What is the last book did you buy?...  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 98/100. aseretdd (6862)   ranked 6 out of 1,092 in books 3 years ago

Well, the Twilight Saga rekindled my love and interest for reading books... so i cannot get enough of reading... but i do not want to read any new material right now... but want to re read books that i enjoyed reading in the past...

So the last book that i bought and am currently reading is George Elliot's Silas Miner... i remember being forced by my English teacher in High School to read and after doing that... i was so glad she did... i love the story... and i learned so much... that is why when i saw it in the Bookstore... i did not think twice in getting my own copy... good thing it was quite cheap... just 100 php or a little below $2...

What are you reading right now?... Do you prefer to buy the book or just borrow from the library or friends?... What is the last book did you buy for yourself?...

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.

It is nice to have libraries that give away free books... best for those who cannot afford to buy their own... i wish that is the case in my country... but here... it is very seldom that something is given away fro free...

Thanks for the response...

It is an interesting story about a girl who discovers she has a great aunt she never knew about, an she is the only remaining family member of her. She learns all kinds of things about her grandmother and her great Aunt that she never knew. I got it for about 4 dollars in the bargain book section of Barnes and Nobles.

Is the book better then the movie? I love Vampire stories, but was not impressed with the movie at all.


myLot reputation of 98/100. aseretdd (6862)   ranked 6 out of 1,092 in books  3 years ago

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.


myLot reputation of 98/100. aseretdd (6862)   ranked 6 out of 1,092 in books  3 years ago

The Twilight Series is a great birthday gift for your daugther... i am so sure she will love it... and will for sure she will be hooked with a twilight fever... just like a lot of teenagers around the world... it won't be long before she starts dreaming about Edward...

myLot reputation of 98/100. aseretdd (6862)   ranked 6 out of 1,092 in books  3 years ago

You are so lucky to have an uncle who works for such company... you never need to buy any book... and can get the latest one anytime you want... i so envy you... and i can imagine your book shelf...

Thanks for the response...


myLot reputation of 97/100. anetteh (1547)   ranked 126 out of 1,092 in books  3 years ago

Every once a year all the books seller have what we call book trade. There my uncle are and when I can I go there and go to him and there I get the lates of the book of the year. Now, I just wish I had the time to read all of them. I actually spend more time online these days and my little hobby of reading are at the time on the shelf. happy


myLot reputation of 98/100. aseretdd (6862)   ranked 6 out of 1,092 in books  3 years ago

I myself wish that i can read more... but since i have to divide my time between taking care of my daughter, house chores, internet, and work... reading gets very little attention...


myLot reputation of 97/100. anetteh (1547)   ranked 126 out of 1,092 in books  3 years ago

Same here. I work fulltime, And the time I have left when I come home I want to give fore internet businessess.lol

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.


myLot reputation of 97/100. AmbiePam (20751)  3 years ago

I remember when I found out George Eliot was a woman. It tickled me. Serves the sexist men right!


myLot reputation of 98/100. aseretdd (6862)   ranked 6 out of 1,092 in books  3 years ago

Yes, i know... my english teacher also forced us to read the short biography of Mary Ann Evans... and i can fully understand why she used a man's name... Silas Marner is like the first classic that i read... so this book opened the door for me to venture into reading more classics like "The Count of Monte Cristo", "Les Miserables", "Peter Pan", and even "Tarzan of the Apes"...

Thanks for the response...


myLot reputation of 96/100. drannhh (9911)  3 years ago

All those you listed were wonderful favorites from my childhood, too. Thanks for the BR :-)

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.


myLot reputation of 98/100. aseretdd (6862)   ranked 6 out of 1,092 in books  3 years ago

Wow... never thought there is ever a book like that... seems like the 100 and 1 ways on how to charm people... well, it is nice that people are going out of their way to share their secret to others... i am not very good at wining people too...

Thanks for the response...


myLot reputation of 97/100. AmbiePam (20751)  3 years ago

No, it isn't about charming people. The author is a noted pastor and speaker. He uses Biblical guidelines on how to make ourselves into a person who looks and sees the good in others. And how to make ourselves open to the possibilities God has for us.
