Recently I have read some classics - "Vanity Fair" Thackeray. I have been re-reading it. I think my mark is 3 out of 5. Not much, but there are things there that I really like.

A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess. Really interesting and you get used to to the language used easily if you've seen the film.

the most recent fiction book i read was the darkest part of the woods, which i think would be around 3 out of 5 stars...superbly written, but kind of...off. just kind of a let down in some places, but worth the read.

The last book i've read was Stieg Larsson's The girl who kicked the hornets nest. I give it four out of five stars. The book was really good and never for a second predictable. A few passages was a little overwritten and unnecessary though. Apart from this last thing i absolutley loved it.

I just finished Cincinnatus: The Secret Plot to Save America. It's a pretty strange book--all about fixing PGA Tournaments and it connects a secretive society of descendents of the Continental Army to a horrible plot to the paranormal --Coral Castle.

I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars. It is well worht the time and energ. Great read.

The last fiction novel I read was Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger... I'd give it a 3.8/5 as it was somewhat slow to lift off and there was a (great) twist toward the end, but it seemed the book should have headed in another direction for the end, for it was unfulfilling.

Honestly, the last book I read was was Aunt Eater Loves A Mystery. I read this to my child last night. I kept reading it even after she fell asleep I love a good mystery :lol:
The last grown-up book I read was His Excellency George Washington and it was truly excellent. A must read for all Americans and lovers of history. No secrets are left out or stone unturned in this book.

I just finished "The Face on the Milk Carton" by Caroline B. Cooney. It had been sitting on my shelf for half a dozen years, so I finally decided to read it. It was a really great young adult novel and I'm looking forward to reading the other books in the series.

Yesterday, I started, and finished "Sarah's Key" by Tatiana de Rosnay.

I would give it 10 stars out of 5. This was a fantastic read...I could not put it down.

Highly recommend!

I just finished reading Under the Dome by Stephen King and I must say that I enjoyed it very much. It was a fun read, a bit sad and sometimes graphic at times. It was what one expects from a Stephen King book. If you don't like SK you won't like this book, but if you do like his style it is great.

I just finished Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky. I give it a 3 out of 5 star rating. While some parts were thought-provoking, much of the actual writing was dry and the story tended to drag. This could be the fault of the translator, though.
