning aseretdd, I never by my books. I get them fro free becouse my uncle is a seller of books in a big company that gives out books for sale. I only call him up when I need one or two and he send me them home...I guess you do understand, I have lots of books in my shelf...

The last book I bought was from a book sale: "Cool Careers for Dummies" ;) and "Questions Teens Find It Hard To Answer and Answers that Work"

Hello aseretdd........what a coincidence I too had Goerge Eliot' Silas Marner,as part of my curriculam in High school.....Well I was a voracious reader in school and college,though lately I dont do much reading....And I usually borrow books from the library and love to re read books that I had read many years ago.......I hardly buy any books since they are very costly and my children ironically do not share my love for books........

The Dissappearing Act of Esme Lewis

The last book I bought was Jo's boys by Louisa May Alcott, I haven't read it though, because after buying the book, I suddenly realized, I don't have the 2nd part of the little women series, which is little men ( dumb right?!) cause Jo's boys is the 3rd installment. So now the book is just sitting in my bookshelf, I don't want to read it until I have read little men, and I can't seem to find a copy in any of the bookstores here in makati ( lucky me. )...

Twilight lol got it yesterday I'm already in the middle of the book ... Ok I'm soooo into it *-*

I actually buy my own books (sadly enough there are no public libraries here, just school libraries) But most often than not I buy books at second hand bookstores since you can still buy the books at a cheap price and in good condition--the latest books I've bought were "Drowning Ruth" and "Eleven on Top". The former book is an Oprah book club selection and is quite interesting and the latter is a book by Janet Evanovich , a really fun series about a female bounty hunter--the Stephanie Plum series--I've enjoyed all her books so far since it's not too serious (if compared with other crime/mystery thrillers)...the good thing I guess about buying your own books s tat you can read them any time you want, that is if the books are a great read in the first place! If it's a bummer of a book, well, tough luck ;) jot it up to experience I guess...

Actually the last book that I purchased was for my daughter...it was the classic Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. Before that I picked up a novel by Janet Evanovich which by the way was hillarious. Other than that I have been doing almost the same things that you are doing reading what I have at home already. About 5 years back I went on this book buying frenzy, the Dollar Tree was stocking there shelves with an amazing collections of novels and I shopped weekly...I wanted to create a personal library of hard covered books. At the time I wasn't doing much reading, but just recently I decided it was time to dig into my collection and I have been reading some of those books...8o)

Hello aseretdd, Are you telling me you can get a new book at maybe $2? That's very cheap. The new paperback here is more than $10 and if you talk about hard cover, it costs more than $20. Anyway, I like to have my own collection and a few years back, I found a shop which sells a good second hand book which is half of the price. Unfortunately, I seldom read books nowadays. Those books that I read few years back, I can't even remember the content. For example, I read Dan Brown's Angels and Demons but if you ask me right now, what the story is all about - well, I can't recall a thing! I don't read the same book twice too as I get less patience when I already knew the whole plot *laughs* The best for me is still James Patterson's 'The Jester'. Talking about books, my ex school mate promised to send me his hard cover John Grisham's latest book but till now, I yet to receive it!

last book i bought was from Bob Ong. he's a local writer that makes people laugh page by page. he wrote all his books using our native language. i just like all his books, i bought two but read all..

The last set of books I bought was the Twilight series. I really loved it and I can't help but keep on reading it over and over again. I just love it so much..

the last book that i buy is novel aib writer by JM cotzee. that novel is really good. the story is about murderer by teacher to his student. it's very interesting i think because the story not cimplicated and easy to reading. honestly, i am not reading twilight yet. but my friend tell me it's really good inside of the film.
