The last book I've read was "Gingerbread" by Rachel Cohn. I'm not really into "teen novels" but I bought it because of the cover... (okayy, I judged a book by its cover!) it seems interesting and I love rag dolls ^_^
As for the story, oh... it got me hooked! Rachel Cohn is now one of my favorite authors and I'm planning to buy the sequel of Gingerbread, SHRIMP.

the last book i've read is"The World is Flat" which gains highly reputation,written by Thomas L Friedman.He is a world-renowned New York Times journalist.This book is mainly talks about the globalization.People who r interested in politics or economics should read it. the author divided the world into 3 phases.that is globalization 1.0 to 3.0,something like software.the role player in three phases is not a country or a company but individuals.But it talks many about dot.com.
i admire author's rich experience, broad knowledge,and his careful observation to the whole world.he can put different changes in different countries together and summarize and find out some rules making the world flat.i think it will help me l lot when i run a company in the future.outsource mentioned in this book really give me a deep impression.

It's nice to know that you read books even just by being attracted by the cover. I read the Holy Bible - the all-time best seller. I am a Christian, a child of God, baptized into Christ on October 1, 1989 and I belong to the Church of Christ founded and headed by Christ as shown in Acts Chapter 2. I am given the gift of knowledge and understanding Bible Greek and I translate the Word of God from Greek to English PLAINLY - Greek word into its English equivalent with additional
words for grammar purposes written in italics so that readers may delete them when they so desire.
I have already published GENESIS, EXODUS, LEVITICUS (Greek-English), THE WILL New Testament (Greek to English), ELEMENTS of SALVATION, The Right Way, GOD, ORIGIN, TRANSFER into PERFECTION, GREEK-ENGLISH (Grammar & Vocabulary), WORDS in THE WILL New Testament, and others shown at

I have seen the versions being circulated worldwide and they are generally admitted to be 80% NOT translations. My translations are 99.99% translations and I see the truth, beauty, and sweetness of the Word of God. I hope these books could also help people understand the Word of God and be saved.
I hope that you include some of these in your reading.

The last good book I read was this little collection of children's short stories called The Daydreamer. It's written by my favorite author Ian McEwan. As always, McEwan transports you to a new place--this time, he takes you inside the mind of a very imaginative boy.

I started reading Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy recently. It's good stuff. It's about the colonization of mars, and political battles between terraforming and leaving mars in its natural state.

The last book I read was 'The kings buccaneer' by Raymond E Feist. Another brilliant effort by an excellent author. If you like fantasy books with princes,mercanaries, magicians, dragons etc., then I highly reccommend this author, although I would say start with his first novel 'Magician'!
